Momentos
Alexandre Pires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hablando de mil cosas por hacer
y a veces en pequeñas discusiones
llegaba a amanecer.
Y siempre amanecía con un beso
y tú, después me preparabas un café
y yo me despedía cada día
Parábamos el tiempo día a día
quería descubrirte cada vez
prendido de tu vida
y tú prendida de la mía
el mundo parecía a nuestros pies.
Ya ves que todo pasa,
quién diría
ya ves que poco queda del ayer
apenas los recuerdos
momentos que no vuelven otra vez.
Te acuerdas de las veces que dijimos,
que nada nos podría separar
el viento que escuchaba tus palabras
cantaba tu cantar.
Y yo me cobijaba por tu cuerpo,
y tu echabas los sentidos a volar
perdidos en la noche y el silencio
soñábamos soñar.
La vida se hace siempre de momentos,
de cosas que no sueles valorar
y luego cuando pierdes
cuando al fin te has dado cuenta
el tiempo no te deja regresar.
Ya ves que todo pasa,
quién diría
ya ves que poco queda por contar
apenas los recuerdos
momentos que no vuelven nunca más.
The song "Momentos" by Alexandre Pires is an emotional and heartfelt tribute to past memories of a past relationship. The lyrics describe the time the singer and his partner spent together, staying up all night talking and occasionally bickering, but always making up with a kiss and a cup of coffee in the morning. They both were so consumed in each other's life that the world seemed to be at their feet. But as time passes, the singer realizes that everything is fleeting and nothing lasts forever. Even though he tried to hold onto those memories, they slip away, leaving only a feeling of nostalgia and a yearning to go back to those moments. The song insists that life is made of these moments, the ones that we don't tend to value but end up missing immensely when they're gone.
Throughout the song, the singer's perspective shifts between the past and the present, as he reflects on the moments he shared with his romantic partner. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a passionate and intense relationship, but it also captures the melancholic realization that everything is temporary, and time continues to move on. The song's central theme is about life and time; it's about reminiscing the moments we've lost and cherishing the ones we hold dear. All in all, "Momentos" is an incredibly emotional and relatable song that speaks to the universal experience of experiencing nostalgia.
