La Flor
Alfonso Espriella Lyrics

The lyrics to Alfonso Espriella's song "La Flor" express a desire to be together and share intimacy with someone. The first line of the song, "Ven a la piel," which translates to "Come to the skin," suggests that the singer wants to be very close physically and emotionally to the other person. The second line, "Quiero acompañarte," or "I want to accompany you," reveals a desire for the singer to be by the other person's side and support them. The third line, "En el silencio puede entrar / Tu historia es solo un cuento volvamos a empezar," which means "In the silence, your story can enter / Your story is just a tale, let's start over," indicates that the singer wants to create a new beginning with the other person and move past any negative experiences or narratives that may have existed before.

The following lines discuss growth and positive transformation: "Y un vida se va abriendo / Brotar el cuerpo, al fin / Derramas todo el cielo sobre mi," or "And a life is opening up / The body finally blossoming / You pour all the sky onto me." This imagery suggests that the relationship is nurturing and positive, allowing both partners to flourish and experience joy. The chorus emphasizes this joyful feeling, with the lines "Perfecta melodia / Que estaba dormida / Abierta está la flor / No hay muros de dolor," or "A perfect melody / That was asleep / The flower is open / There are no walls of pain." The final lines, "Un beso y ya" or "One kiss and that's it," suggest that the intimate connection between the two partners is the most important thing.
