Cuando Te Vi
Vicentico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando te vi
Quede fuera de mi
Y nunca regrese
Al hombre que yo fui
Y aunque pelee
Por no entregarme entero a tus embrujos
Ya no soy nada y nada queda de mi

Si es mejor, si es peor ya no me importa
Ya no escucho ni tampoco puedo ver
Ya no existo no soy nada y ya nadie me responde
Soy una nube que va desaparecer

Cuando te vi
Quede fuera de mi
Y nunca regrese
Al hombre que yo fui
Y aunque pelie

Por no entregarme entero a tus embrujos
Ya no soy nada y nada queda de mi

Overall Meaning

The song "Cuando Te Vi" by Vicentico is a heart-wrenching composition that explores the deep impact of love on one's identity. The lyrics describe how the singer is unable to resist the enchantment of the person he falls in love with, and how this experience changes him completely. The metaphor of becoming a cloud that disappears in the sky symbolizes the loss of self and the feeling of insignificance that comes with falling in love.

The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and resignation that is characteristic of the phenomenon of losing oneself in love. The singer is torn between fighting against the force of love and surrendering to it completely. The chorus, "Cuando te vi, quede fuera de mi, y nunca regrese al hombre que yo fui," encapsulates this struggle perfectly. The repeated use of the phrase "Ya no soy nada y nada queda de mi" (I am nothing, and nothing remains of me) emphasizes the profound transformation that love brings about.
