Patricia Navidad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me corre por dentro
Que ha infectado mi cuerpo y me vas a matar.
Eres el mal que nació de tus besos,
Que me cala los huesos en fase terminal.
Enferma estoy de ti de ti
Enferma y descuidada
Enferma estoy de ti por ti, muriendo enamorada.
No hay tratamiento a mi dolor,
La medicina de este amor lleva tu nombre.
Por Dios apiadate de mi quedate a mi lado.
Ven, ven saname en tus brazos
Ven y saname, ven y saname.
Inevitablemente el corazón si tu no estas aqui no me responde,
No hay tratamiento a mi dolor,
La medicina de este amor lleva tu nombre.
Por Dios apiadate de mi quedate a mi lado.
Ven, ven saname en tus brazos
The lyrics of Patricia Navidad's song "El Espejo" convey the idea of a toxic and all-consuming love that has taken over the singer's body and soul. The first few lines suggest that the love interest is like a disease that has infected her to the point of death. She describes him as the "mal" (evil) that was born from his own kisses and has penetrated her bones to a terminal level. The singer admits to being sick of him and that she is dying because of her love for him. She begs him to stay and heal her with his love, as he is the only treatment to her pain.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer's heart being unresponsive without the love interest, so much so that there is no medicine for her love, but his presence. She pleads for him to have mercy and stay by her side, begging for him to come and heal her in his arms. The lyrics suggest that the singer is fully aware of the destructive nature of their relationship, yet she cannot help but be fully enamored by her love interest.
