Echenme la Tierra Encima
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por que me voy muy lejos
Muy lejos de aquí.
Traigo tristeza en el alma
Traigo un nudo en la garganta
No más por tu culpa
No más por seguirte
Entiérrame, mujer indigna
Yo siempre te he de querer,
No me importa lo que digan.
Entiérrame con tus desprecios,
Yo siempre te he de querer
En la tierra y en el cielo.
Echen me la tierra encima
Por que me voy muy lejos
Muy lejos de aquí.
Traigo tristeza en el alma
Traigo un nudo en la garganta
No más por tu culpa
No más por seguirte
No más por quererte a ti.
Entiérrame, mujer indigna
Yo siempre te he de querer,
No me importa lo que digan.
Entiérrame con tus desprecios,
Yo siempre te he de querer
En la tierra y en el cielo.
In Pedro Infante's song "Echenme la Tierra Encima", the singer expresses a deep sadness caused by a woman who has hurt him. He asks to be buried under the ground because he wants to flee from the pain and heartache that he is feeling. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair as the singer feels that his life has lost all meaning without this woman. He blames her for the sadness and heartache that he feels, as he followed her and loved her deeply, but she did not return his love, and instead treated him with contempt and scorn.
The singer's plea for burial under the earth, away from the woman who has caused him pain, is a metaphorical representation of wanting to escape his emotional turmoil. He believes that his love for her will never die, despite her behavior towards him, and that he will love her even in death, in both heaven and on earth. He acknowledges her disregard for him and calls her an "indignant woman," but declares that he will always love her, regardless of what people may say.
The emotional weight of the song's lyrics is emphasized by Pedro Infante's powerful voice and the mournful melody of the music. The heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love and its tragic effects on the human psyche continues to resonate with listeners to this day.

La nobleza de Pedrito Infante y del Sr. Mario Moreno ( Cantinflas ), que Dios los tenga en su Santo Reino, fue tan grande, porque nunca olvidaron a su gente, siempre preocupados, ayudando y dando víveres a los necesitados, a los de abajo
