El Testamento
Pastor Lopez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahora que siento que ya estoy cansado,
Que me estoy muriendo yo estoy preocupado.
Ay abogado quiero que me escuche estoy acabado ya de tanto amor.
Quiero que entienda y de una vez comprenda decida la herencia que voy
A dejar, claros los nombre para que no
Exista ninguna razón de alguna confusión.
A Asunción le dejo aquí mi corazón, a María toda toda mi alegría,
Un millón de abrazos para Concepción, a Teresa toda toda mi tristeza,
A la tía Leticia todas mis caricias y a la abuela Amparo nada por
Infiel, y es mi testamento que ahora formulé y voy a dejarlas a todas
Contentas, y es mi testamento que ahora formulé y voy a
Dejarlas a todas sonriendo y es mi testamento que ahora formule... (

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pastor Lopez's song El Testamento deal with a person's concern about their impending death and the need to make a will, or in this case, a testamento. The singer is feeling tired and worried that they might die soon, and so they want to make sure that their wishes are clear and that there is no confusion over their inheritance. They address their lawyer and express how they are finished with love and want to distribute their assets among their loved ones.

The singer then goes on to mention the individuals who will receive the inheritance, with each person receiving something that represents their relationship with the singer. For example, Asunción receives the singer's heart, while María receives their joy. Teresa receives the singer's sadness, and tía Leticia receives all their affection. Surprisingly though, the singer does not leave anything for their grandmother, Amparo, perhaps because of her perceived infidelity. The song ends with the singer declaring that this is their testamento and that they are leaving everyone content and smiling.

Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the desire to make sure that one's loved ones are cared for after one's death. The choice to distribute assets based on the characteristics of the people they are given to is a unique and touching touch.
