la soledad
Valeria Castro • From “el cuerpo después de todo”
What is the meaning of la soledad Lyrics from el cuerpo después de todo?
The lyrics talk about loneliness that clings like a second skin. Valeria Castro writes, ‘How much is loneliness going to love me, only to never let me go?’ She compares it to a river without a bed, describing a life adrift.
Como río sin cauce, como flor sin primaveraLike a river without a bed, like a flower without spring,
¿Cómo quieres que no canse la añoranza sin bandera?how do you expect this aimless longing not to wear me down?
Tengo claro que no tengo nada que perder aquíI’m certain that I’ve got nothing left to lose here,
La verdad de unos ojos que miran sin el amparothe truth of eyes that look out without the protection
De quien sabe que está roto este corazón tan raroof someone who knows this strange heart is broken.
Tengo claro que no tengo nada que perder asíI’m certain that I’ve got nothing left to lose this way.
¿Cuánto me va a querer la soledadHow much is loneliness going to love me,
Pa no soltarme?only to never let me go?
Y se vuelve costumbre no olvidar un pasadoAnd it becomes a habit to never forget a past,
Y que algo dentro me pregunte qué tendré yo de malowhere something inside asks me what’s so wrong with me.
Tengo claro que hay heridas que pueden volver a abrirI’m certain there are wounds that can open up again,
Y creo que voy aceptando que se convierte en quimeraand I think I’m accepting that it’s becoming an ‘impossible dream’
El querer que exista algo que dure la vida enterato want something to exist that lasts a lifetime.
Tengo claro que hay heridas que me van a hacer sufrirI’m certain there are wounds that are going to make me suffer.
¿Cuánto me va a querer la soledadHow much is loneliness going to love me,
Pa no soltarme?only to never let me go?
¿Cuánto me va a querer la soledadHow much is loneliness going to love me,
Pa no soltarme?only to never let me go?
¿Cuánto me va a querer la soledadHow much is loneliness going to love me,
Pa no soltarme?only to never let me go?
