Tanto
Nino Segarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Quién te crees para hablarme de esa forma?
Poniendo en duda lo que por mi siente
Si a mi lado nunca ha sido indiferente
No te miento
Ella es otra
En mi cuerpo se refugia
Desnudándonos el alma en cada beso
Lo que hay entre nosotros es intenso
Tanto tú como yo
Hoy andamos luchando
Por la misma mujer
Y aquí nos encontramos
Yo le entrego mi ser, mi experiencia, mis años
Sabes mejor que yo
Que ella a ti
Ya te ha olvidado
Sé que ella, te obsesiona
La deseas en tu mirada se te nota
Nunca me ha engañado, no lo acepto
Me confundes para quitarme del medio
Pregúntale
Que te responda
¿Por qué siempre se me entrega sin demora?
Pidiéndome
Que ya sea su dueño
Sin límites con todo el sentimiento
Tanto tú como yo
Hoy andamos luchando
Por la misma mujer
Y aquí nos encontramos
Yo le entrego mi ser, mi experiencia, y mis años
Sabes mejor que yo
Que ella está, aquí a mi lado
No lo puedo aceptar no, no
Aquí a mi lado
Tú la quieres conquistar
Pero no puedes
Aquí a mi lado
Yo voy a mi
Y yo también a mi
Es que tanto tú como yo la estamos amando
Es que tanto tú como yo la estamos amando
En su vida yo fuí el primero
Y del jardín de su amor, soy jardinero
Es que tanto tú como yo la estamos amando
Sí, yo fui el segundo en su vida
Pero el primero que amó
No me daré por vencido
Ni yo tampoco
Lleva
Segarra
Y Pedro Arroyo
Arroyando otra vez
Seguro
Es que tanto tú como yo la estamos amando
Luchemos por ella y veamos con quién de los dos
Al final se queda , ella
Es que tanto tú como yo la estamos amando
Anda y pregúntale
Que el que adora su piel,
Y allí encontrarás
Mi huella
Si y mis besos y mis caricias
Seguro
Lo dudo
No inventes
Por la misma bella mujer, hoy tenemos que enfrentarnos
y yo que confiaba en ti
pero quién lo iba a decir
Por la misma bella mujer, hoy tenemos que enfrentarnos
Seguramente, en el amor fuiste incompetente y no le supiste dar
Lo que yo le dí
¿Pero qué?
Pasión
The lyrics of Nino Segarra's song "Tanto" depict a narrative of two men fighting for the affection of the same woman. The singer expresses disbelief and questions the audacity of the other man for speaking to him in such a disrespectful manner. They argue over the woman's feelings and question her loyalty, with the singer asserting that she has never been indifferent towards him.
The lyrics continue to elaborate on the singer's relationship with the woman, emphasizing the intense connection they share. The singer admits that the other man desires her and can see it in his eyes, but insists that she has never deceived him. The singer feels confused and manipulated, believing that the other man is trying to remove him from the equation to secure the woman's affections.
In the chorus, both the singer and the other man acknowledge that they are fighting for the same woman. The singer expresses his willingness to give her his all - his being, experience, and years. He challenges the other man by suggesting that the woman has already forgotten about him. It becomes evident that the singer sees himself as the woman's current partner and feels threatened by the other man's advances.
The lyrics continue to showcase the singer's belief that the woman is obsessed with him and that he is the one she truly desires. He invites the other man to ask her directly why she readily gives herself to him and asks to be with him without hesitation. The singer asserts that their connection is deep and limitless.
The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, where the singer and the other man continue to declare their love for the woman and their determination to fight for her. They suggest that the final decision on who she chooses rests with her. The lyrics imply a sense of competition and conflict as the two men vie for her affections.
Overall, "Tanto" delves into the complexities of love triangles and the emotional turmoil that arises when two people compete for the attention and love of the same person. The lyrics paint a picture of passion, desire, and confusion, creating a dramatic and intense portrayal of the situation.
