La Maxima
Patricio Caceres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cuando yo te fui a pedir el sí/ con chocolates, almendras, avena y miel te mentí.
Lentamente voy creyendo cada paso, cada gesto…
Cuál es la máxima de tu invitación/ que me tiene el pecho sangrando y sintiendo rencor?
cuando menos quiero sentirme así,/ el universo coloca regalos enfrente de ti
Lentamente voy creyendo cada paso, cada gesto/ tuyo y mío, libres siempre
The lyrics of Patricio Caceres's song La Máxima seem to be about a complicated relationship where the singer is constantly asking for forgiveness and feeling guilty for lying to their partner in the past. The chorus asks what is the maximum that their heart can take before their partner stops forgiving them. The singer seems to be slowly restoring their partner's trust with each step and gesture they take.
In the second verse, the singer wonders what is the maximum their partner can ask of them before they break. They feel hurt and angry, but the universe keeps placing gifts in front of their partner, making it difficult for them to stay mad. The singer continues to believe in each step and gesture they make, and they emphasize that they are both free to live and die like two snakes.
Overall, the song seems to touch on the themes of forgiveness, trust, and the fragility of relationships. The singer is aware of their faults and seems to be making an effort to make things right with their partner. However, there is a sense of uncertainty and fear that is expressed in the lyrics, indicating that the relationship is not yet fully healed.
