Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas que a mis ojos.
Mas que a mis ojos ti quero.
Pero quiero mas a mis ojos,
Pero quero mas a mis ojos,
Porque mis ojos ti vieron.
Y si tu los quieres,
Pos ya sabes quieres tu,
Para quien quero mis ojos.
Ti quiero mas a mis ojos,
Mas que a mis ojos ti quiero,
Pero quero mas a mis ojos.
Pero quero mas a mis ojos.
Porque mis ojos ti vieron.
The song "Te quiero más que a mis ojos" by Pedro Infante is a love song that articulates the depth of love felt by the singer for their beloved. The lyrics indicate that the singer loves their beloved more than anything in the world, including their own eyes, which have seen their beloved. This statement is made twice, first in the lines "Te quiero más que a mis ojos" and then in "Mas que a mis ojos ti quiero." The use of repetition emphasizes the importance of this love to the singer.
However, in the following lines, the singer paradoxically states that they love their own eyes more than anything else. This contradiction can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible explanation is that the eyes are a crucial part of the singer's identity, and they are proud of what their eyes have seen. Therefore, even though they love their beloved more than anything, they cannot help but cherish their eyes as well.
The last verse shifts the focus to the beloved, as the singer declares that if the beloved wants their eyes, they can have them. This shift is important because it reveals that the love between the singer and the beloved is not one-sided; the singer is willing to make sacrifices for their beloved. Overall, the lyrics of "Te quiero más que a mis ojos" convey a deep, passionate love that is both selfless and self-absorbed.
