Lagrimas

The song 'Lágrimas' by Los Tekis is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the pain of a one-sided relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and heartache, as the narrator reflects on their intense feelings for someone who did not reciprocate their love. The opening lines, 'Nunca sabrás cuanto te quise / Nunca sabrás cuanto te amé,' which translate to 'You will never know how much I loved you / You will never know how much I loved you,' set the tone for a confession of love that went unnoticed and unreturned.

The song continues to explore the theme of lost dreams and the harsh reality of love that is not shared. The narrator reminisces about the beauty of dreaming about a future with their beloved, only to face the truth that these dreams will never materialize. The repeated lines, 'Que lindo fue soñar contigo / Una ilusión que nunca volverá,' meaning 'How beautiful it was to dream with you / An illusion that will never return,' emphasize the bittersweet nature of cherishing memories that are ultimately painful because they are grounded in a love that was never fulfilled.

In the chorus, 'Lágrimas con lágrimas lo pagarás / Todo lo que has hecho a mi corazón / Llorarás recordando,' the narrator warns that the object of their affection will one day experience the same sorrow they inflicted. This suggests a belief in poetic justice or karma, where the emotional debt will be repaid through tears. The song captures the universal experience of loving someone who doesn't love you back and the complex emotions that come with it, from deep sadness to a desire for the other person to understand the pain they've caused.
