Hasta Que Te Conoci
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ni de lagrimas, ni nada
Que me hicieran llorar
Yo sabía de cariño, de ternura
Porque a mi desde pequeño
Eso me enseñó mamá
Eso me enseñó mamá
Eso y muchas cosas más
Yo jamás sufrí
Yo jamás lloré
Yo era muy feliz
Yo vivía muy bien
Yo vivía tan distinto
Algo hermoso, algo divino
Lleno de felicidad
Yo sabía de alegrías
La belleza y de la vida
Pero no de soledad
Pero no de soledad
Eso y muchas cosas más
Yo jamás sufrí,
Ay, yo jamás lloré
Yo era muy feliz
Yo vivía muy bien
Hasta que te conocí
Vi la vida con dolor
No te miento fui feliz
Aunque con muy poco amor
Y muy tarde comprendí
Que no te debí amar
Porque ahora pienso en ti
Más que ayer, y mucho más
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, mamá
Hasta que te conocí
Vi la vida con dolor
No te miento fui feliz
Aunque con muy poco amor
Y muy tarde comprendí
Que no te debí amar
Porque ahora pienso en ti
Más que ayer, y mucho más
Eh, eh, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Eh
Es que tú fuiste muy mala
Sí muy mala conmigo
Por eso no te quiero
No te quiero ver jamás
Vete, vete, vete
Eres una bandolera
Voy a ser yo lo que pueda
Para no quererte más
Es que tú fuiste muy mala
Sí muy mala conmigo
Por eso no te quiero
No te quiero ver jamás
Eh, eh, tú ve
The lyrics to Marc Anthony's song Hasta Que Te Conocí tell the story of a person who had a happy life filled with love, tenderness, and joy, taught by their mother since childhood. The person had never experienced sadness, tears, or loneliness until they fell in love with someone. The lyrics convey that the singer fell deeply in love with this person, although it was with very little love in return. As a result, the singer experienced pain and saw life with different eyes, learning about heartbreak and how it felt.
Then, the lyrics take an introspective turn as the singer admits that they should never have loved this person because they still think about them more than ever, even though they were not good for each other. The lyrics end with the singer telling the other person to leave them alone and that they want nothing to do with them because they were "very bad" to them.
Overall, the song speaks to the powerful impact of love on a person's life and how it can bring both joy and pain, and how sometimes, it's better to forget about someone who has hurt us to move on to a happier life.
