Mandale Una Carta
Cornelio Reyna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mándale una carta a tu marido
Dile que ya no vas a volver
Dile que vas a vivir conmigo
Dile que se busque otra mujer
Dile que tienes un hijo mío
Que tan sólo yo podré querer

Dile que te urge divorciarte

Porque de mi lado no te irás
Dile, serás libre para siempre
Para que te vuelvas a casar
Dile que jamás vas a olvidarlo
Dile que conmigo morirás

Mándale una carta a tu marido, pero ya
Dile que te quiero y que te doy felicidad
Dile que te adoro con el alma y en verdad
Dile que en tu mente siempre, siempre, vivirá

Mándasela
Mándasela, ¡pero ya!

Dile que te urge divorciarte
Porque de mi lado no te irás
Dile, serás libre para siempre
Para que te vuelvas a casar
Dile que jamás vas a olvidarlo
Dile que conmigo morirás

Mándale una carta a tu marido, pero ya
Dile que te quiero y que te doy felicidad

Dile que te adoro con el alma y en verdad
Y dile que en tu mente siempre, siempre, vivirá


Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cornelio Reyna's song "Mándale Una Carta" depict a man urging his lover to write a letter to her husband. The letter should inform him that she won't be returning to him and that she'll be living with the man singing the song. The singer wants her to tell her husband that she has a child with him and that he is the only one capable of loving the child. He wants her to ask for a divorce since she won't leave his side and he promises to give her the freedom to remarry. The singer insists that she should tell her husband that she'll never forget him but she'll die with the singer.


The song expresses a strong desire for the singer's lover to leave her current husband and be with him. He wants her to make sure her husband knows that she has found true love, and that he is the only one that can make her happy. Despite the song's passionate plea to the lover, it is also filled with sadness and desperation. The singer knows that their love is not accepted by society, and there will be no hope for their relationship unless she divorces her husband.
