Si He De Morir
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De una pasión sin nombre
Entre suspiros y sudores
Ha de hacer así
Cabizbajo aturdido
Hecho todo un desorden
Como un dios vagabundo y torpe
Pensando que aquí estoy yo
Encadenado al amor
Cambiándonos de nombre
Cual dos cobardes que se esconden
En el ocaso de la noche
Cual dos cobardes que se esconden
Hasta que todo acabe aquí
Porque es insaciable mi sed por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Hazme estallar ardiendo por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Vente a rodar por dentro de mí
Ven, hagamos el amor
Hazme volar llorando por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Si he de morir que sea
Por donde nadie estorbe
Ahogado de un amor sin nombre
Ha de hacer así
Pensando que aquí estoy yo
Encadenado al amor
Cambiándonos de nombre
Cual dos cobardes que se esconden
En el ocaso de la noche
Cual dos cobardes que se esconden
Hasta que todo acabe aquí
Porque es insaciable mi sed por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Hazme estallar ardiendo por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Vente a rodar por dentro de mí
Ven, hagamos el amor
Hazme volar llorando por ti
Ven, hagamos el amor
Es insaciable mi sed por ti
Ay, por ti
Ven hagamos el amor
Es insaciable mi sed por ti
Ay, por ti
Ven hagamos el amor
Encadenado tu amor, encadenado
Encadenado y atrapado
Encadenado tu amor, encadenado
Me desespero, te necesito mujer
Encadenado tu amor, encadenado
Encadenado, encadenado
Encadenado tu amor, encadenado
Hasta volar por dentro de ti
Encadenado, encadenado, encadenado
The lyrics of Marc Anthony's Si He De Morir evoke a passionate and intense love, one that the singer is willing to die for. The first verse describes how the singer wishes to die in the midst of a nameless passion, one characterized by sighs and sweat. He describes himself as feeling disoriented and lost, like a clumsy god. This love may be chaotic, but it is also tender.
The chorus emphasizes the insatiable thirst the singer has for his lover. He invites her to make love to him and to make him explode with desire. He wants her to roll inside him and to make him cry with pleasure. He is willing to die for her love, as long as it is a love untainted by others' influence.
The second verse repeats the singer's desire to die for his beloved, and how he feels tied to this love, changing his name like two cowards hiding in the night. However, the ending suggests that he is not a coward, but an addict in need of his lover's touch. The repetition of "encadenado" (chained) suggests he is trapped in his love and cannot escape it.
Overall, the song portrays a love that is all-consuming and passionate, but also one that can lead to self-destruction.
