Sin pensarlo
Rocío Jurado Lyrics

Sin pensarlo, sin pensarlo
Solo porque tú quisiste
Dije yo "bueno" a lo malo

Lo bueno que yo tenía
Es que podía pensarlo
Yo sabía lo que es bueno
Y también lo que era malo

Pero, pero, pero, pero
Pero pasaste a mi lado
Y solo porque quisiste
Lo que tú mandas, yo hago

Sin pensarlo, sin pensarlo
Con la boca y con el alma
Dije yo "bueno" a lo malo

Ahora haz de mí lo que quieras
Me tienes siempre a tu lado
Y si dices negro, negro
Y si dices blanco, blanco

Que en amor uno es quien manda
Y otro quien sigue los pases
Uno nace para dueño
Y otro nace para esclavo

Sin pensarlo, sin pensarlo
Solo porque tú quisiste
Dije yo "bueno" a lo malo
Sin pensarlo, ay sin pensarlo
Con la boca y con el alma
Dije yo "bueno" a lo malo

Ay, ay, ay, ay... ay
Ay, sin pensarlo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rocio Jurado's song Sin Pensarlo tell the story of someone who has given up their own agency and free will in a relationship, simply because their partner demanded it. They describe how, at one time, the singer had the ability to discern what was good and bad in their life, but when their partner entered the picture, everything changed. The singer gave up that ability to discern right from wrong, and allowed their partner to take complete control over them. The phrase "sin pensarlo" is repeated throughout the song, meaning "without thinking," emphasizing the idea that the singer has surrendered their autonomy and is simply living at the behest of their partner. This is a common theme in many love songs, where one partner is often portrayed as the dominant force, while the other is subservient.

The lyrics also touch on the idea that in love, one person is the master while the other is the slave. The singer suggests that they were born as the slave, while their partner was born as the master, and that they are content to play their roles in the relationship. The lyrics are poignant and impactful, as they speak to the complicated power dynamics that can exist within romantic relationships.
