Song Meaning of “Avisale a Mi Contrario – En Vivo” by Orquesta Tabaco Y Ron
Avisale a Mi Contrario is a passionate Latin love song that talks about the longing and desire for someone who is not available. The song speaks to the emotional rollercoaster of loving someone from afar but being in no real position to do anything about it, as is the case when they are “contrario”—the opposite, or on the other side of the physical divide.
In the song, the singer expresses his heartache, articulating his love and desire in the line “Quiero ser tu amante, esta noche yo” — “I want to be your lover tonight.” The song further emphasizes this intense longing with lines like “No tengo poder para cambiar tu destino” — “I have no power to change your destiny.”
The song’s chorus strikes an uplifting tone of hope, with the singer repeating the line “Avisale a mi contrario que yo te quiero” — “Tell my opposite the love I have for you.” Here, the singer expresses a belief that his love reaching someone across the divide is possible, though there is no guarantee of a response. The vivid imagery of the chorus conveys a strong sense of yearning, and speaks to the power of love transcending boundaries and being powerful and real—even in the absence of a physical connection.
