Oye
Pimpinela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

L Oye, y tú sinceramente qué creías,
Que haciéndome el daño que me hacías,
Tu nombre se iba a ir de mi memoria...
J Oye, hoy tienes frente a ti a un hombre herido,
Que un día se alejó de tu camino,
Queriendo revivir días de gloria...
L Oye, si ella al fin no fue lo que pensabas,
Si era la persona equivocada,
Lo siento, pero no es problema mío...
Oye, si tú cambiaste amor por aventura,
Y el tiempo puso precio a tu locura,
No vengas a pedir, que aquí no hay nada...
L Oye, te quise como nunca amé en la vida,
Callando aún sabiendo lo que hacías,
Por miedo a no poder seguir contigo...
J Oye, hoy he recuperado mi conciencia,
Si he vuelto es por tu amor y mi experiencia,
Ya creo haber pagado mi castigo...
L Oye, te estas equivocando nuevamente,
Si piensas que tu angustia es suficiente,
Para olvidar los años que sufrido...
L Oye, si ella al fin no te dio lo que buscabas,




Si era la persona equivocada,
Te has vuelto a equivocar, pero conmigo...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pimpinela's song Oye describe a conversation between two people who used to be in a relationship. One person is expressing their hurt and disappointment at the way they were treated by the other person, who seems to have taken their love for granted and caused them a great deal of pain. The other person is trying to make amends, but it is clear from the lyrics that they are no longer wanted or needed in the first person's life. The lyrics are full of emotion and tension, as both people struggle to come to terms with what has happened between them.


The song begins with the first person asking the other what they thought would happen after they had hurt them so badly. They express disbelief that the other person could have thought that their name would simply disappear from their memory. The second person responds by acknowledging that they did cause harm, but it is too late for them to change the past. They try to make excuses for their behavior, suggesting that perhaps the first person was not what they had been looking for all along.


As the song progresses, the first person becomes increasingly hostile towards the second, accusing them of being selfish and reckless. They express their deep love for the other person, but note that they were afraid to stand up to them and speak their truth for fear of losing them. The second person tries to make amends and to suggest that they have learned from their mistakes, but it is clear that their words fall on deaf ears. Finally, the first person tells the second that they are wrong to believe that their pain is enough to make up for the years of suffering they have endured, and that they are making the same mistakes all over again.


Overall, the lyrics to Oye are a powerful expression of the pain and heartache that can result from a failed relationship. They show how difficult it can be to move on from an experience like this, and how challenging it can be to forgive someone who has wronged us deeply.
