Estos días
Alejandro y Maria Laura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Creo que el amor que siento yo por ti
es como el sol que dibujaste en la pared

Memoricé estos días por si se nos van
pero aquí están pintando todo
como el mar
y olvidamos donde estamos
y el mundo es un mapa por dibujar

solo para dos, estos días

Tu amor se parece a una canción
que olvidé entre crayolas en mi niñez.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Estos días" by Alejandro y Maria Laura reveal a beautiful romantic feeling that the singer has for someone special. The opening line "Creo que el amor que siento yo por ti" (I believe the love I feel for you) is an expression of the singer's utmost confidence in the feelings they have for their loved one. The comparison of their love to "el sol que dibujaste en la pared" (the sun you drew on the wall) is a metaphor that signifies how essential and powerful their love is, just like the sun that sustains life on earth. The sun may seem small when drawn on the wall, but its significance is enormous. Similarly, the love the singer has for their loved one may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but its importance cannot be overstated.

The following lines "Memoricé estos días por si se nos van / pero aquí están pintando todo como el mar" (I memorized these days in case they slip away / but here they are, coloring everything like the sea) shows an effort to hold onto these beautiful moments as life moves on. The singer wants to remember every precious moment they spend with their loved one. The comparison to the "mar" (sea) also signifies how vast and limitless their love is. It's all-encompassing and boundless, just like the sea.

In the next lines, "y olvidamos donde estamos / y el mundo es un mapa por dibujar / solo para dos, estos días" (and we forget where we are / and the world is a map to be drawn / just for two, these days), the singer emphasizes the cocoon-like feeling that occurs when two people are in love. The world ceases to matter, and all that's important is the connection between them. The final lines, "Tu amor se parece a una canción / que olvidé entre crayolas en mi niñez" (Your love is like a song / that I forgot in my childhood crayons), are a beautiful way of saying that their love feels familiar, like a childhood memory. The love they share may not be new, but it feels like rediscovering something beautiful that was always there.
