Hombre No Muere De Pena
Teodoro Reyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oye
Suelten ciudades, cáiganme atrás
Que Teodoro sigue suelto, mamá

Anoche me amargué
Con una herida en el pecho me acosté
La noche entera despierto me pasé
Yo no sé qué me pasó anoche
Que la vi, yo le hablé y me miró
Como el que no me conoce y sufrí

Ella clavó su mirada en mí
Y fue como una puñalada que sentí
Sentí un dolor en el alma
Y el corazón me sangraba a mí

Hoy yo sé
Que hombre no muere de pena ni de amor
Que yo no me morí anoche de dolor
Cuando a mi mami abrazada la vi
Y de maldad lo besaba frente a mí

Yo quería tener dos alas y volar
Para no ver a mi amada con mi rival

Anoche me amargué
Con una herida en el pecho me acosté
La noche entera despierto me pasé

Y, ¿cómo yo me dormía?
Si durmiendo los veía besarse
Creí que me desmayaba al mirar
Mi mami dándole un beso a mi rival

Y pensé qué maldades que yo he hecho
Que me paga con desprecio
Lo que la hice feliz

Oye
Deja que voy, 'Bertico
Pa' que nadie me amarre
Porque todos saben que se soltó Teodoro

Anoche me amargué
Con una herida en el pecho me acosté
La noche entera despierto me pasé

Y, ¿cómo yo me dormía?
Si durmiendo los veía besarse
Creí que me desmayaba al mirar
Mi mami dándole un beso a mi rival

Y pensé qué maldades que yo he hecho




Que me paga con desprecio
Lo que la hice feliz

Overall Meaning

The song "Hombre No Muere De Pena" by Teodoro Reyes revolves around a heartbroken man who is deeply hurt after witnessing his mother kissing his rival. The opening lines, "suelten ciudades, cáiganme atrás, que Teodoro sigue suelto, mamá" suggests that the singer is ready to take on anyone who tries to stop him from expressing his emotions. He confesses to having spent the whole night awake with a wound in his chest, unable to sleep or forget the painful incident that occurred earlier.


Teodoro then describes his encounter with the woman who caused him heartache, where he tried to communicate with her but received nothing in return. The pain was so intense that he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, and he couldn't help but feel like his soul was in agony. However, as the song progresses, Teodoro comes to the realization that a man does not die from heartache or love, and although it hurts, he is not going to let it destroy him. He ends the song by admitting to the wrongs he has done in the past, and how his actions have led him to face the consequences of heartache and despair.
