Te Di
Mariana Vega Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te di mi mejor momento, ese que no pasa lento
El que ya se termino
Te di todo de mi tiempo, yo me quede con los restos
Del minuto que sobro

Si me han bajado del cielo no te puedo culpa a ti
Y si ya no tengo nada fue porque todo te di
Ya no tengo nada que decir

Y quiero tener mis alas de nuevo
Quiero todo lo que di
Y quiero despegar mis pies de este suelo
Quiero volver a vivir

Te di mi mejor sonrisa aunque doliera fingirla
Para verte sonreír
Regale mi nombre al viento para ser parte del tuyo
Y olvidarme que existí

Si me han bajado del cielo no te puedo culpa a ti
Y si ya no tengo nada fue porque todo te di
Ya no tengo nada que decir

Y quiero tener mis alas de nuevo
Quiero todo lo que di
Y quiero despegar mis pies de este suelo
Quiero volver a vivir

Te di mi mejor momento
Yo me quede con los restos del minuto que sobro

Y quiero tener mis alas de nuevo
Quiero todo lo que di

Y quiero despegar mis pies de este suelo
Quiero volver a vivir

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mariana Vega's song "Te Di" are about a person who has given their all to someone else in a relationship, but now they feel worn out and empty. The singer gave their best moment, the one that doesn't feel slow, and all of their time to the other person but was left with the scraps of the minute that was left over. Despite all the effort they put into the relationship, it seems that it wasn't enough and now they feel depleted.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to reclaim what they had given away. They want their "wings" back and to live again. The verses then detail what the singer had given up in the relationship - their smiles, giving their name to the wind, trying to forget themselves in the other person. Ultimately, they realize that they have nothing left to give and that they want to start anew.

Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of giving and giving until there's nothing left. It dramatizes the consequences of such a situation and the singer's desire to reclaim their autonomy and free themselves from the burden they once took on.
