Tipica Novel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si me hubieras querido...
Ya me hubiera cansado, de tu querer
¿Ya ves?
Que fue tiempo perdido
El que tú has meditado, para ahora decirme que no puede ser
Pensar... que llegar a quererte,
Es creer que la muerte se pudiera evitar
Si no tengo tus besos
No! no, no me muero por eso yo ya estoy cansado de tu besar...
(De tu pesar)
(De tu pesar)
Yo no te quiero, yo no te quiero, a amar a tu fruta, conmigo nada ma.
Eh, ehh. Marcolina
Eh eh ah (De tu pesar)
Eh eh ehh Pa′ que sufra eh eh ah.
(De tu pesar)

The song "Total" by Tipica Novel is about a failed relationship where one person has reached the point of exhaustion and disappointment with the other. The opening line, "Si me hubieras querido" ("If you had loved me"), sets the tone for the entire song. The singer laments the wasted time and energy spent on this love that was never reciprocated, and now the other person has decided it's too late to make it work. The line "Pensar... que llegar a quererte, es creer que la muerte se pudiera evitar" ("To think... that loving you would be like trying to avoid death") is particularly powerful, emphasizing how futile and all-consuming this love has been.
The repeated phrase "De tu pesar" ("Of your sorrow") is a play on words, as "pesar" can mean "sorrow" or "weight." The singer is tired not only of the other person's emotional burden, but also of physically carrying the weight of their affection alone. The final lines "Yo no te quiero, yo no te quiero, a amar a tu fruta, conmigo nada ma" ("I don't want to love your fruit, with me there's nothing else") are a rejection of the other person's advances and a declaration of moving on.
