Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Este amor que he ido
Amasando con mis manos
Se me va, Se me va
Lo que tanto tiempo yo he querido tanto
Se me va
No hay razón
Lo que tanto me costó
No hay razón
Que se vaya de mis manos en un soplo
Tanto amor.
Se me va
Como el agua que se escurre
De las manos
Se me va
Como el aire que no puedes sujetarlo
Como el tiempo que implacable
Va pasando
Y como el humo, tu cariño
Se me va
Ay, se me va
Y no puedo yo, ya luchar, por retenerlo
Este amor, que en realidad
Se ha ido muriendo
Y por eso de mis manos
Se me va
Donde irán
Esos días de alegría que pasamos
Donde irán
Donde irán
Esas miles de caricias que inventamos
Donde irán
Ya lo sé
Que en la vida nunca hay nada para siempre
Ya lo sé
Pero fue tan bonito así quererte
Que ahora me cuesta perder
Se me va
Como el agua que se escurre de las manos
Se me va
Como el aire que no puedes sujetarlo
Como el tiempo que implacable va pasando
Como el humo, tu cariño
Se me va
Ay, se me va
Y no puedo ya luchar
Por retenerlo
Este amor que en realidad
Se ha ido muriendo
Y por eso de mis manos
Se me va
Ay, se me va
Y no puedo ya luchar
Por retenerlo
Este amor, que en realidad
Se ha ido muriendo
Y por eso de mis manos
Se me va
Ay, se me va.
Azucar Moreno's song "Se Me Va" is a poignant ballad about the loss of love. The lyrics describe a love that has been grown and nurtured over time with much effort and care, but which is slipping away. The singer expresses her deep sorrow as she watches her beloved love fade away just like water slipping from her fingers.
The lyrics are full of metaphors that vividly capture the fleeting nature of love. The first verse likens the fading of love to water flowing out of one's hands, while the second compares it to smoke that dissipates into thin air. The third verse has a slightly different tone, as the singer ponders the memories of the happy times they shared and the million caresses they invented. The chorus repeats the idea of things slipping away like time and air.
The song's themes of love and loss are emotive and relatable, and the lyrics showcase the beautifully melancholic voice of Azucar Moreno. The combination of the powerful instrumentation and the moving lyrics makes this song a poignant classic that has endured through the years.
