Tania Libertad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me amenaces
Cuando estés decidido a buscar otra vida
Pues agarra tu rumbo y véte
Pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
Ya estás grandecito, ya entiendes la vida
Ya sabes lo que haces
Porque estás que te vas
Y te vas, y te vas, y te vas
Y te vas, y te vas, y no te has ido
Y yo estoy esperando tu amor
Esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
O esperando tu olvido
No me amenaces, no me amenaces
Si ya fue tu destino olvidar mi cariño
Pues agarra tu rumbo y véte
Pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
Ya juega tu suerte, ahí traes la baraja
Yo tengo los ases
Porque estás que te vas y te vas
Y te vas, y te vas, y te vas
Y te vas, y no te has ido
Y yo estoy esperando tu amor
Esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
O esperando tu olvido
No me amenaces, no me amenaces

She encourages her lover to take control of his own life and to not use her as a way to justify his decisions. In the end, she asserts that she holds the winning hand and that he should play his own luck.
