He Tenido Que llorar
Yoskar Sarante Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tanto que lo via evitado
Tanto que le pido a dios
Que no me deje sufrir
La ausensia de tu adios

Pero si es el amor
No te podria olvidar
Cadavez que pienso en ti

Me da ganas de llorar.

(Chorus)
Y tengo que llorar( tres veces)
Por que te amo
Y tengo que llorar(tres veces)
Por que te extraсo

(2nd versa)
Yo pense que con el tiempo
Me encontraria otro amor
Que me ayude olvidar
Pero no lo encuentro no

Si tu dices que regresas
Que me volveria a dar vida
Pero si dices que no

Aun sangra mas mi herida
(Chorus)

The lyrics reveal a situation where the persona tries to avoid loving someone who has left his/her life but always fails. The persona prays to God to spare him/her the agony of missing the presence of his/her lover. However, if it's genuine love, forgetting the other person is impossible. The recurring thought of the loved one makes the persona burst into tears.

The persona realizes that he/she has to cry because of his/her love for someone who is no longer present. The tears are evidence of love or missing someone. The chorus of the song reiterates the feeling of the persona: "Y tengo que llorar (tres veces)/ Porque te amo/ Y tengo que llorar (tres veces)/ Porque te extraсo." The translation of the chorus is "And I have to cry (three times)/ Because I love you/ And I have to cry (three times)/ Because I miss you."
