No Me Platiques
Pedro Infante Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me platiques ya,
Lo que debió pasar
Antes de conocernos se
Que has tenido horas felices
Aun si estar con migo.

No quiero ya saber
Que pudo suceder en todos

Esos años que tu has vivido
Con otras gentes
Lejos de mi cariño.

Te quiero tanto que me encelo
Hasta de lo que pudo ser y
Me figuro que por eso
Es que yo vivo tan intranquilo.

No me platiques ya, déjame
Imaginar que no existe el
Pasado y que nacimos el
Mismo instante en que nos
Conocimos.

Te quiero tanto que me encelo
Hasta de lo que pudo ser y
Me figuro que por eso es
Que yo vivo tan intranquilo.

No me platiques ya, déjame
Imaginar que no existe el
Pasado y que nacimos el

Mismo instante en que nos
Conocimos.

Overall Meaning

The song "No me platiques" by Pedro Infante is about a man who loves a woman so deeply that the thought of her past experiences with other men makes him feel jealous and insecure. He pleads with her not to tell him about her past because her previous happy moments without him can make him feel more unsteady in their relationship. He wants to imagine that they are the only two people in the world; born at the same moment that they met. The song is ultimately about jealousy caused by fear of losing the love of his life.

Pedro Infante's voice captures the raw emotion of the lyrics creating a sad and sentimental atmosphere. The song was produced in the 1950s when he was at the peak of his career. It was an instant hit with both Spanish-speaking audiences and non-Spanish speakers alike. To this day, it is still one of the most popular songs in classic Mexican music.
