Ponle Precio

Vicente Fernández's song 'Ponle Precio' delves into the heart-wrenching experience of unrequited love. The lyrics express the deep affection the narrator feels for someone who does not reciprocate his feelings. He is left yearning for a love that remains indifferent to his emotions, highlighting the pain of being ignored and the longing for a connection that seems unattainable. The repeated declaration of 'Te quiero' underscores the sincerity and intensity of his love, which is met with coldness and indifference.

The song further explores the emotional turmoil of being abandoned by someone who once made promises of love. The narrator is left in a state of sadness and despair, missing the kisses and affection that he so deeply desires. This sense of abandonment and the resulting loneliness are palpable, painting a vivid picture of the emotional void left by the absence of the loved one. The lyrics poignantly capture the essence of longing and the profound impact of unfulfilled love on the human spirit.

In the chorus, the narrator makes a desperate plea, asking the object of his affection to 'Ponle precio a tu cariño' (Put a price on your love). This metaphorical expression signifies his willingness to give up everything, even if it means living in poverty, just to be loved in return. It reflects the idea that true love is priceless and worth any sacrifice. The contrast between the willingness to give the world and the acceptance of being consumed by sadness if forgotten, encapsulates the extremes of love and loss. Vicente Fernández's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Ponle Precio' a powerful exploration of the depths of unrequited love and the sacrifices one is willing to make for it.
