Cuando El Destino
Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No vengo a pedirte amores
ya no quiero tu cariño
si una vez te amé en la vida
no lo vuelvas a decir

Me contaron tus amigos
que te encuentras muy solita
que maldices a tu suerte
porque piensas mucho en mi

Es por eso que he venido
a reírme de tu pena
yo que a Dios le había pedido
que te hundiera más que a mi

Dios me ha dado ese capricho
y he venido a verte hundida
para hacerte yo en la vida
lo que tú me hiciste a mi

Ya lo ves como el destino
todo cobra y nada olvida
ya lo ves como un cariño
nos arrastra y nos humilla

Qué bonita es la venganza
cuando Dios nos la concede
yo sabía que en la revancha
te tenía que hacer perder

Ahí te dejo mi desprecio
yo que tanto te adoraba
pa' que veas cual es el precio
de las leyes del querer

Ya lo ves como el destino
todo cobra y nada olvida
ya lo ves como un cariño
nos arrastra y nos humilla

Qué bonita es la venganza
cuando Dios nos la concede
yo sabía que en la revancha
te tenía que hacer perder

Ahí te dejo mi desprecio
yo que tanto te adoraba




pa' que veas cual es el precio
de las leyes del querer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles's song Cuando El Destino depict a man who has come to visit his former lover with the intention to mock her misfortune. He makes it clear that he no longer desires her love or affection and warns her not to mention the love they shared in the past. The man has learned that the woman is alone and unhappy, thinking that her current state is due to her thinking of him. The man expresses satisfaction that he has been given what he wanted, which is to see her suffer, and now he can return the pain and hurt that she caused him.


The chorus, which is repeated several times throughout the song, highlights the idea that destiny catches up with everyone eventually, and that love can be a fickle and cruel force that can bring joy and pain, but ultimately it's unable to be avoided or forgotten. The man exults in his revenge, completing the cycle of hurt that he feels has been inflicted on him. In the end, he leaves her with his contempt, reminding her of the high price that one pays for the laws of love.


The song's lyrics are filled with metaphors and poetic language, showcasing the range of emotions that come with love and heartbreak. When translated to English, one still gets a sense of the passion and intensity behind the words. The song is a reflection of the traditional Mexican style of music, with the use of guitar and trumpets to create a lively and upbeat feel.
