Bendigo means "I bless" and comes from the verb bendecir. It's a word with deep emotional and spiritual connotations, not commonly found in everyday pop songs.
In this song, the singer uses it in a poignant way, saying, "el que te quiere lo bendigo" (I bless the one who loves you). This shows a profound level of selflessness and love, where he wishes happiness for his beloved even if it's with someone else. It's a powerful expression of unconditional love.
This song, "Aunque No Sea Conmigo" [Even If It's Not With Me], is a really heartfelt and a little bit dramatic declaration of selfless love. The singer is telling someone they still deeply care for that they can take all the time they need to decide if they want to come back. He's waiting for the day they choose to return and be happy, "como antes fuimos" [like we were before].
What's truly striking is the singer's commitment to the other person's happiness, even if it means personal sacrifice. He says, "por tu felicidad a costa de la mía" [for your happiness at the cost of mine]. He even goes as far as to bless the new person in their life, stating, "el que te quiere lo bendigo" [I bless the one who loves you]. It's a powerful message of wanting the best for someone, even if that best isn't with you. Talk about putting someone else first!
