Sangre
ayala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahí escondido en el rincón de una cantina
Está llorando un hombre lágrimas de sangre
Lleva ocho días sin comer, solo tomando
Y entre sus manos un retrato está besando

Ahí escondido en el rincón de una cantina
Un hombre bueno con licor se está matando
Porque su amada se le fue con rumbo al cielo
Justo en el día en que ellos se estaban casando

¿Por qué Dios mío, te llevaste lo que amaba?
Si tu sabías que sin ella me matabas
Hoy me has dejado a padecer solo en el mundo
Ten compasión y llévame junto a mi amada

Todos lo miran como si estuviera loco
Más nadie sabe lo que su alma está sufriendo
Tan solo yo que soy hermano lo comprendo
Y entre mis brazos con dolor lo voy sufriendo

Ahí escondido en el rincón de una cantina
Un hombre bueno con licor se está matando
Porque su amada se le fue con rumbo al cielo
Justo en el día en que ellos se estaban casando

¿Por qué Dios mío, te llevaste lo que amaba?
Si tu sabías que sin ella me matabas
Hoy me has dejado a padecer solo en el mundo
Ten compasión y llévame junto a mi amada

Hoy tristemente están tocando las campañas
Él ya se ha ido a reunirse con su amada




Le dijo a Dios con su sonrisa y mucha calma
Le dije adiós te extrañaré hermano del alma

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ayala's song "Sangre" paint a heartbreaking picture of a man who is drowning in sorrow and despair at the loss of his beloved. The man is depicted hiding in a corner of a cantina, shedding tears of blood, consumed by grief and self-destructive behavior. His state of mind is evident as he hasn't eaten in eight days, only finding solace in alcohol and clutching a portrait of his lost love.


The deep-rooted pain and anguish the man is experiencing stem from the fact that his beloved has passed away or left him, perhaps tragically on the day of their planned wedding. The lyrics convey his torment at the cruel twist of fate that has torn his world asunder, leaving him to suffer the unbearable agony of being alone in a world that now seems devoid of meaning without his love.


The man's desperate plea to God further showcases his profound sense of loss and longing to be reunited with his beloved. He questions why his love was taken from him, expressing the sentiment that life without her feels like a slow and agonizing death. His supplication to be taken to be with his love reflects his utter devastation and inability to bear the weight of his grief and loneliness.


Despite the onlookers perceiving him as mad or irrational, the singer, who reveals themselves as the man's brother, is the only one who truly understands the depth of his suffering. The singer extends compassionate support, holding the man in their arms as he grapples with the unbearable weight of his emotions and the devastating void left by his lost love. The poignant imagery and emotional intensity of the lyrics convey a sense of profound loss, lament, and the enduring bond of love that transcends even death, culminating in a poignant farewell as the man departs to be reunited with his beloved in the afterlife.
