De Tanto Amar
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mira como tengo el alma,
Hoy que busco consuelo
Dame un poco de calma.
Tú sabrás que mi vida
Ya no entiende razones,
Virgencita del cielo
De tanto amar, la luz del sol
Se me ha perdido,
De tanto amar, la luna de mis noches
Se ha escondido.
Virgencita del cielo
Yo también soy hijo tuyo,
Dame ya tu consuelo
Hoy que sufro en el mundo.
De tanto amar, la luz del sol
Se me ha perdido,
De tanto amar, la luna de mis noches
Se ha escondido.
Virgencita del cielo
Yo también soy hijo tuyo,
Dame ya tu consuelo
Hoy que sufro en el mundo
The lyrics to Pedro Infante's "De Tanto Amar" are a plea to the Virgin Mary for comfort and reassurance during a time of heartbreak and despair. The singer is asking for a bit of peace and tranquility in a world that has become confusing and difficult to navigate. He speaks of his love - so intense and extreme that it has caused him to lose sight of the world around him. The objects that once brought him joy - the sun and the moon - are now diminished and obscured by the overwhelming power of his emotions.
The singer identifies himself as a child of the Virgin Mary, and implores her to show him the same love and kindness that she would show to any of her children. He is suffering in the world, and seeks solace in her embrace. The repetition of the chorus - "De tanto amar, la luz del sol se me ha perdido / De tanto amar, la luna de mis noches se ha escondido" - reinforces the message of the song. Love has robbed him of his ability to see clearly, but he trusts that the Virgin Mary will help him find his way back to the light.
