Santa Rita
Amarillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu vestido preferido.
Se destiñen las hojas a tu paso,
Corre, corre por el patio.
Entre cortinas bailo,
Buscando a alguien, ¡qué se yo!
Disimulando tanto
Tú pensaste no quiero estar tan sola.
Piensas, miras, examinas,
Y te acuerdas que estuve aquí ese día,
Eso nadie te lo quita.
Me seguirás despacio,
Con tu mochila de algodón.
Me sentiré cansado,
Aguanta la respiración.
¡Y si me escondo detrás de la pared!
¡Yo no he sido!
¡Y si te escondes detrás de aquella pared!
¡Yo no he sido, te has confundido!
¡Y si te escondes detrás de aquella pared!
¡Yo no he sido, te has confundido!
¡Y si te escondes detrás de aquella pared!
¡Yo no he sido, te has confundido!
Entre cortinas bailo
Buscando a alguien, ¡qué se yo!
Disimulando tanto
Que se me nota en la expresión.
The lyrics of Amarillo's song Santa Rita speak about a person who arrives late to a gathering and gets caught in the rain, ruining their favorite dress. As they make their way through the courtyard, the leaves of the plants fade away, creating a sense of melancholy. The person then seeks solace by dancing behind curtains, looking for someone but trying to hide their true feelings. As they dance, they remember being there on a previous occasion and feel a sense of attachment that no one can take away.
The second stanza speaks about the person trying to hide from someone with a cotton bag, feeling tired and holding their breath. They play a game of hide-and-seek, pretending that they haven't been found when caught. The song ends with the person still dancing behind the curtains, trying to hide their feelings and vulnerability but letting it show on their face.
Overall, the song presents a sense of longing and nostalgia, with the lyrics focusing on themes of hiding and seeking, vulnerability, and the fleeting nature of memories and emotions.
