Demasiado Herida
Paloma San Basilio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por tu culpa amigo yo he quedado
Demasiado herida
Que volver a verte ni pensarlo
Pobre del que venga, y pretenda
Ahora manejar mi vida
Quiera entrometerse intentando
Demasiado herida
Ya casi parezco un gorrión sin alas
Como si yo fuera menos que la nada
Como una gaviota que perdió su playa
Demasiado herida
Para estar consiente de lo que me pasa
Para estar planeando lo que haré mañana
Si tal vez mi vida aquí terminó
Demasiado herida
Para que me pidas empezar de nuevo
Pagaras la culpa quiera Dios
Que jamás te ocurra
Demasiado herida
Abre bien los ojos es la despedida
Y al cerrar la puerta debes olvidarme
Por toda la vida
Demasiado herida
Ya casi parezco un gorrión sin alas
Como si yo fuera menos que la nada
Como una gaviota que perdió su playa
Demasiado herida
Para estar consiente de lo que me pasa
Para estar planeando lo que haré mañana
Si tal vez mi vida aquí terminó
The song "Demasiado Herida" by Paloma San Basilio is a heart-wrenching ballad about a woman who has been deeply hurt by a friend. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been left broken and wounded by someone she trusted. She feels so hurt that she cannot picture ever wanting to see her friend again. She warns anyone else who may try to come into her life and deceive her with their lies that they will not be welcomed. She feels as if she has lost her strength and feels like a bird without wings, powerless and defeated.
The singer of the song feels too hurt to be able to move on with her life. She feels incapable of making plans for the future, as though her life has ended. She tells her friend that she cannot ask her to start anew, and that he will pay for the hurt he has caused her, possibly with divine retribution. She knows this is the end of their friendship and asks him to forget her for the rest of his life, as she feels too wounded to continue their relationship.
The song's lyrics are full of imagery and metaphors, comparing the singer's state of mind to that of a bird without wings that cannot fly. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who is struggling to come to terms with being hurt, and who has lost her sense of direction and purpose. The song conveys a sense of loss, pain, and resignation, as the singer knows that her friendship has ended and that she may never be able to recover from the hurt caused by her friend's betrayal.
