Toma De Mí
Marc Anthony Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lo peor de mí
Lo escondo en un lugar, lejos de ti
Lo blindo bajo llave, por que así
Tan solo ves mis alas, mi jardín
De promesas para ti

Lo peor de mí
Mis miedos y mis dudas de marfil

Las guerras que me dejan, cicatriz
Los guardo por un rato y vuelvo a ti

Vuelvo a ti

A lo peor de mí
Le estoy buscando cura
Para que nunca rose tú hermosura
Lo peor de mí
Me esquiva y desdibuja
Al ver en tus dos ojos mi fortuna

Lo mejor de mí
Es que no tengo duda
Que cómo tú no habrá ninguna

Lo peor de mí
Lo amarro como un perro, para huir
Sus dientes solo quieren, destruir
Todo el amor que sientes hoy por mí
Hoy por mí

A lo peor de mí
Le estoy buscando cura
Para que nunca rose tú hermosura
Lo peor de mí
Me esquiva y desdibuja
Al ver en tus dos ojos mi fortuna

Lo mejor de mí
Es que no tengo duda
Que como tú no habrá ninguna

Lo peor de ti
Aún sigue siendo bueno para mí
Tomarte no me hará jamas feliz
Tan bruja y tan princesa
Pero en fin, pero en fin

Lo peor de ti
Es cómo aquellas frutas
Que aún ácidas endulzan

Lo peor de mí
Lo peor

(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Que tú eres mi fortuna, no cabe duda)
Que eres la dueña de mi corazón
Y como tú no habrá ninguna

(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Que tú eres mi fortuna, no cabe duda)
Es que tu ere' lo má' grande pa' mí
Mamita no me queda duda

(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Es que no ves, tú no ves)

(Es que no ves, tú no ves)
(Es que no ves, tú no ves)

Overall Meaning

The song "Toma De Mí" by Marc Anthony is about being vulnerable in front of the person you love. The artist admits to hiding the worst parts of himself, such as his fears, doubts, and past emotional wounds, in order to avoid scaring away his lover. The bad parts of him are like a vicious dog that threatens the love he shares with his partner, and he needs to find a cure for it in order to protect the beauty of their relationship. He recognizes that his sweetheart is the greatest thing in his life, and there is nobody like her.

By contrast, the best thing about himself is that he is certain that his devotion for her is unwavering. He sees his partner as a combination of a witch and a princess, and despite the fact, she might have some negative qualities or flaws, she is still the most important person in his life. Through the lyrics, the singer conveys his feelings of how love can make a person feel vulnerable, but it is worth it to him because of the person he is with.

En medio del mar,
Buscando un puerto,
Y anclar.
Tú vienes y vas,
Así como las olas.
Soñando solo en tu libertad,
Sin admitir que la verdad te da miedo,
Volver a amar,
Y yo te quiero liberar,
Y tú no ves lo que te puedo dar.

Estribillo

Toma de mí,
Toma mi alma y sanaré mi alegría.
Toma mi cuerpo y sanaré tus heridas,
Totalmente.
Toma de mí,
Toma mi fe y seré yo el mar de tú isla.
Toma mi amor y volverás a la vida misma.
Lentamente.
No te arrepentirás no,
Ya no des marcha atrás,
Ya no des marcha atrás

Volando así hacia el fondo,
De la soledad,
Nada puedo hacer.
Cierras tus alas,
Para no volar.
Soñando solo en tu libertad,
Sin admitir que la verdad te da miedo,
Volver a amar,
Y yo te quiero liberar,
Y tú no ves lo que te puedo dar.

Estribillo

Toma de mí,
Toma mi alma y te daré mi alegría.
Toma mi cuerpo y sanaré tus heridas,
Totalmente.
Toma de mí,
Toma mi fe y seré yo el mar de tú isla.
Toma mi amor y volverás a la vida misma.
Lentamente.

Toma de mi,
Toma mi fe y seré yo el mar de tú isla.
Toma mi amor y volverás a la vida misma.
Lentamente,
No te arrepentirás no,
Ya no des marcha atrás,
Ya no des marcha atrás
