La Historia Lyrics in English by El Mimoso Luis Antonio López
Coraje is a fascinating word because it has two seemingly opposite meanings: "anger" and "courage." This duality makes it particularly interesting and memorable.
In the context of "La Historia," the singer uses coraje to describe the anger or resentment he feels when his former lover tries to make him jealous. He sings, "Es lo que dices para que a mí me dé Coraje," meaning "That's what you say to make me feel anger/resentment." This usage highlights the emotional intensity of the song and the complex feelings involved in a breakup.
Have you ever been in a relationship where your ex just can't let go? That's exactly what El Mimoso is singing about in "La Historia"! He's convinced his former love is only with someone new to make him jealous and to try and forget him. He hears her saying things like she's "entrega a él porque lo amas y porque a mí ya me olvidaste" [given herself to him because she loves him and because she's already forgotten me], but he's not buying it for a second.
He's so sure she's just pretending, using this new person "solamente para olvidarte de mí" [only to forget about me]. He even reminds her, and everyone else, that "en la historia de tu vida, todo el mundo sabe bien que fuiste mía y que a nadie has amado como a mí" [in the story of your life, everyone knows well that you were mine and that you haven't loved anyone like me]. It's a pretty bold claim, and you can almost feel his frustration and a bit of a bruised ego coming through in every line!
