Las Gotas
Assimo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo no sé, es terrible
Llueve todo el tiempo,
Afuera tupido y gris,
Aquí contra el balcón
Una gotita, en lo alto del marco
De la ventana
Temblequeando contra el cielo
Que la triza en mil

Brillos apagados
Va creciendo
Y se tambalea,
Ya va a caer

No se cae, todavía no se cae
Prendida con todas las uñas,
No quiere caerse
Se agarra con los dientes
Y no se cae

Pero las hay que
Se entregan en seguida,
Brotan en el marco
Y ahí mismo se tiran,
Y el grito que las emborracha
En esa nada del caer




Tristes gotas, inocentes
Adiós gotas, adiós

Overall Meaning

In Assimo's song "Las Gotas," the lyrics depict a rainy day where the raindrops cling onto the window frame and struggle to fall off. The singer of the song is observing the raindrops and the struggle they face against the force of wind and gravity. The lyrics evoke a feeling of loneliness and despair as the singer is stuck inside, watching the raindrops and contemplating their seemingly futile struggle.


The lyrical imagery of the raindrop clinging onto the window frame with all its might, using "all its nails" and "clinging" with its "teeth" creates an image of determination and resilience. However, the raindrop's ultimate fall is the representation of giving in and surrendering to the natural forces. The reference to the cry of the raindrop as it falls represents the sensation of releasing all the pinned-up emotions and bottling up feelings, which is the essence of the song.
