Si No Estás
Belén Arjona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te veo volar entre murmullos
Tus manos de agua, por tu cuerpo fluyen ya
Y la noche llegará con sus augurios
Nunca pensé que pudiera perderte
Ángel ahora soledad
Nunca pensé, que pudieras dejarme
No te puedo alcanzar
Y no estás, y el otoño llegará, la lluvia escampará
Y sin ti, es como dejar de sentir
Si no estás, me siento tan sola
¿Por qué te has marchado así?
¿Por qué me has dejado aquí?
Si no estás, mi alma se encoge
Al pensar que muriendo sin ti
Tengo que empezar a vivir
Si no estás...
Se fue sin más, la vida cruje en su elixir
Se empapa el dolor, de tus cenizas
No volverán, aquellos días atrás
Donde tu alma y mi ser estaban unidas
Nunca pensé que pudieras marcharte
Vuelve, ángel guardián
Nunca pensé, no escucharte ni hablarte
Y me rompo y me caigo, y no puedo avanzar
Y no estás, y los años pasarán, las nieves volverán...
Y sin ti, es como dejar de vivir
In Belén Arjona's song "Si No Estás" (If You're Not Here), the artist expresses her pain and loss of a loved one who has left her. The song begins with the plea for the person not to leave, as their departure would bring a feeling of deep loneliness. The person is personified as flying away, and the night arrives with its ominous signs, leaving the singer awash in emotions. She never thought she would lose this person, who was once her "angel," and now they have left, and she can't seem to reach them. The autumn season, marked by the falling of leaves, and rain without the loved one, makes her feel disconnected and numb.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "If you're not here," which reinforces the idea of how unbearable it is to live without this special person's presence. The second verse is more abstract, where the singer is questioning why the person left and the reason for such abrupt leaving. The pain comes once more, and the emotions are intensifying as the person's departure must make her start living without them.
