The Meaning Behind The Song: Consentida by Alejandro Fernández

Music has the incredible power to evoke emotions and transport us to different moments in our lives. It has the ability to make us laugh, cry, and reminisce about cherished memories. Today, I want to share with you the meaning behind a beautiful song that holds a special place in my heart: “Consentida” by Alejandro Fernández.

As I listen to the soulful melody of “Consentida,” I am reminded of a time when love had consumed my every thought and emotion. The haunting lyrics resonate with the pain and longing that often accompany a deep love that is unrequited. They speak of the sorrow and sacrifice one is willing to endure for the sake of a beloved.

Tengo tantas penas en el alma
Que al mirarte así nunca pensé
Que pudiera al fin
Otras vez volver
En un nuevo amor, mi fe

Aunque lo pague
Con el precio
De mi vida
Y aunque comprenda
Lo que tengo
Que sufrir

Puedo jurar
Que tú serás
Mi consentida
Y que a nadie
Quiero tanto
Como a tí

Haz que contigo
Mi calvario
Se haga santo
Nada me importa
Si no tengo
Ya tu amor

These verses paint a picture of a soul burdened by overwhelming grief yet still holding onto hope. The protagonist declares their unwavering devotion, vowing that their love interest will forever hold the cherished place of “consentida” in their heart. It is a declaration of love that transcends all obstacles and sacrifices, even if it means enduring suffering and pain.

As the song continues, the lyrics delve deeper into the longing for a love that seems unattainable. It speaks of a heart that will remain forever in the embrace of the beloved.

Mi corazón
Se ha de quedar
Entre tus brazos
Cuando al fin este
Cansado ya
De tanto andar

(Gracias a Carlos por esta letra)

The raw passion and vulnerability in these words resonate within me. They remind me of a time when I was willing to give my heart completely, hoping that my love would be reciprocated. Listening to “Consentida” brings back a flood of memories, both joyous and painful.
