Bengala Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quisiera no decirte lo que pienso
No se qué puede pasar
Prefiero que no sepas lo que se
De ti y de todos los demás
En caso de que no salgamos vivos
Te pido no reveles la verdad
Lo que paso

A veces te quiero, también
A veces no entiendo porque
A veces que vuelo también
A veces quisiera entender

El tiempo fue cortándonos las alas
No pude irme de aquí
Ahogándonos dejándonos morir
Quisiera no sentir que estamos lejos
Fracaso en el intento de volver otra vez

A veces te quiero, también
A veces no entiendo porque

Ay veces que vuelo también
A veces quisiera entender

Overall Meaning

The song "A veces" by Bengala is a beautiful and reflective piece that deals with the complexities of relationships, dealing with loss and the human experience of love. The first verse starts by saying "Quisiera no decirte lo que pienso" meaning "I would like to not tell you what I think" which suggests the singer is struggling with their thoughts and emotions. They are reluctant to say anything because they are unsure what might happen.

The verse goes on to say "No se qué puede pasar, prefiero que no sepas lo que se" meaning "I don't know what might happen, I'd rather you don't know what I know". The singer is keeping something secret, something they perceive to be the truth that nobody should know. In the event that things go wrong and they don't make it out alive, they ask that the secret be kept safe.

The chorus of the song goes "A veces te quiero, también, a veces no entiendo por qué; a veces que vuelo también, a veces quisiera entender" meaning "Sometimes I love you too, sometimes I don't understand why; sometimes I fly too; sometimes I wish I could understand". The chorus captures that relationship is not always perfect and how people might get confused or doubtful of their emotions.

Overall, this song is a beautiful reflection on human relationships and the complexities that come with them.
