Amaia Montero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que unio el destino de cinco caminos
Why un viejo pintor holandes
Mezcla perfecta de magia secreta
De tardes de lluvia why café
Notas de música hicieron el resto
Vivimos un sueño, ya ves
¿Como olvidarme de tantos momentos
De tantas palabras de amor?
Muertos de risa, vivimos la vida
Why yo ahora canto esta cancion
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Durante once años mas
De ese shalalalaralala
Nos acompaño, a recorrer de la mano
Lugares del mapa mundial
Luces, conciertos, vida en aeropuertos
Miradas de complicidad
Pero el hechizo hubo de romperse
El resto la historia dirá
¿Como olvidarme de tantos momentos
De tantas palabras de amor?
Muertos de risa, vivimos la vida
Why yo ahora canto esta cancion
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
Que siempre os echaré de menos
Que lo demás son solo cuentos
Siempre sereis mis cuatro ángeles
Que mientras viva, lo recordaré
The lyrics of Amaia Montero's song "Tulipan" are a heartfelt tribute to the singer's former bandmates in La Oreja de Van Gogh. The song reminisces about the band's early years, specifically December of 1996, when fate brought together five young musicians with different paths and a Dutch painter who added a hint of secret magic to their bond. Montero recalls how their shared love for rainy afternoons and coffee, as well as their notes of music, ignited a dream that they lived together. The singer remembers the many moments of laughter and love, and the fact that she will always cherish their time together, no matter what happens in the future. Despite the success, the tours, and the airports, the spell had to break eventually, and the five paths diverged. However, Amaia Montero promises that she will carry the memory of her former bandmates forever, and they will always be her four angels.
The song's lyrics have a clear personal touch, as Montero shares her emotions about the end of an era in her life. She expresses gratitude for the moments she shared with her friends and a willingness to let go and move on without forgetting the past. The song also speaks to the power of music as a binding force that can bring people together, even if fate seems to be against them.
