Invierno
Alejandro Fernández Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo he visto en invierno
Volar avecillas,
Pidiéndole al cielo
Un rayo de luz.

La he visto más tarde
Cantar de alegría,
Cuando en el estío
El sol alumbró.

Terrible martirio
Es amar con locura
Sin estar convencido
Si me amas o no.

He soñado mil veces
Que tu alma y la mía
Han ido formando
Un nido de amor.

Yo he visto en tus ojos
Querido amor mío
Reflejarse un cariño
Que en mi alma nació.

Pero duerme tranquila
Como duerme un niño
Que nunca en su pecho
Dolores sintió.

Yo he visto a mi madre,
A mi madre querida
Llorar mi desgracia
Cual nadie lloró;
Y un día llorando
Me dijo, hijo mío,




Tan solo en la madre
No es falso el amor.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alejandro Fernandez's song "Invierno" are rich in emotion and melancholy. The opening verse speaks of the winter season and how even the birds still try to seek a ray of light in the darkness. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggle to find hope amid difficult times. Later on, we hear the singer talk about the pain of loving someone deeply but not having the certainty of their love in return. This is a common theme in many love songs, but it feels especially poignant in this context. The verses that follow talk about dreams of creating a love nest with a partner and seeing the reflection of their love in their eyes.


However, the song takes a dark turn towards the end when the singer talks about his mother crying for him and telling him that true love only exists in a mother's heart. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the impermanence of romantic love and how a mother's love is the only constant love that one can rely on.


Overall, "Invierno" is a melancholic song that speaks to the heartaches of love and the innate desire to find hope even in the darkest times.
