Te Extraño Lyrics in English by Xtreme
Conciencia translates to "conscience" or "awareness". It's a powerful word that adds a layer of psychological depth to this song about heartbreak.
In the lyrics, the singer cries out, “Pero me mata la conciencia” (But my conscience is killing me). This dramatic phrase suggests a deep inner turmoil, possibly from guilt or regret over losing his love. It’s this feeling of a "killing conscience" that makes his suffering so intense and compelling.
This song is pure, uncut bachata heartbreak! The singer is absolutely beside himself over a breakup. Time keeps passing, but he's stuck in the same place: "Queriéndote en mis brazos sin poderte tener" (Wanting you in my arms without being able to have you). He feels trapped by his own sadness and can't find a way out.
He's not being subtle about his pain, either. He's pleading directly with his ex, telling her, "Mira cómo estoy sufriendo / Me quemo por dentro por sentir tu amor" (Look how I'm suffering / I'm burning inside to feel your love). He misses everything, from holding hands to kissing her, and the knowledge that she doesn't love him anymore is destroying him. The sudden switch to English with "Oh baby why you got to be doing this to me?" feels like he's so overwhelmed he can't even find the right words in one language. It's a classic, dramatic declaration of love and loss.
