No Es Para Tanto Lyrics in English by Los Pescadores del Rio Conchos
Caprichos translates to "whims" or "impulses." It's an interesting word because it describes actions or desires that are fleeting and not deeply rooted, often implying a lack of seriousness or commitment.
In the context of the song, the singer uses caprichos to downplay the past relationship, suggesting that what they shared was merely a series of passing fancies rather than true love. This word choice adds a layer of emotional detachment and helps the listener understand the casual nature of the relationship being described.
Have you ever had one of those almost-relationships that just didn't quite take off? Los Pescadores del Rio Conchos totally get it in "No Es Para Tanto" [It's Not That Big a Deal]. This song is all about looking back at a connection that wasn't really love, even if there were some kisses involved. They're pretty blunt about it, saying, "no estuvo muchos besos pero nunca nos quisimos" [there weren't many kisses but we never loved each other].
It's a really honest take on moving on. The singer tells the other person not to cry, advising them, "es mejor que te enamores" [it's better that you fall in love] with someone else. They even call what they had "caprichos" [whims or fancies] because, for them, true love is something much different. It's a great song for realizing that sometimes, what you thought was a big deal, really isn't, and it's okay to just let go and move forward.
