Cadillac Solitario
Loquillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dejar un día esta ciudad
Cruzar el mar en tu compañía
Pero ya hace tiempo que me has dejado
Y probablemente me habrás olvidado
No sé que aventuras correré sin ti
Y ahora estoy aquí sentado
En un viejo Cadillac segunda mano
Junto al Merbeyé, a mis pies mi ciudad
Y hace un momento que me ha dejado
Aquí en la ladera del Tibidabo
La última rubia que vino a probar el asiento de atrás
Quizás el Martini me ha hecho recordar
Nena ¿Por qué no volviste a llamar?
Creí que podía olvidarte sin más, y aún a ratos ya ves
Y al irse la rubia me he sentido extraño
Me he quedado solo fumando un cigarro
Quizás he pensado, nostalgia de ti
Y desde esta curva donde estoy parado
Me he sorprendido mirando a tu barrio
Me han atrapado luces de ciudad
El amanecer me sorprenderá
Dormido, borracho, en el Cadillac
Junto a las palmeras, cruce solitario
Y dice la gente que ahora eres formal
Y yo aquí borracho en el Cadillac
Bajo las palmeras, cruce solitario
El amanecer me sorprenderá
Dormido, borracho, en el Cadillac
Junto a las palmeras, cruce solitario
Y dice la gente que ahora eres formal
Y yo aquí borracho en el Cadillac
Bajo las palmeras, cruce solitario
Y no estás tú (no estás tú)
No estás tú, no estás tú (no estás tú)
No estás tú, no estás tú (no estás tú)
No estás tú, no estás tú (no estás tú)
No estás tú, no estás tú (no estás tú)
(No estás tú)
The lyrics to the song "Cadillac Solitario" by Loquillo are about nostalgia, regret, and longing for something that is no longer there. The singer, who always wanted to leave the city and go to Los Angeles, is now sitting in a second-hand Cadillac with a martini in his hand, looking at the city from a hill. He has just been left by a woman, and he reflects on his loneliness without her. He remembers her and wonders why she never called back. He is drinking and smoking, and he feels strange when a woman tries to seduce him in the back seat of the car. He thinks about his ex-girlfriend and misses her, even though he knows she is probably doing well without him. He is alone in his car, in the middle of the night, feeling empty and longing for something that is gone.
The song is a tribute to the glamour of the 1950s in America, particularly to the Cadillac car. It is also a reflection on the emptiness of modern life, and the longing for something that is lost. The song speaks to many people who are nostalgic for a time that never existed, or who feel a sense of disconnection in the modern world. The lyrics are deeply emotional and resonate with many listeners.
