História de un Amor
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
Porque Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más
Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir
Y en tus besos yo encontraba
El amor que me brindaba
El calor de tu pasión
Es la historia de un amor
Como no habrá otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagándola después
Ay que noche tan obscura
Todo se me ha de volver
Ya no estoy más a tu lado, corazón
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
Porque Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más
Es la historia de un amor
Como no habrá otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagándola después
Ay que noche tan obscura
Todo se me ha de volver
Ya no estoy más a tu lado, corazón
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
Porque Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más
The song "Historia de un Amor" is a mournful ballad about heartbreak and loneliness. The first verse sets the scene - the singer is no longer with the person they love, leaving them with only solitude in their soul. The second verse explains the reason for their pain - even though they can no longer see their loved one, they were made to love them by God for the purpose of increasing their suffering. The third verse reflects on the significance of their love, and how it was the driving force behind their existence. The singer worshipped their partner, finding the warmth of their passion in the embrace of their affection.
The chorus speaks of the uniqueness of this love story, one that made the singer understand both good and evil in life. Their love gave light to their life, only to have it extinguished again. The final verse repeats the opening lines, summing up the pervasive sense of emptiness that has consumed the writer. Though they cannot see their love again, they cannot help but ache for them, as God made it so. The entire piece is a passionate, heart-wrenching ode to love and loss.
