El ultimo beso
Rayito Colombiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por qué se fue y por qué murió...
Íbamos los dos al anochecer
oscurecía y no podía ver,
yo manejaba iba a mas de cien
prendí las luces para leer,
había un letrero de desviación
el cual pasamos sin precaución,
el carro volcó y hasta el fondo fue a dar...
Por qué se fue y por qué murió?
Por qué el señor me la quito?
Se ha ido al cielo y para poder ir yo
debo también ser bueno para estar
con mi amor.
Al vueltas dar yo me salí
por un momento no supe de mi,
al despertar hacia al carro corrí
y aun con vida la pude hallar,
al verme lloro, me dijo; amor,
halla te espero donde esta Dios
el ha querido separarnos hoy
abrazame fuerte porque me voy
al fin la abracé y al besarla se sonrió,
y después de un suspriro en mis brazos
quedó...
Por qué se fue y por qué murió?
Por qué el señor me la quito?
Se ha ido al cielo y para poder ir yo
debo también ser bueno para estar
con mi amor.
Wohhhhhhhh, Wohhhhooo...
Wohhhhhhhh, Wohhhhooo...
Wohhhhhhhh, Wohhhhooo...
Wohhhhhhhh, Wohhhhooo...
Woohh!
The lyrics to Rayito Colombiano's song El Último Beso tell the story of a tragic car accident that resulted in the death of the singer's loved one. The song begins with the singer expressing how much he misses his love and questioning why she had to leave and why she had to die. He then describes how they were driving together at dusk, and it was getting dark, making it hard to see. He was driving at a high speed when he turned on the lights to read a sign for a turn-off that they missed. It was too late when they tried to brake, and the car overturned and crashed. The singer laments the loss of his love and how he must also be good to join her in heaven. He then goes on to describe the moments after the accident when he woke up disoriented, ran to the car, and found his love still alive. But she tells him that it's time for her to go to heaven, and after he hugs and kisses her, she passes away in his arms.
The lyrics are a devastating account of a tragic accident that resulted in the loss of a loved one. The song's emotional intensity is heightened by Rayito Colombiano's impassioned delivery and the use of a slow, mournful melody. The lyrics depict the singer's struggle to come to terms with his loss and the inevitability of death. They offer a powerful reminder of how precious and fragile life is and how important it is to cherish the people we love.
