Pastora Soler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
un desengaño que esta vez, se ha vuelto ha abrir
como una herida.Con los fracasos del amor, hay quien
aprende la manera, de hacerse amigo del dolor,
pero en ti, aun quedan huella.
Desnudate, de tus miedos de tus penas, libeeerame
de esta duda que me rompe el alma, quien te hizo tanto daño.
Estribillo
ha llegado antes que yo arransando con
los sueños que tenias, que culpa tengo yo,
que te amo tanto, tanto, taaaanto.Dime quieeennn,
como pudo destrozar tu fe, la que busco cada dia,
dibujando mis caricias sobre tu dolor, si yo puediera curaaaarrr,
tu cooorazon...
Me pregunto una y otra vez, por que demonios
llegue tarde, que aunque me quieres, ya lo se,
hoy te maldigo por, cobarde.
Desnudate, de tus miedos de tus penas, libeeerame
de esta duda que nos envenena, quien te
hizo tanto daño.
Estribillo
Dime quieeeeen, arranco tus ilusiones, quieeeeennn,
ha llegado antes que yo arransando con
los sueños que tenias, que culpa tengo yo,
que te amo tanto, tanto, taaaanto.
Dime quieeennn, como pudo destrozar tu fe,
la que busco cada dia, dibujando mis caricias sobre tu dolor,
si yo puediera curaaaarrr, tu cooorazoooon... Quieeeeeeeeeeennnnnnn... tu dime
quien, dime quien, dime quieeeeennnn, como pudo
destrozar tu fe, la que busco cada dia,
dibujando mis caricias sobre tu dolor, si yo puediera curaaaarrr,
tu cooorazooooon...
The song Quien by Pastora Soler is a powerful ballad that explores the pain and confusion of loving someone who has been hurt before. The lyrics speak of a hidden page in the history of the beloved's skin, a past disappointment that has resurfaced like an open wound. The singer wonders who could have caused such pain and damaged the faith and dreams of the one she loves so much. She asks them to strip away their fears and doubts and let her help heal their heart.
The chorus repeats the question "Dime quien" (Tell me who) emphasizing the singer's frustration and desperation to understand what went wrong, who hurt her beloved, and why she is now paying the price. The lyrics suggest that the beloved has been hurt before and has become accustomed to living with the pain, but the singer is determined to help and heal them. She feels guilty for arriving too late and not being able to save her beloved from the previous suffering. The song ends with the repeated plea for her lover to tell her who hurt them so she can begin to heal their wounded heart.
In essence, Quien is a tale of love, pain, and healing. It is a plea for understanding and a promise of support and love. The song is a raw and emotional journey that captures the beauty and pain of love, and the power of healing and forgiveness.
