Como Te Pago

Lenier's 'Como Te Pago' is a heartfelt tribute to the unconditional love and sacrifices made by mothers. The song's title, which translates to 'How Do I Pay You,' encapsulates the central theme of the song: the artist's struggle to find a way to repay his mother for all she has done for him. The lyrics express deep gratitude and acknowledge the impossibility of ever truly compensating a mother for her love and dedication.

The song begins with a wish for the light in his mother's eyes to never fade, highlighting the importance of her presence and well-being to the artist. Lenier credits his mother as the reason for his existence in a 'crazy world' and the one who has always stood by his side. The repeated question '¿Cómo te pago?' followed by the mention of the 'nine months' spent in the womb, emphasizes the depth of his indebtedness from the very beginning of his life. This refrain serves as a powerful reminder of the lifelong bond between mother and child.

Lenier also touches on the broader theme of the varying relationships people have with their mothers. He acknowledges that some people may be physically or emotionally distant from their mothers, while he cherishes his own with profound love. The song concludes with a prayer for his mother's health and blessings, underscoring the artist's enduring love and respect. The musical style, with its rhythmic 'Mambo' beat, adds a celebratory tone to the song, inviting listeners to both reflect on the significance of maternal love and to celebrate it through dance.
