Lastime Su Inocencia

Luis Mateus' song "Lastime Su Inocencia" is a poignant exploration of regret, love, and the consequences of betrayal. The lyrics tell the story of a man who realizes too late the depth of his love for a woman he has wronged. He reflects on how she brought joy and warmth into his life, transforming his sadness into happiness and his winter into spring. However, he acknowledges that he took advantage of her innocence, filling her life with lies and ultimately losing her trust and love.

The song delves deeply into the man's remorse and the emotional torment he experiences as a result of his actions. He describes how she prayed for him and filled his soul with goodwill, while he, in contrast, deceived her and built a fragile, paper-thin castle of lies. His realization of true love comes only after he has lost her, and now he is left with nothing but dreams of her touch and the pain of solitude.

The recurring lines, "Ahora quien podrá quitarle las espinas a mi piel" (Now who can remove the thorns from my skin) and "Ahora quien podrá decirle que me muero en soledad" (Now who can tell her that I am dying in loneliness), emphasize his deep sense of loss and longing for redemption. He wishes he could undo the hurt he caused and bring back her happiness. The song captures the essence of regret and the longing for forgiveness, as the man hopes for a chance to make amends and rekindle the love he once took for granted.
