Corazón herido

Los Tigres del Norte, a legendary norteño band known for their poignant storytelling and emotive music, deliver a heart-wrenching narrative in their song 'Corazón herido.' The lyrics delve into the profound pain and suffering that comes from unrequited love and emotional betrayal. The opening lines, 'NO SE DAÑA A QUIEN TE QUIERE NO / Y TODO PASA CON EL TIEMPO,' set the stage for a tale of love that defies conventional wisdom. The singer reflects on how these common sayings lose their meaning when faced with the reality of their own heartbreak.

The recurring theme of a 'wounded heart' is central to the song, symbolizing the deep emotional scars left by a loved one who causes suffering. The singer laments, 'PORQUE TE AMO Y TU ME HACES SUFRIR / Y PASA EL TIEMPO Y NO TE OLVIDO,' expressing the torment of loving someone who brings pain and the inability to forget them despite the passage of time. This emotional turmoil is further emphasized by the repeated wish for a 'colder heart' or a 'heart of stone,' which would presumably shield the singer from such anguish.

The song also touches on themes of self-neglect and the loss of identity in the pursuit of love. Lines like 'DESCUIDE MI VIDA VIVIENDO PARA TI / Y YA NO SE VIVIR SIN TI' highlight the singer's realization that they have neglected their own well-being and sense of self in their devotion to the other person. This realization adds another layer of sorrow, as the singer grapples with the consequences of their all-consuming love. 'Corazón herido' is a powerful exploration of the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the enduring pain of emotional wounds, masterfully conveyed through the evocative lyrics and soulful performance of Los Tigres del Norte.
