Esta Tarde Vi Llóver
Roberto Carlos Lyrics

In Armando Manzanero's Esta Tarde Vi Llover, the singer describes how they are feeling as they observe their surroundings. They note that one evening they saw a blue star shining brightly and yet the person they longed for was not there. They continue by recalling another afternoon they observed a lovebird, fully in love and passionately kissing their partner, though the person they longed for was still not present. The singer observes how they have seen people running around in the rain, and even as autumn arrives and the sea sings, they long for someone who is still absent.

The song is a nostalgic reflection on the emotions of longing and loss. The singer is acutely aware of the absence of the person they are longing for, a sense of emptiness painted vividly by the natural elements that are present in their surroundings. The song conveys a sense of desolation that the singer is experiencing, and the question of whether the other person loves them or not remains unresolved.
