Marinos
Francisco Victoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se va el domingo que me quedó
De esta orilla
Amarrado junto al mar
Corazón de piedra me lo deja sin latido
Los amores llegan y se van como marinos
Ya no quiero mi vida
Si mi vida es no tener amor
Ya no quiero destino
Si el destino es no querer ser yo
Tengo miedo marino
Tengo miedo de partirme en dos
Si te llevas contigo
El latido de mi corazón
Yo no soy nada especial
Yo no tengo plata ni me dieron apellidos
Te prometo si te vas
Voy a tomar cloro
Voy a tirarme al río
Siempre quedo triste sin mi prenda
Sin marino
Ya no quiero mi vida
Si mi vida es no tener amor
Ya no quiero destino
Si el destino es no querer ser yo
Tengo miedo marino
Tengo miedo de partirme en dos
Si te llevas contigo
El latido de mi corazón
Tengo miedo marino
Tengo miedo de partirme en dos
Si te llevas contigo
El latido de mi corazón
The lyrics of Francisco Victoria's "Marinos" convey a sense of deep heartache and fear of loss. The song tells the story of a person who is facing the end of a relationship and feels lost and hopeless. The repetition of the opening line "Se repite una vez más" (it repeats once more) emphasizes a sense of monotony and despair. The singer is left alone, tied to the shore, while the love of their life, the "marino" (sailor), has left like so many others before.
The lyrics describe the emotional pain of not feeling loved and wanting to end one's own life. The line "Te prometo si te vas voy a tomar cloro, voy a tirarme al río" (I promise you, if you leave, I will drink bleach, I will throw myself in the river) highlights the dark thoughts that can arise from deep heartbreak. The singer feels like they are nothing, with no money or prestigious family name, and fears that the "marino" will take their heart with him.
Overall, "Marinos" is a poignant and emotional song about the pain of lost love and the fear of being alone. The use of repetition, metaphor, and vivid imagery make the lyrics deeply evocative and relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak.
