Tormento translates to "torment" or "anguish." It's a strong, evocative word that conveys deep suffering and emotional pain.
In this song, the singer uses it to describe the intense longing and heartache he feels for a lost love. He sings, "Pongamos remedio a este tormento" (Let's remedy this torment), highlighting his desire to end the emotional pain caused by their separation. This word captures the dramatic and passionate essence of the song's theme of enduring love and loss.
Have you ever regretted not telling someone how you feel? José Felipe Mejía's "Te Extraño Más Y Más (En Vivo)" is a powerful reminder to speak your heart before it's too late. He kicks off the song with some blunt advice: "cuando amen a una persona díganselo lo más pronto posible" [when you love someone, tell them as soon as possible] because someone else, perhaps with less love but more courage, might say it first. And then you're left with a lifetime of missing them.
This song is a raw, emotional journey of longing. The singer describes a "copa vacía en mi alma" [empty cup in my soul] and a "te extraño colgado en mi pecho" [I miss you hanging in my chest], showing just how deeply this regret has settled in. He's haunted by memories: "tu recuerdo me sigue los pasos" [your memory follows my steps] and he can even "escucho a mi lado" [hear next to me] her smile. He carries her gaze with him, just in case he feels lost. He desperately misses her lips, her voice, and all the sweet moments they shared. He wants to "pongamos remedio a este tormento" [let's remedy this torment] and declare his love, knowing "lo sabe Dios" [God knows it]. This song is a heartfelt plea to not let fear keep you from expressing your love, because the alternative is a lonely, longing heart.
