If you are yearning for love that will never be again and need some songs to listen to while you drive with your windows down, music on full blast, take a look at this mix of contemporary and classic yearning songs made by Mexican artists.
It’s in our blood to yearn as Mexicans, so all of these artists encapsulate the feeling of being heartbroken, sad and wanting to reminisce on what will never be again.
Junior H – “LAS NOCHES”
The trumpet’s tune at the beginning of this song is one of the best things about it, besides the deeper meaning.
It is about waiting for a person you can’t stop thinking about to the point where it gets exhausting because they don’t think about you the same way, waiting for a person who will never change, no matter how much you wish they would. It is about reminiscing on nights and memories that just won’t leave you.
Bobby Pulido – “Desvelado”
This song is about falling in love with someone at first sight, even though you don’t know them. You’re so in love, you’re restless.
It’s about the fact that you wish to have this person so badly, but you can’t, so you can’t sleep. They’re the star you look for in the sky.
This song is widely known among the older generation of Latinos because it’s one of the older songs on this list; it was released in 1995 and was a major hit.
Los Rieleros Del Norte – “El Columpio”
“El Columpio” is about telling someone countless times not to play with your heart or feed you lies, or else they would be left all alone and lost. You tell this person to think very carefully because life is like a swing; when it’s up, everything feels amazing, but when it falls, everything hurts so badly.
The other person didn’t listen though, so both parties are left heartbroken. This is one of the most classic Mexican heartbroken bangers.
Peso Pluma, Tito Double P – “daño”
One of Peso Pluma’s newest gut-wrenching songs is about the person you love wanting nothing to do with you anymore. However, you can’t get over it, and you still want them by your side. You love them, even though they cause you so much pain. It’s about wanting that person to come back to you, without caring about the pain they bring you.
Aces De La H, Petroleros Del Bravo – “Asi Fue”
“Asi Fue” is about being sorry for making your ex partner cry, sorry for making them suffer and sorry for loving someone else. You’ve fallen in love with someone new and forgotten the person of the past.
It talks about how the first relationship ended because of the other person, who left them without saying a word. This leaves the singer crying like they never had before, even though they were still madly in love. The first love never came back, and that’s how it all ended.
Alta Consigna – “Ebrio de Amor”
Another popular heartbroken banda song, “Ebrio de Amor” is about being drunk on love from your ex partner and unable to find that same attraction in someone else. No one else competes with the intoxication you get from them.
You try to find the same feeling with someone else, but you just can’t, no matter how much you wish you did.
Bobby Pulido – “Se Murió De Amor”
Have you ever felt like you were dying of love and heartache? Then this is the song for you. The theme around “Se Murió de Amor” is when you die, you want people to say you died of love.
It’s about missing someone so badly and how happy you were with them, but now there’s only pain now that they’re gone. You just want to be with that person so badly, even if all you will feel is pain.
Peso Pluma – “LUNA”
This song talks about wanting the moon to tell the person they love that they still love them. Asking the moon to always protect the other person, since they themselves cannot be there.
You’ve accepted the fact the other person has moved on, but you know they’ll never forget the memories. You may not be able to see them again, but the moon will always see them and can be there for them.
Luis Miguel – “La Mentira”
“La Mentira” is a romantic song about reminding the person you fancy that you know they love you, regardless of what they say. It’s a lie and impossible that you aren’t the love of their life, too; your love is sealed. Even though they may have forgotten that fact when they left you, you will never forget.
