La Llorona
Beirut/Realpeople Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The morning lies miles away from the night
No man ever could steal her heart
But With bright gold coins I'll take my shot
And all it takes to fall
If you don't walk, might as well crawl
What a quiet world after all
Of the things that you guessed will come
What a moment it was after all
In the song "La Llorona" by Beirut/Realpeople, the lyrics explore the themes of love, loss, and desperation. The first few lines speak to the idea of being unable to see beyond one's current situation. The morning, which represents hope and possibility, is seemingly far away from the night, which represents darkness and despair. The singer seems to be caught up in a cycle of sadness and is unable to move forward. The next line, "No man ever could steal her heart," suggests that the singer has experienced heartbreak in the past and is perhaps guarded against further pain. However, the following line, "But with bright gold coins I'll take my shot," reveals that the singer is willing to take a risk to win someone over.
The chorus of the song imparts a message of resilience and determination. "All it takes to fall" suggests that taking a risk is worth it, even if you fail. The line "If you don't walk, you might as well crawl" implies that it's better to try and fail than to not try at all. The second half of the chorus brings back the theme of darkness, with "What a quiet world after all." This could either represent a literal quietness after the singer's failed attempt at love or a metaphorical one, suggesting a sense of loneliness and isolation.
Line by Line Meaning
Ever away from seeing more than life
Being consumed by the mundanity of life and missing the bigger picture
The morning lies miles away from the night
The prospect of a new day is far removed from the struggles of the previous one
No man ever could steal her heart
The individual in question is not romantically inclined towards men
But With bright gold coins I'll take my shot
Aiming to win her affections with material wealth
And all it takes to fall
A single mistake can lead to disastrous consequences
If you don't walk, might as well crawl
Moving forward by any means necessary, regardless of how difficult it may be
All it takes to fall
Repeating the importance of avoiding mistakes
What a quiet world after all
Reflecting on the tranquility that follows when one stops obsessing over their problems
Of the things that you guessed will come
The anticipation of future events that may or may not come to fruition
What a moment it was after all
The realization of a significant event and its impact on the individual

Se pierde en un beso, una verdad,
se acaba con mentiras,
se ahogan las penas,
se rompe la piel y salen las alas,
se cae desde el cielo al suelo,
se hace raíz o se
hacen figuras de papel.
No llores mas, no grites
no te esfuerces en pensar
que lo que paso, en el pasado quedara
Que lo que sera,
un futuro que en tus manos ya no esta
¿Que podrás hacer ahora?
Lo que no hiciste algún día,
lo que no harás jamas.

Its lost in a kiss, one truth. It ends with lies, regrets drown,
skin breaks and wings appear
It falls from the sky to the floor,
it becomes a root or paper figures.
Dont cry anymore, dont yell dont try to rememberdont cry anymore,dont yell dont try to think about what happened, its left in the past.
That what will be, a future that is no longer in your hands
What can you do now?
What you didnt do one day what you wont ever do.

México, solo tú y tus leyendas. Con esta canción me es inevitable sentirme feliz de vivir en un país con demasiada cultura. Grande Beirut, unos verdaderos músicos.

Jajaja este se piensa que la llorona la inventaron los mexicanos
@edgarmendieta91
Mexico Tiene una cultura heromosa, tienen historia, comidas riquisimas y la gente son muy generosa. Me enoja cuando escucho que gente habla mal de Mexico. Beirut es una de mis bandas favoritas y este disco es uno de mis favoritos especificamente porque su estilo en estas canciones suena mexicano. No soy mexicano pero Viva Mexico!!!
