Elena
Airbag Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh, Elena, como me gusta verte pasar
Con tu bikini, tus gafas y tu melena,
Si miro no es casualidad

Oh, oh, Elena, como me gusta verte nadar
Y en tu toalla poniendote tan morena
Si miro no es casualidad
Te vi en aquel bar con tu camiseta a rayas
Sin parar de bailar
Y comprendi que eras distinta a las demás

Oh, oh, Elena, como me gusta verte bailar
Mirar a otra ya no merece la pena
Si miro es por casualidad

Oh, oh, Elena, como me gusta verte bailar




Mirar a otra ya no merece la pena
Si miro es por casualidad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Airbag's song Elena describe a sense of infatuation and admiration towards a woman named Elena. The singer expresses his pleasure in seeing her pass by in her bikini, sunglasses, and hair, emphasizing that it is not a coincidence that he is looking. He also likes watching her swim and get tan on her towel, again asserting that his gaze is intentional. In a different setting at a bar, he saw her dancing and understood that she was different from other women. He reaffirms his attraction to her by saying that looking at another woman is not worth it if Elena is around.


The song portrays a typical scenario of a man being drawn to a woman in a physical sense, objectifying her and being seemingly unable to resist the temptation to look at her. However, it also highlights a sense of inferiority towards Elena, as he sees her as different and desirable, suggesting a lack of self-confidence on his part. The repetitive use of "oh, oh" in the chorus also adds to the sense of obsession and longing for Elena.
