Rocío Dúrcal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mírame y dime por última vez,
Que cruel es la vida, que triste es,
Pensar que nos amamos y
Que ya no puede ser.
Amor te lo ruego,
Júrame que no te arrepientes de mí,
Que no podrán quitarte
Lo que somos, lo que fuimos los dos.
Adiós amor, adiós,
Adiós amor, adiós.
Cuando llegaste a mi nido,
Eras solo un ciervo herido,
Al que cure con amor.
Cuando cruzaste mi puerta,
Reviviste un alma muerta
Y eso nunca lo podremos olvidar
Ni tú ni yo.
Amor se prudente, cuídate
Que tú no mereces sufrir
Que el cielo se abra para ti
Y no te falte nunca lo que tanto
Yo pedí.
Amor no permitas tú jamás
Que borren mi nombre de ti
Y así si algún día te falta amor
Me llamas y seremos
Lo que somos, lo que fuimos los dos.
Adiós amor, adiós,
Adiós amor, adiós.
Cuando llegaste a mi nido,
Eras solo un ciervo herido,
Al que cure con amor.
Cuando cruzaste mi puerta,
Reviviste un alma muerta
Y eso nunca lo podremos olvidar
Ni tú ni yo.
Adiós amor, adiós,
Adiós amor, adiós.
Adiós amor, adiós,
Adiós amor, adiós...
In Rocío Dúrcal's song Adios, she expresses the pain and heartbreak that comes with a love that is no longer feasible or allowed to exist. The opening lines, "Amor ya es la hora, mírame y dime por última vez, que cruel es la vida, que triste es, pensar que nos amamos y que ya no puede ser," set the tone for the entire song, which is about saying goodbye to a lover for the final time. The sad realization of the reality of their love being doomed is setting in, and the singer is coming to terms with the brutal ending they must face. The second verse, "Cuando llegaste a mi nido, eras solo un ciervo herido, al que cure con amor... cuando cruzaste mi puerta, reviviste un alma muerta, y eso nunca lo podremos olvidar ni tú ni yo," speaks to how the singer's love healed their partner and brought them back to life, but that does not change the fact that they must now part ways.
The chorus repeats the phrase "adiós amor" four times, emphasizing the finality and sorrow in the separation. The third verse, "Amor se prudente, cuídate que tú no mereces sufrir... amor no permitas tú jamás que borren mi nombre de ti," shows the singer's concern for their partner's well-being and their desire for them to move on and find happiness in the future. However, they also express the hope that their love will be remembered and cherished, and that if their partner ever feels alone, they can call on the memories of what they once had.
