CUESTA ABAJO
Pasión Vega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si arrastré por estemundo
la vergüenza de habersido
y el dolor de ya no ser...
Bajo el ala del sombrero,
cuántas veces embozada
una lágrima asomada
yo no pude contener...
Si crucé por los caminos
como un paria que el Destino
se empeño en deshacer...
Si fui flojo, si fui ciego,
sólo quiero que comprendan
el valor que representa
el coraje de querer.

Era para mí la vida entera,
como un sol de primavera,
mi esperanza y mí pasión.
Sabía
que en el mundo no cabía
toda la humilde alegría
de mi pobre corazón.
Ahora,
cuesta abajo en mi rodada,
las ilusiones pasadas
yo no las puedo arrancar.
Sueño
con el pasado que añoro,
el tiempo viejo que lloro
y que nunca volverá.

Por seguir tras de su huella
yo bebí incansablemente
en mi copa de dolor,
pero nade comprendía
que si todo yo lo daba
en cada vuelta dejaba
pedazos de corazón.
Ahora, triste en la pendiente,
solitario y ya vencido,
yo me quiero confesar.

¡Si aquella boca mentía
el amor que me ofrecía,
por aquellos ojos brujos
yo habría dado siempre más!

Overall Meaning

In Pasión Vega's song "Cuesta Abajo", the lyrics express the struggle of the singer to come to terms with their past mistakes and the pain that comes from not being able to change them. The opening lyrics convey a sense of shame and regret for the mistakes made in the past, and the singer's attempts to hide their feelings behind a sombrero. The lyrics then delve into the struggles faced by the singer, who has been cast aside by fate and treated as an outcast, before expressing a desire to be understood and appreciated for the bravery and courage it takes to love.


The song is then punctuated by a reflection on the past and the pain of being unable to change it. The singer looks back at a life that was once full of hope and passion, but is now empty and without meaning. They long for a past that has been lost to time, and the dreams that once filled their heart. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "cuesta abajo", which means "downhill", serving as a metaphor for the character's descent into despair and loss.


The final verse of the song is a confession of sorts, as the singer reflects on the love they once had for someone who did not truly love them back. They gave everything to this person, even as they were slowly losing pieces of their own heart in the process. The song ends with a powerful statement of regret and longing, as the singer laments the fact that they would have given even more if they had known the love they received was not genuine.
