Serenata Huasteca
Omar Chaparro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Canto al pie de tu ventana
Pa'que sepas que te quiero
Tu a mi no me quieres nada
Pero yo por ti me muero

Dicen que ando muy errado
Que despierte de mis sueños
Pero se han equivocado

Porque yo he de ser tu dueño

Que voy a hacer
Si de veras te quiero
Ya te adoré
Y olvidarte no puedo

Dicen que pa'conseguirte
Necesito una fortuna
Que debo bajar del cielo
Las estrellas y la luna

Yo no bajaré la luna
Ni las estrellas tampoco
Y aunque no tenga fortuna
Me querrás poquito a poco

Que voy a hacer
Si de veras te quiero
Ya te adoré
Y olvidarte no puedo

Yo sé que hay muchas mujeres
Y que sobra quien me quiera
Pero ninguna me importa
Sólo pienso en ti morena

Mi corazón te ha escogido
Y llorar no quiero verlo
Ya el pobre mucho ha sufrido
Ahora tienes que quererlo
Que voy a hacer
Si de veras te quiero

Ya te adoré
Y olvidarte no puedo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Omar Chaparro's song Serenata Huasteca convey the heart-wrenching story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who does not reciprocate his feelings. The opening lines speak of the man's desperation to communicate his love to her, even though she doesn't feel the same way. Despite the many voices urging him to move on and forget about her, his love for her remains steadfast, and he declares his intention to make her his own.

The next section responds to the criticism he faces for his singular focus on this one woman. People tell him that he will never be able to win her over without being wealthy or without resorting to grand romantic gestures like bringing down the moon and stars for her. However, he asserts that he will not take those drastic measures and instead insists that he will win her over with his sincerity and love.

The final section speaks of his determination to stay true to his heart's desire, despite the prospect of other women who might be interested in him. He declares that his heart has chosen her, and he cannot bear to see it suffer any longer. He implores her to love him back and put an end to his misery.

All in all, the song is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that speaks to the universal human experience of unrequited love and the lengths to which people will go to win over the objects of their affection.
