Te doy una cancion
Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cómo me haces hablar en el silencio
Cómo no te me quitas de las ganas
Aunque nadie me vea nunca contigo
Y cómo pasa el tiempo
Que de pronto son años
Sin pasar tú por mí
Te doy una canción si abro una puerta
Y de la sombra sales tú
Te doy una canción de madrugada
Cuando más quiero tu luz
Te doy una canción cuando apareces
El misterio del amor
In "Te doy una canción," Aute sings about the memories and feelings that his lover evokes in him. The very first line sets the tone for the entire song, with Aute describing how he spends so much time thinking about and remembering this person. He goes on to express how this person makes him talk to himself in quiet moments, and how his desire for this person never fades, even when they're not together. Despite the fact that nobody sees them together, Aute's feelings for this person are very real and very strong.
As the song continues, Aute reflects on the passage of time and how his feelings for this person have only grown with each passing year. He seems stuck in a moment, unable to move forward until he is with this person again. However, he recognizes that they may not be able to be together in the way that he desires.
The chorus offers a glimpse of hope, as Aute promises to give his lover a song if he can just see them again. He describes how this person brings light into his life, and how he is mystified by the power of love.
Overall, "Te doy una canción" is a hauntingly beautiful song about the enduring power of love and the boldness of making a promise to someone you care for deeply.
