Me Dices Que Te Vas
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muy lejos de mi vida
Me dices que tal vez
Un día volverás
Que tienes corazón
De errante golondrina
Me dices que te vas
Llorar no me veras
El día que me dejes
Mis lágrimas dirán
Las penas de mi amor
Mis labios temblaran
El día que te alejes
Pues no podrán besar
Para decir adiós
Me dices que te vas
Te pido que no vuelvas
Las cosas no serán
Lo mismo que ahora son
No quiero que al volver
Encuentres que la ausencia
El odio y el rencor
Sembró en mi corazón
Me dices que te vas
Te pido que no vuelvas
Las cosas no serán
Lo mismo que ahora son
No quiero que al volver
Encuentres que la ausencia
El odio y el rencor
Sembró en mi corazón

He also knows that he will be unable to kiss her goodbye, as his lips will be trembling with sadness.
Despite all this, the singer warns his beloved that he doesn't want her to come back if she ever leaves. He fears that in her absence, he might become consumed with hate and bitterness for her.

The lyrics of the song speak of the deep emotions of love and heartbreak. It captures the feelings of loss and fear that come with the departure of a loved one. The singer is caught in a dilemma of wanting his beloved to stay with him, but also not wanting to hold her back from her dreams.
