Yo Trato
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que yo no me acuerde de ti
No hay labios que bese
Que no, no me sepan a ti
Tu te quedaste para siempre aqui
En mi pensamiento
Tu me dominas
Tienes el control
Aunque estes lejos
De nada me sirve
Porque yo te quiero
Ay, mas que ayer
Ay, mas que ayer
Yo trato, trato, trato
Pero no te olvido
Yo lucho, lucho, lucho
Y no lo consigo
Lo pongo todo de mi parte
Y no es suficiente
Es como seguir nadando
Contra la corriente
Contra la corriente, amor
Yo trato, trato, trato
Pero no te olvido
Yo lucho, lucho, lucho
Y no lo consigo
Lo pongo todo de mi parte
Y no es suficiente
Es como seguir nadando
Contra la corriente
Contra la corriente, amor
No hay noche que llegue
Que yo no te sienta aqui
Tu te quedaste para siempre
Aqui en mi pensamiento
Tu me dominas
Tienes el control
De mis sentimientos
Aunque estes lejos
De nada me sirve
Porque yo te quiero
Ay, mas que ayer
Ay, mas que ayer
Yo trato, trato, trato
Pero no te olvido
Yo lucho, lucho, lucho
Y no lo consigo
Lo pongo todo de mi parte
Y no es suficiente
Es como seguir nadando
Contra la corriente
Contra la corriente, amor
Yo trato, trato, trato
Pero no te olvido
Yo lucho, lucho, lucho
Y no lo consigo
Lo pongo todo de mi parte
Y no es suficiente
Es como seguir nadando
Contra la corriente
Contra la corriente, amor
Wow!
He tratado de olvidarte
Y todavia no lo consigo
Todavia siento tu amor
En mi pecho encendido
He tratado de olvidarte
Y todavia no lo consigo
Y es que cada anochecer
Deseo estar contigo
He tratado de olvidarte
Y todavia no lo consigo
Que me hiciste, que me diste
Que quede por tu amor mal herido, ohhhh
Wow!
Yo lucho y lucho, ay como lucho
Yo trato y trato, pero es en vano
Yo lucho y lucho
Pero te extrano
Ay, como lucho
Que sigo pensando
Yo trato y trato
Trato de olvidarte
Pero es en vano
Pero te amo
Pero te amo!
No te olvidare
Y no me diga que no es suficiente
Porque yo siempre te voy a querer
Yo lucho y lucho
Es una lucha perdida
Tu solo nombre me excita
Y ven, ven, ven
Que estas en mi pensamiento
Como una llama encendida
Ehhhhh!
Ay, como lucho
Contra la marea
Trato y trato
Trato y trato
Busco y busco
Lucho y no lo consigo
The lyrics of Marc Anthony's song "Yo Trato" are about a person who has tried to forget his lover but has been unsuccessful in doing so. He vividly remembers and longs for his lover through his thoughts and senses. The person feels dominated and controlled by his feelings for the lover despite being far away. He puts all his efforts into forgetting the lover but it seems to be a futile attempt. It is like swimming against the tide or going against one's nature. The person is still in love with his lover and can't seem to shake off the feelings.
The song is about the struggle of a person who is unable to let go of his thoughts and feelings for someone they love. The lyrics convey the intensity of love, and how it can be an all-consuming emotion that one can’t easily move on from. The song speaks to the universal theme of people struggling to move on from a past love.
