Pobre Corazón Lyrics in English Esteman

Home / Lyrics Translation / Esteman / Pobre Corazón

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pobre Corazón by Esteman from Spanish to English.

This poor heart is dead from pain

It can't take much more

If I write this song it's because something happened to me

That has me adrift

Chorus 1

As time passes I understand

That my wounds go away

I see them but I don't feel them

You marked me and you're not here anymore

And I can't take anymore

Something hurt me

I wait as I wake up to heal

Verse 1

This poor heart neither so poor nor in pain

It just wants to beat

If I sing this song I do it for the feeling

Of healing myself in the celebration

Chorus 2

As time passes I understand

That my wounds go away

I see them but I don't feel them

You marked me and you're not here anymore

And I can't take anymore

Something hurt me

I wait as I wake up

And I wait while I celebrate to heal

Verse 2

This poor heart with its house and its cane

It just wants to beat

Like a song says

That's danced without a lesson and it's true

Something hurt me

I wait as I wake up

And I sing while I celebrate

That you're not here anymore

SONG MEANING

Pobre Corazón is Esteman’s bittersweet confession of a heart that has been bruised but refuses to stop beating. The Colombian singer opens the song admitting that his “poor heart” is dead with pain, yet each lyric shows him inching from sorrow to self-repair. As time passes, he notices the wounds fading, even if the memories still leave a mark. The track captures that fragile moment when you are stuck between heartbreak and healing, drifting through the day while waiting for the scars to seal.

What turns the song into a celebration is Esteman’s determination to transform hurt into rhythm. He sings, dances, and festeja — celebrates — because music is his medicine. Instead of wallowing, he chooses to let the beat make his heart palpitar again. By the final chorus, the pain has become a reason to move, proving that even a “poor heart” can throw its own party, cane in hand, house intact, ready to love life once more.
