La quiero y es ajena
Teodoro Reyes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

yo no tengo suerte soy un desdichado de una mujer ajena estoy enamorado imposible es el que ella me quiera no puede amarme por que ella es ajena

dicen mis amigos que yo soy llorón yo soy el que siento en el corazón; cuando ella me mira con esos ojazos siento en todo el cuerpo como un corrientazo.

Estoy bebiendo aquí solo por ella hay si y no me marchare hasta no verla aquí que desencanto cruel este que siento en mi, pero de verla pasar ya estoy contento.

a pesar de todo algo por mi siente por que ella me mira y como que se duerme ella a mi me dice no te desespere llévame al pasito negro que lo tuyo viene.

y mientras tanto yo sigo sufriendo aquí y para soportar sigo bebiendo así y ella al verme tomar se desespera y ella me dice amor por Dios no beba.

a pesar de todo algo por mi siente por que ella me mira y como que se duerme ella a mi me dice no te desespere llévame al pasito negro que lo tuyo viene.

y mientras tanto yo sigo sufriendo así y para soportar sigo bebiendo aquí y ella al verme tomar se desespera y ella me dice amor por Dios no beba.

Overall Meaning

Teodoro Reyes's song La quiero y es ajena speaks of unrequited love towards a woman who is already taken. The singer states that he has no luck and is unfortunate to have fallen in love with a woman who belongs to someone else. He believes it to be impossible for her to feel the same way towards him since she is already committed to another man. Despite this, he continues to long for her and feels a strong physical reaction when she looks at him with her beautiful eyes.

The singer relies on alcohol to cope with his seemingly hopeless situation. He drinks alone, waiting for her to come to him. Even just seeing her pass by brings him a sense of contentment. However, she is aware of his drinking and pleads with him to stop. She tells him that she feels something for him and asks him to take her to dance the "pasito negro" - a traditional Dominican dance.

The lyrics show a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman and despite the obvious obstacles that faces them, he cannot let go of his feelings for her. He understands that she is off-limits and the situation is hopeless, but he cannot help but hope that she sees something in him that could possibly change her mind.

Overall, the song conveys themes of love, heartbreak, and unrequited love. It depicts the pain and frustration that come with loving someone who is already taken, yet at the same time, it also shows the persistence and resilience of the human heart.
