Entre Dos Ríos Lyrics in English by Pepe Aguilar
Prisioneros translates to "prisoners". It's an evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of being trapped or confined.
In "Entre Dos Ríos," Pepe Aguilar uses this word to describe the shared predicament of two lovers. He sings, "Prisioneros de esto fuimos los dos" (We were both prisoners of this), suggesting that both individuals are caught in a situation or a relationship from which they cannot easily escape, highlighting a complex and perhaps fated connection.
Pepe Aguilar sings a quiet confession here, admitting he never was "tan bueno como lo prometi" [as good as I promised]. Instead of dressing up the failure, the lyrics offer a direct apology - "perdon, por todo todo lo que nunca yo te di" [forgiveness, for everything I never gave you] - then hand the other person the choice to walk away or "ensename a vivir sin ti" [teach me to live without you]. A slow acoustic ballad built around owning a mistake without excuses.
