Amarga Navidad Lyrics in English by Jenni Rivera
Arrepentido means "regretful" or "repentant." It's a strong emotional word that captures a deep sense of remorse.
In "Amarga Navidad," Jenni Rivera sings about her hope that her lover will eventually be arrepentido for leaving her. This word is key to the song's theme of heartbreak and the desire for the one who caused the pain to eventually feel it themselves.
Jenni Rivera's "Amarga Navidad" [Bitter Christmas] is a powerful breakup anthem set during the holidays. Our singer is ready for a clean break, telling her lover, "Acaba de una vez, de un solo golpe" [End it once and for all, with one blow]. She'd rather get it over with quickly than suffer a slow, drawn-out goodbye.
She actually chooses December for the breakup, saying, "Diciembre me gustó pa' que te vayas" [I liked December for you to leave]. She wants his "cruel adiós" [cruel goodbye] to be her Christmas present, so she doesn't have to start the new year with a love that's causing her so much pain. It's a bold move, and she's confident he'll regret it later, realizing he left behind what he loved most. Talk about a holiday twist!
