Amor Propio Lyrics in English by Grupo Frontera
Amor propio translates to "self-love" or "self-respect". It's a powerful phrase that represents the core message of this emotional song.
After singing about the pain of a breakup and begging for his ex's affection, the singer has a profound realization. He concludes that the real problem isn't the lack of her love, but his own lack of amor propio. This turning point makes it a very memorable and valuable phrase to learn.
Ever wished you could go back in time and warn yourself not to fall for someone? That's the whole mood of this song by Grupo Frontera. The singer imagines telling his past self, "que no se enamore" [don't fall in love], and to stop sending flowers and saying sweet things. He's dealing with a heartbreak so bad he says "no hay doctores / Pa' este mal de amores" [there are no doctors / for this lovesickness]. He even wishes he could erase the memory of the day they met, because she promised forever and then disappeared.
But the song isn't just about sadness, it's about a tough realization. He was loyal, "mendigándote amor" [begging you for love], while he saw her with someone new, "dando besos en público" [giving kisses in public]. Seeing that hurt, but he says, "aún así no te odio" [even so, I don't hate you]. The real problem, he figures out, isn't that he's missing her. The final line says it all: "No es que me falte tu amor / Es que me falta amor propio" [It's not that I'm missing your love / It's that I'm missing self-love].
