Arboles de agua
Buika concha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Árboles de agua sobre el río lloran
Lagrimas de lluvia imploran
La tierra no bebe desde que te fuiste
Ni un beso me diste

El camino blanco que lleva a tu casa
Sigue tan vació, nadie pasa
Tan sólo algún niño perdido jugando
Como te extraño

Son tus caricias, las que cambiaron mi vida
Pero es tu ausencia la que domina mi pensamiento
Y por las noches baila mi mente con tu recuerdo
De madrugada, soñándote volverás mañana

Me ha dicho la luna que una vez te vieron
Ibas de la mano de otro caballero
Condenada luna seguro mentía
Tú sólo eres mía

Y si el viento pasa y el agua no llega
Y el árbol se muere y el río se seca
Seguiré esperando, sola en el desierto
Como te quiero

Son tus caricias, las que cambiaron mi vida
Pero es tu ausencia la que domina mi pensamiento
Y por las noches baila mi mente con tu recuerdo
De madrugada, soñando que volverás mañana
Soñando que tu volverás mañana





Árboles de agua, sobre el río lloran

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Buika Concha’s song, Árboles de agua, are full of complex emotion and poetic imagery. The song begins with a description of trees weeping over the river, their tears like rain begging for the earth to drink. The singer laments the absence of their lover, who has left without even giving them a kiss. They describe the empty path leading to their lover’s house, which is now only occasionally visited by lost children playing. The singer expresses how much they miss their lover, with whom they shared life-changing moments. However, now it is the lover’s absence that has come to dominate their thoughts. Even in their dreams, they cling to the hope of the lover’s return.


The chorus of the song repeats the same lyrics, emphasizing the symbolic meaning of the trees crying over the river. The singer then imagines a scenario where they heard rumors that their lover had left them for someone else. However, they decide that it couldn't be true and that the moon must have lied. They declare that their lover is theirs alone, and they will continue to wait for them even if the water stops flowing in the river and the trees die. The song ends with the singer dreaming of their lover’s return and repeating the opening lines of the song.


Overall, the song speaks to the pain of waiting for a love that may never return. The trees and the river can be interpreted as symbols of the singer's internal emotions that are overflowing in the absence of their lover. The lyrics are poignant, and Buika Concha's performance brings out the depth of feeling in the words.
