Andromeda
Alejandro Santiago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te vistes de negro distante galaxia
Me envuelves de pronto profunda y extraña
Te mueves de prisa llevando mi aliento
Viajando tu ruta de fe contratiempo
Principio te dio una explosión de repente
Visión de colores me inundas, me enciendes
Viajando tu espacio que llevo en la mente
Me dejas reflejos que expresan mi suerte
Quien te descubrió no supo ni la mitad
De la esencia que te hace particular
tan especial, original
fue la noche fue emoción, quizás mi imaginación
que al querer amarte sólo te llamé.
Te miro de abajo, me quedas lejana
quisiera arrancarte de un golpe las ganas
Vigilas mi andar por encima viajera
Te llevé en la piel me has cubierto de estrellas
Quien te descubrió no supo ni la mitad
de la esencia que te hace particular
tan especial, original
fue la noche fue emoción, quizás mi imaginación
que al quererte amarte sólo te llamé.
Fue un chispazo, fue un error
no preguntes qué sé yo




que al ponerte nombre ANDRÓMEDA te dio...
te puso ANDRÓMEDA, te puso ANDRÓMEDA.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alejandro Santiago's song Andromeda are poetic and metaphorical, using the imagery of a distant galaxy to describe a deep and unfamiliar love. The singer describes his lover as a "black galaxy," something both alluring and mysterious, enveloping him suddenly and fully. He feels swept away by her, even as she moves quickly, taking his breath away and throwing him off balance.


The singer reflects on the beginning of their relationship, describing it as an explosion of color and passion that has left him with memories and reflections that express his current emotional state. He admits that he only understands half of what makes his lover unique and special, but that he is still drawn to her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Who discovered you didn't even know half / of the essence that makes you special / so special, original / It was the night, it was emotion, maybe my imagination / That in wanting to love you, I only called you."


Later in the song, the singer imagines himself looking up at his lover, still distant and unattainable even after all this time. He wishes he could shake off his desire for her, but she remains a constant presence in his life, covering him in stars and watching over him as he goes about his days. The song ends with the admission that naming her Andromeda was a mistake, a moment of passion that has come to define their relationship forever.


Overall, the lyrics of Andromeda are deeply emotional and full of longing, using poetic language to describe the unexplainable mystery of love. The singer is clearly struggling with his feelings, torn between his desire for his lover and his recognition that he may never truly understand her.
