Te Devuelvo Tu Anillito Lyrics in English by Corazon Serrano
Anillito is the diminutive form of anillo (ring), meaning "little ring." Diminutives in Spanish often add a sense of endearment, smallness, or sometimes even pity or irony.
In this song, the singer is returning a "little ring," symbolizing a broken engagement or a relationship that didn't last. The use of the diminutive anillito adds a touch of bittersweetness, perhaps highlighting the smallness of the object compared to the weight of the broken promise, or the youth and naivety of the couple when they made the commitment.
This song is a sassy breakup anthem from Corazon Serrano! Our singer is definitely over it and ready to move on. She starts by remembering a time when she and her partner were talking about getting married, saying, "ahora hasta la muerte amarnos" [now, to love each other until death]. They even decided to get married, but it seems things went south pretty quickly.
She's returning an engagement ring, declaring, "no quiero más bonito día de reina la que me devuelvan con dinero porque tú me tres son las que no quiero más dormido" [I don't want a prettier queen's day that they return to me with money because you are the three that I don't want anymore asleep]. It's a pretty blunt way of saying she's done! She doesn't want to see him, or even think about marriage anymore, shouting, "no quiero ver ni adiós al matrimonio" [I don't even want to say goodbye to marriage]. It sounds like she's had enough of this relationship and is ready to close that chapter for good.
