Si me nombras
Ana Belén & Victor Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sé que alumbro si me das tu luz.
Que si esperas llegaré puntual.
Si no llegas yo te espero igual.
Que por tu piel me pongo a caminar
En cada despertar.
Que si pides doy, si me llamas voy,
Trenzas mi voluntad.
Sé que puedo si me lo juras tú.
Sin tu cara siempre me sale cruz.
Si me sonríes vuelo, si te arrodillas creo,
Si tú tropiezas yo caeré.
Si me perdonas nazco, si creces yo te alcanzo
Y si me olvidas moriré.
Sé que existo si me nombras tú,
Que si lloras cargo con tu cruz.
Si me rindo es que no oí tu voz.
Si te duele me desangro yo.
Que por tu piel comienzo a caminar
En cada despertar,
Que si pides doy, si me llamas voy,
Trenzas mi voluntad.
Sé que existo si me nombras tú,
Que sin ti seré nadie en la multitud.
Que sin ti seré nadie en la multitud.
Si me sonríes vuelo, si te arrodillas creo,
Si tú tropiezas yo caeré.
Si me perdonas nazco, si creces yo te alcanzo
Y si me olvidas moriré.
The lyrics of Ana Belén & Victor Manuel's song Si me nombras convey a message of love, devotion, and the power of the written or spoken word. The singer begins by claiming that they only exist if the person they are addressing mentions them, and that they shine only if that person gives them their light.

The conclusion of the song is a statement of the singer's dependence on the other person. They claim that if the person forgets about them, they will die, and that without them, they will be nobody in the crowd.
Overall, the lyrics of Si me nombras demonstrate the intensity of the singer's feelings for someone, the sacrifices they are willing to make for that person, and their reliance on them for their very existence.
