Alex Campos - Perdóname Lyrics
Lyrics
Perdóname Dios mío te suplico
Sabiendo lo que hacía te falle,
Mi rostro oculté de tu presencia.
Hoy siento la vergüenza de mí ayer
Mi mundo desde entonces se ha perdido,
Te ruego que me vuelva a aceptar
Recíbeme en tus brazos te suplico
Nunca de tu amor me he de soltar.
Hoy vuelvo otra vez y me postró a tus pies
Te pido por favor Oye mi canto.
Sé que perdí la fe y deje yo de creer
Mis días se apagaron y lloraron,
Aunque yo me perdí tu amor me persiguió
Que viste tú en mí para amarme tanto.
Encuentro que tu amor hoy me perdona
Hoy vuelvo a la esencia de mi ser
Tu vida, entregaste en recompensa,
Hoy vivo por tu amor volví a nacer.
Hoy vuelvo otra vez y me postró a tus pies
Te pido por favor Oye mi Canto.
Sé que perdí la fe y deje ya de creer
Mis días se apagaron y lloraron
Mi voz levantaré de Cristo cantaré,
Aunque crean de mí un lo contrario.
Aunque yo me perdí tu amor me persiguió
Que viste tú en mí para amarme tanto...

Meaning & Inspiration
Alex Campos's "Perdóname," released as part of his 2016 album *Momentos*, is a profound exploration of repentance and reconciliation with God, delivered with an earnest sincerity that resonates deeply. The song's narrative centers on a confession of straying, a moment of profound realization of wrongdoing, and a desperate plea for forgiveness. The opening lines immediately establish this vulnerability, expressing regret for actions taken with full awareness of their transgression and the subsequent hiding from divine presence. This sense of shame and loss, the feeling of a world turned adrift, is palpable, leading to the heartfelt request to be welcomed back, to be embraced once more by an enduring love.
The core message of "Perdóname" is a powerful testament to God's persistent love and the transformative nature of returning to Him. The lyrics depict a soul that has faltered in faith, that has allowed doubt to extinguish the light of belief, leading to days filled with sorrow. Yet, even in this state of being lost, the song emphasizes that divine love pursued. This echoes the biblical narrative of the prodigal son, who, after squandering his inheritance and finding himself in utter destitution, realizes his father’s love was constant, prompting his return (Luke 15:11-32). The question posed, "What did You see in me to love me so much?" beautifully captures the paradox of God's unconditional grace, a love that sees inherent worth even when we fail to see it in ourselves, as described in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
The turning point in the song arrives with the assurance of forgiveness. The realization that God's love now grants pardon brings about a profound rediscovery of one's true self, a return to one's essential being. This renewal is directly attributed to the sacrifice made, to the life given in recompense. Campos articulates this rebirth through the statement, "Today I live by your love, I was born again," a clear allusion to the New Birth experience central to Christian faith, as spoken by Jesus in John 3:3, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." The repetitive plea to be heard, to have this song of return acknowledged, underscores the earnestness of this spiritual recommitment.
The song's conclusion reinforces this newfound conviction, a determination to lift one's voice and sing of Christ, even in the face of external disbelief or past judgments. This resilient declaration, "I will raise my voice, I will sing of Christ, even if they believe the opposite of me," speaks to the inner strength derived from a restored relationship with God. It mirrors the courage of biblical figures who testified to their faith despite opposition. The recurring question about why divine love is so encompassing serves not as a sign of doubt, but as a perpetual marvel at the depth of God's grace. Ultimately, "Perdóname" is a compelling anthem of hope, a reminder that no matter how far one may wander, the path back to divine love is always open, paved with forgiveness and the promise of a new beginning, aligning perfectly with God's unfailing mercy throughout Scripture.
