Tu Marcha
Azúcar Moreno Lyrics

Cuando me desperté
y tu cuerpo busqué
en vano lo intenté
Tú ya no estabas
te fuiste sin decir
lo que eras para mí
te fuiste sin hablar
sin decir nada

No sé si fue el sentir
no sé si fue el pensar
que el amor que te di
no te llenaba a tí

y que todo el pudor que a tu cuerpo me unió
fue solo una ocasión aprovechada.
Te fuiste sin el beso de mi cama
amando el sueño la frialdad
de mi almohada
Qué triste el despertar
sin tu presencia
mejor morir de amor
que morir por tu ausencia
No sé si fue el sentir
no sé si fue el pensar
que el amor que te di
no te llenaba

y que todo el pudor que a tu cuerpo me unió
fue solo una ocasión aprovechada
Cuando me desperté
y tu cuerpo busqué
en vano lo intenté
Tú ya no estabas
Y te busqué en mi ser
sin poderte encontrar
pues te marchaste tú
y no te volví a ver.

Te fuiste sin el beso de mi cama
amando el sueño la frialdad
de mi almohada
Qué triste el despertar
sin tu presencia
mejor morir de amor
que morir por tu ausencia
Te fuiste sin el beso de mi cama
amando el sueño la frialdad
de mi almohada
Qué triste el despertar
sin tu presencia
mejor morir de amor
que morir por tu ausencia

mejor morir de amor
que morir por tu ausencia.

Overall Meaning

The song "Tu Marcha" by Azucar Moreno is a heartbroken song about a lover who wakes up to find their partner has left them without a word. The lyrics describe the feeling of emptiness, loneliness, and betrayal that the singer faces as they search for their loved one in vain. The song's first verse sets the scene of the morning after, as the singer wakes up and looks for their partner's body, only to realize they have left. The second verse explores the possibility that the reason their partner left was that the love they had given them was not enough.

The chorus repeats the same message twice, saying that the partner left without a goodbye and that there is sadness in this awakening, but it's better to die of love than to die of loneliness in their absence. The third verse of the song paints a picture of the singer looking for their lost lover within themselves, but unable to find them. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, which drives home the emotional impact of the lover's departure.

Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the pain of being left by someone you love. It's a touching song that beautifully captures the emotions involved in a breakup.
