Vía Láctea
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grabada con aerosol
Tu beso fantasma pegado en mi labio inferior
Y el mapa de tu desnudez
Llevo el prisma de tus ojos
En mi casco de astronauta
Y la tímida aurora de tus células
Y todas las noches
Bajo la Vía Láctea
Parecen eternas
Si tú no estás
Todas las noches
Desde mi ventana
Conjuro tu nombre inmortal
Y a veces llora mi piel
Cuando se empaña de anhelo
Se infla mi mente con tantos recuerdos
Que ya no me puedo dormir
Y en la alfombra de tus sueños
Soy el rayo vagabundo
Y desmaya y dolece
Pero no se apaga
Y todas las noches
Bajo la Vía Láctea
Parecen eternas
Si tú no estás
Todas las noches
Desde mi ventana
Conjuro tu nombre inmortal
Llevo el prisma de tus ojos
En mi casco de astronauta
Y la tímida aurora de tus células
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Si tú no estás
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Si tú no estás
Y sé que te vuelvo a encontrar
The lyrics to Zoé's song Vía Láctea speak of the profound connection the singer still feels to someone who has left their life. The first stanza describes how the singer carries the memory of their lover's voice and kiss, as well as a map of their nudity, as if they are trying to capture every aspect of their being. The second stanza introduces the metaphor of the singer as an astronaut, carrying the image of their lover's eyes in their helmet and the aura of their cells, as if they are venturing into uncharted territory. The chorus speaks of the singer's longing for their lover, especially at night when they stare up at the Milky Way, feeling like time stretches on forever without them. Even when they cry or feel overwhelmed with memories, there is a sense that their love is enduring and cannot be extinguished.
The lyrics paint a picture of a love that is all-encompassing and almost painful in its intensity. There is a sense of desperation in the singer's need to hold onto every part of their lover, as if they are afraid of forgetting them. The astronaut metaphor adds to this sense of exploration and discovery, as if the singer is trying to chart a course through their complex emotions. The repetition of "Vía Láctea" at the end gives the song a dreamlike quality, as if the singer is lost in their own reverie.

Llevo tu voz en mi voz
Grabada con aerosol
Tu beso fantasma pegado en mi labio inferior
Y el mapa de tu desnudez
I carry your voice inside mine, imprinted like graffiti with spray paint.
Your phantom kiss haunts my lower lip
And the roadmap to your nakedness
Llevo el prisma de tus ojos
En mi casco de astronauta
Y la tímida aurora de tus células
I carry the prism of your eyes
Inside my astronaut's helmet
And the timid dawn of your cells
Y todas las noches
Bajo la Vía Láctea
Parecen eternas
Si tú no estás
Todas las noches
Desde mi ventana
Conjuro tu nombre inmortal
Every night,
Under the Milky Way
Seems eternal
If you are not there
Every night
From my window
I chant your immortal name
Y a veces llora mi piel
Cuando se empaña de anhelo
Se infla mi mente con tantos recuerdos
Que ya no me puedo dormir
Sometimes my skin weeps
As it misted with longing
My mind is flooded with memories
That keep me from sleeping
Y en la alfombra de tus sueños
Soy el rayo vagabundo
Y desmaya y dolece
Pero no se apaga
And in the carpet of your dreams,
I am the restless lightning
That flickers and aches
But never fades away
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Si tú no estás
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Vía Láctea
Si tú no estás
Y sé que te vuelvo a encontrar
Milky way
Milky way
Milky way
If you are not there
Milky way
Milky way
Milky way
If you are not there
And I know that I'll find you again
