A Pesar De Todo
Rocio Jurado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aunque este organizandome la vida
Aunque haga que reniegue de mi misma
Vuelvo a ti.
A pesar de todo,
Aunque valla enloqueciendo día a día,
Aunque hayas congelado la sonrisa,
(estribillo)
Porque tú
Eras parte de mi misma,
Eres fértil y fé del prisma
Que culminan mis locuras.
Eres tú, tú a pesar de todo
Tú por encima del amor,
El que rie de si mismo
Por el borde del abismo.
Mientras yo, yo a pesar de todo
Yo por encima del dolor,
Voy contado primaveras
Esperando que me quieras.
A pesar de todo,
Aunque me hayas engañado tantas veces,
Aunque siendo infiel parece que te creces
Regreso a ti.
A pesar de todo,
Aunque te hayas apropiado mi alegría
Sólo sé que soy feliz cuando me miras.
Soy de ti.
Rocio Jurado's song "A Pesar De Todo" expresses a complicated and tumultuous relationship that endures despite the difficult circumstances. The opening lines of the song, "A pesar de todo, aunque este organizandome la vida, aunque haga que reniegue de mi misma, vuelvo a ti," suggest that the singer is struggling to maintain her independence while still feeling drawn to her partner. She acknowledges that her attempts to "organize [her] life" often feel hopeless, and that her partner's presence can make her feel like she is going against herself. However, she continues to "return" to him, even in the face of these challenges.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to reflect on the ways in which her partner affects her life. Despite the difficulties they have faced, she "cre[ates] in [him] a belief" and feels that he is an important part of her life, as she sings in the chorus: "Porque tú eras parte de mi misma, eres fértil y fé del prisma que culminan mis locuras. Eres tú, tú a pesar de todo, tú por encima del amor, el que rie de si mismo por el borde del abismo." She sees him as a key part of her life, someone who she cannot let go of despite everything they have been through.
Overall, "A Pesar De Todo" is a powerful testament to the complexities of relationships and the ways in which they can endure despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The song suggests that even when things get difficult, it is possible to "return" to the people we love and to find a way to move forward together.
