The meaning of the lyrics of the song "En El Puente Del Ahorcado" by the artist "Vendaval"

The poem "En El Puente Del Ahorcado" ("On the Hanged Man's Bridge") by the Spanish author Vendaval tells a tragic story of love, glory, and loss that leads the protagonist to suicide.

The main character is a powerful warrior who craves power and adoration. He rules with sword and might, inspiring fear and awe in his subjects. However, behind the mask of invincibility lies a loving heart, entirely devoted to one woman.

Upon returning home from another victory, the hero faces an unbearable loss - the death of his beloved. Instead of joy from the triumph, he is met with a funeral and a farewell letter, revealing the depth of grief and despair. At this moment, everything collapses: ambitions and power lose their meaning in the face of death, and the sword and courage are powerless against emotional pain.

The hero is unable to cope with the loss that overshadows all other feelings - honor, courage, the will to live. The only way out for him is suicide on the hanged man's bridge - a place that symbolizes hopelessness and despair.

The finale of the poem is imbued with sorrow and hopelessness. Two graves on the seashore are a silent testament to the tragedy that claimed two lives, connected by an unbreakable thread of love.

Quiso reinar

Y a todos los pueblos humillo

Con su espada y su valor

Con su ambición y su poder

Los hombres temblaban al oír su voz

Y creían que era un dios

Pero al volver a su hogar

Allí se encontró

Un entierro y una carta de adiós

Ni su espada ni su fuerza le sirvió

No pudo aguantar el dolor

Con ella enterraba su corazón,

su honor, su valor...

Así que la vida se quito

En el puente del ahorcado

Y en un lugar,

Dos tumbas unidas bajo el sol

A la orilla del mar

Recuerdan a aquel

Que se mato por lealtad

Por amor a una mujer.

Porque al volver a su hogar

Allí se encontró

Un entierro y una carta de adiós

Ni su espada ni su fuerza le sirvió

No pudo aguantar el dolor

Con ella enterraba su corazón,

su honor, su valor...

Así que la vida se quito

En el puente del ahorcado...
