Que Lástima
Pedro Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No sabes que difícil es vivir
Sabiendo que los besos que me diste
No fueron nada mas pensando en mi
Que lastima que no pueda curarle
Las penas a tu corazon
Las huellas del pasado son tan grandes
Que lastima que no puedas amarme
Que no sientas al mirarme
Lo mismo que siento yo
Que lastima que no puedo llevarte
Con mis besos a otra parte
Donde alivie tu dolor
Que lastima que puedas olvidarme
Que lastima que no te olvide yo
Que lastima que siendo tan iguales
Llevemos tan distinta dirección
Tu amor se esta muriendo por alguien
Que lastima ese alguien no sea yo

The singer is lamenting the fact that the kisses he received from his love were not genuine, but rather given out of obligation or duty. The second verse speaks of the scars left by past relationships, which cannot be healed by anyone but time.
The chorus expresses the singer's yearning for his love's reciprocation, "Que lastima que no puedas amarme, que no sientas al mirarme, lo mismo que siento yo" (what a shame you can't love me, that you don't feel when you look at me what I feel). He longs to take her away from her pain and sorrow, "Que lastima que no puedo llevarte con mis besos a otra parte donde alivie tu dolor" (what a shame I can't take you away with my kisses to a place where your pain is alleviated). In the bridge, he acknowledges that it is unfortunate that they are both so similar, but their feelings for each other are heading in different directions. The song ends with the poignant line, "Tu amor se está muriendo por alguien, que lastima ese alguien no sea yo" (your love is dying for someone, what a shame that someone is not me).
