This pain that I have deep inside me
Is due to my stubborn heart
My stubborn heart never learned
The price that you have to pay
When you fall into the net of love
Stubborn heart, stubborn heart
Why don't you listen to me?
I told you many times
That they were going to hurt you
Stubborn heart, stubborn heart
Stubborn, stubborn heart
Someday you'll learn that in love you have to accept
The good and the bad
This pain that I have deep inside me
Is due to my stubborn heart
My stubborn heart never learned
The price that you have to pay
When you fall into the net of love
Stubborn heart, stubborn heart
Why don't you listen to me?
I told you many times
That they were going to hurt you
Stubborn heart, stubborn heart
Stubborn, stubborn heart
Someday you'll learn that in love you have to accept
The good and the bad

SONG MEANING

"Terco Corazón" translates to Stubborn Heart, and that title says it all. In this spirited cumbia-pop gem, Mexico’s beloved Selena y Los Dinos give voice to the inner tug-of-war we feel when love overrides logic. The singer admits that the ache she carries "muy dentro de mí" is her own fault, because her heart refused to listen to reason. Every beat of the song is a playful-yet-poignant reminder that ignoring red flags can land us in the painful "red del amor" (the net of love).

As the chorus repeats terco, terco corazón, Selena becomes both narrator and friendly adviser, scolding her heart for not heeding her warnings: “Te dije muchas veces que te iban a lastimar.” Even so, the message is not all gloom. The closing lines promise growth: someday the heart will learn that love is a package deal, bringing lo bueno y lo malo (the good and the bad). With lively rhythms, candid lyrics, and Selena’s warm delivery, the song invites listeners to dance, reflect, and maybe forgive their own stubborn hearts.
