El Querendon
Rigo Tovar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

¡Oye!
¿Cómo le haces?

Y dice

A pesar de todo sigo siendo un querendón (dón, dón, dón)
Después que he tenido centenas de amores, soy un querendón (dón, dón, dón)
Para alguna gente, soy un tonto querendón (dón, dón, dón)
Pero muchas nenas, me han llamado Rigo lindo querendón (dón, dón, dón)

Psiclógicamente
Amorosamente, no he sido afectado
Porque todo, todo lo que a mí me han dado
Siempre lo he pagado con cosas de amor
Y si alguna dama expresará cosas raras de mí
Es que se ha olvidado de las noches cuando yo la estremecí (sí, sí)

Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón
Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón
Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón

Ay, mi vida
Mi amor, mi cielo
Mi todo lo demás

Psiclógicamente
Amorosamente, no he sido afectado
Porque todo, todo lo que a mí me han dado
Siempre lo he pagado con cosas de amor

Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón
Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón
Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón





Querendón, querendón, don, don
Rigo querendón

Overall Meaning

In Rigo Tovar's song "El Querendón", the singer is talking about his reputation as a "querendón", which is a term used in Mexico to describe someone who is constantly in love and seeking love. He acknowledges that despite having hundreds of loves, he is still a "querendón". He says that although some people might think of him as a foolish lover, many women have called him "Rigo lindo querendón" (Rigo, the handsome lover).


The singer sees his love life as a business transaction: everything he has received, he has paid for with love. He claims that if any woman were to speak badly about him, it's probably because she has forgotten the nights he made her tremble with passion. He repeats the chorus, "Querendón, querendón, don don, Rigo querendón", emphasizing his love-hungry status.


Overall, the song reflects the cultural phenomenon of the "querendón" in Mexico and the singer's perspective on it. It portrays love as a game of exchange, and suggests that being constantly in love, even with many different partners, can be a desirable trait.
