Quisiera Amarte Menos
Martirio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
ños
Me robaron la razón cuando te vi
Tú eras un ángel y yo un loco soñador
Que te entregué mi amor
Quisiera amarte menos
Para poder vivir sin ti
Quisiera amarte menos
Y no sufrir como un niño
Quisiera amarte menos
Para poder olvidar
Quisiera amarte menos
Y no llorar al recordar
Martirio's song "Quisiera Amarte Menos" is a heartbreaking ballad about the struggle and pain of trying to let go of a love that has stolen the singer's reason and heart. The first lines of the song immediately convey the sense of being overwhelmed by love, a love that hits like springtime in one's twenties, and how it can disorient one's senses. The singer's words are a confession of being possessed and consumed by this love, unable to escape it, and how it has taken over her life.
The chorus, "Quisiera amarte menos" (I wish I loved you less), shows the dichotomy between one's desire to move on and the irresistible pull of love, making it impossible to leave the loved one. The singer wishes to lessen her love for this person, but she cannot live without them, and the pain of trying to forget and move on is palpable. The lyrics and the melody express the anguish and vulnerability of someone who has lost control of their emotions and is unable to break away from this overwhelming love.
