Mendigo
Raúl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que estoy mas delgado
Y desmejorado
Que estoy equivocado
Que voy por mal camino
Que ella me ha mentido
Solo se que desde aqui no puedo ver
Porque estoy obsesionado
Dominado y condenado a ser...
Mendigo
De sus decisiones
Mendigo
De mis emociones
Rendido a la aventura de su boca
Rendido como un loco enamorado
Solo soy un mendigo
De sus ambiciones
Mendigo
De mis tentaciones
Rendido y entregado a esta locura
Por solo una caricia
Una mirada suya
Soy... mendigo
Me dicen que he cambiado
Que estoy distanciado
Y descontrolado
Que ella me ha cegado
Que por ella miento
Que me estan perdiendo
Solo se que desde aqui no puedo ver
Lo que ellos ven
Porque estoy obsesionado
Dominado y condenado a ser...
Mendigo
De sus decisiones
Mendigo
De mis emociones
Rendido a la aventura de su boca
Rendido como un loco enamorado
Solo soy un mendigo
De sus ambiciones
Mendigo
De mis tentaciones
Rendido y entregado a esta locura
Por solo una caricia
Una mirada suya
Soy... mendigo
Solo soy un mendigo
De sus decisiones
Mendigo
De mis emociones
Rendido a la aventura de su boca
Rendido como un loco enamorado
Solo soy un mendigo
De sus ambiciones
Mendigo
De mis tentaciones
Rendido y entregado a esta locura
Por solo una caricia
Una mirada suya
Soy... mendigo
De sus ambiciones mendigo...
De sus tentaciones rendido...
The lyrics of Raúl's song "Mendigo" deal with the theme of love and obsession. Raúl talks about how people around him have been noticing his physical changes and the changes in his behavior. They criticize him for being on the wrong track and blame his lover for leading him astray. However, Raúl confesses that he is unable to see what they see and that he feels dominated and condemned to be a beggar of her love. He reveals that he is surrendering himself to her desires and is dependent on her decisions and his own emotional temptations. He is obsessed with her and is willing to do anything to be with her, including reducing himself to a beggar.
Raúl points out that he is blinded by his own love and that he is unable to see the reality of the situation. Despite people telling him to snap out of his obsession, he feels he has no choice but to be completely devoted to his lover. He refers to himself as a beggar; this metaphorical portrayal shows how he feels at her mercy and that he has lost all power over his own life. The song conveys the empowerment and dependency that accompanies intense love and obsession.
