No Hay Final
Alfonso Espriella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que estas bañada en paz
Y hoy la distancia ya no es igual
En una cama, jugar
como una danza del mar
Y en la mirada ya no hay final
No hay ningún lugar
No hay entrada no hay salida
no hay herido porque no hay heridas que agarrar
No hay derrota, no hay victoria
no has ganado porque no has perdido nada jamas
No esta lejos, no esta cerca, no hay adentro, no hay afuera
Todo el mismo lugar
The lyrics of Alfonso Espriella's song "No Hay Final" paint a picture of a peaceful and harmonious state, with the suggestion that achieving this state involves entering into it from a particular direction. The first line, "Entra de espaldas, veras", can be translated to "Enter backwards, you'll see", indicating a non-linear path toward this state. The subsequent line, "Que estas bañada en paz", meaning "You are bathed in peace", reinforces this image of a serene, engulfing state. The following line "Y hoy la distancia ya no es igual," literally translates to "And today the distance is no longer the same," may imply that this state of being is not just emotionally, but perhaps physically, distinct from the rest of the world.
The next stanza takes on a more sensual tone with "En una cama, jugar como una danza del mar", meaning "In a bed, play like a dance of the sea", which evokes the image of two lovers intimately twirling around each other like the ocean's waves. The final line, "Y en la mirada ya no hay final", translates to "And in the gaze there is no end", suggesting that this state cannot be bound by the limitations of time or space.
Overall, the lyrics seem to convey a sense of peace and tranquility that goes beyond the physical realm. The structure of the lyrics is interesting because it does not conform to traditional narrative, instead opting for vivid sensory imagery and emotional impressions.
