Ten Cuidado Con El Corazon

Alejandra Guzmán's "Ten Cuidado Con El Corazon" is a poignant song that serves as a warning about the dangers of being emotionally vulnerable in a harsh and materialistic world. The lyrics paint a picture of an individual who is angelic or demonic, suggesting a duality in nature, and who is descending into a world that is not as pure as the one they come from. The repeated phrase 'no, no llores asi' (no, don't cry like that) implies a sense of empathy and a desire to comfort someone who is experiencing pain or sorrow.

The chorus, 'Ten cuidado con el corazon' (Be careful with the heart), is a cautionary refrain advising the listener to protect their heart and their innocence ('con las alas y con todo lo demas' - with the wings and with everything else) in a world that can be unforgiving and even cruel. The song suggests that if one is not careful, they can be metaphorically 'plucked' or taken advantage of. Guzmán's lyrics are a metaphor for the loss of innocence and the need for self-preservation in a world that can be indifferent to one's emotional well-being.

The song's narrative is further enriched by the imagery of a dark, obscure city and the act of 'Jugandome la piel' (risking my skin), which indicates a willingness to take risks to protect or guide someone through the challenges they face. Alejandra Guzmán, known for her powerful voice and rock-influenced style, delivers the message with a blend of tenderness and urgency, emphasizing the importance of guarding one's heart against the potential pitfalls of the material world.
