Perdón Señora Lyrics in English by Frankie Ruiz
Dueño literally translates to "owner" or "master." While it might sound possessive today, in the context of classic romantic ballads, it's a powerful way to express absolute devotion and a desire to belong to someone completely.
In this passionate salsa track, the singer confesses a forbidden love, singing "Perdón si en sueños me he atrevido a ser su dueño" (Forgive me if in dreams I have dared to be your master). Using this bold word reveals the depth of his fantasy: to break all social rules and be with the woman he loves, even if it's only in his dreams.
Okay, get ready for some serious drama in this salsa classic! The singer starts by making a very intense confession to an older woman, a "señora." He knows this is going to be a shock, telling her, "Tal vez no piense señora que estoy en mi juicio" [Perhaps, ma'am, you don't think I'm in my right mind]. He insists he's not trying to be disrespectful and that she shouldn't feel guilty for his feelings, which is a pretty bold way to begin!
Then comes the huge plot twist. Just when you (and she) probably think he's about to confess his love for her daughter, he completely flips the script. He says, "No es por su hija por quien pierdo los sentidos / Por usted es quien no vivo de hace tiempo ya" [It's not for your daughter that I'm losing my senses / It's for you that I haven't been living for a long time now]. He's in love with the mother! He argues that "Para el amor no hay edades" [For love there are no ages] and that he'd rather risk telling her the truth than keep this secret. It's a song about a forbidden, unexpected love, delivered with maximum passion.
