About The Song

José José (1948-2019) was a Mexican singer and actor who is considered one of the most iconic and influential figures in Latin music. He was known for his powerful voice, romantic ballads, and charismatic stage presence. “He Renunciado a Ti” (I Have Renounced You) is one of José José’s most popular songs. It was released in 1976 as the lead single on his album of the same name. The song is a dramatic ballad about a man who has lost the love of his life.

The song opens with a simple piano melody that sets the tone for the rest of the song. José José’s voice enters, and he immediately begins to pour his heart into the lyrics. The song builds in intensity as José José sings about the pain of heartbreak. The chorus is particularly powerful, as José José sings the line “He renunciado a ti” (I have renounced you) with all the passion and conviction he can muster.

“He Renunciado a Ti” is a timeless ballad that continues to resonate with listeners today. It is a song about love, loss, and the power of the human heart. José José’s incredible performance makes the song even more memorable, and it is no wonder that it has become one of his signature songs.

Lyrics

He renunciado a ti definitivamenteHe renunciado a ti y esta vez para siempreTe habrás fijado que no te buscoQue pasa el tiempo y no voy por tu casaQue no me ves por los sitios que pasasHe renunciado a ti, he renunciado a ti
Porque es pura fantasía nuestro amorIlusiones que se forjan con el tiempoPorque es tanta la distancia entre los dosQue es difícil que podamos entendernos
Porque es pura fantasía nuestro amorIlusiones que se forjan con el tiempoPorque es tanta la distancia entre los dosQue es difícil que podamos entendernos
He renunciado a ti como lo hace el mendigoAnte el juguete caro que llevaría a su hijoComo las aves, a las estrellasComo renuncia a ser flor lo que es hierbaY cualquier hombre a volver a ser niñoHe renunciado a ti, he renunciado a ti
Porque es pura fantasía nuestro amorIlusiones que se forjan con el tiempoPorque es tanta la distancia entre los dosQue es difícil que podamos entendernos
Porque es pura fantasía nuestro amorIlusiones que se forjan con el tiempoPorque es tanta la distancia entre los dosQue es difícil que podamos entendernos
Porque es pura fantasía nuestro amorIlusiones que se forjan con el tiempoPorque es tanta la distancia entre los dosQue es difícil
