Morel
Buitres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de la soledad
hay vidas en los espejos
queriendo escapar.
La casa que era mi alma
solo guarda soledad
besos restos de felicidad.
Nada de tí, nada de amor
nada de dicha en el corazón
no mas problemas entre los dos
solo cigarros, tamgo y alcohol.
Espero que abras la puerta
una vez mas
aún brindo con sangre eterna
pero ya no estas.
La casa que era mi alma
tiene almas riendose
soles, lunas, sueños de morel
Nada de tí, nada de amor
nada de dicha en el corazón
no mas problemas entre los dos
solo seguir viviendo.
Llegan las mares y te vuelvo a ver
sangre de tus ojos dicen que estas bien
cuando las luces del cielo se apaguen
voy a decirte que yo no te quise perder.
The lyrics of Buitres's song Morel convey themes of sadness and loss. The opening lines, "El frio cruza los cuartos de la soledad" (the cold crosses the rooms of loneliness), set a melancholic tone for the song. The following line, "hay vidas en los espejos queriendo escapar" (there are lives in the mirrors wanting to escape) creates a sense of trapped spirits yearning for release. The singer then reflects on his own feelings of loneliness, describing how the house that used to be his soul is now only filled with solitude and remnants of happier times.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "nada de ti, nada de amor, nada de dicha en el corazón" (nothing of you, nothing of love, nothing of joy in my heart), emphasizing the sense of loss and emptiness that the singer feels. The verse "Espero que abras la puerta una vez más" (I hope you open the door once again) expresses a vain hope that the person who has left him will return. However, he acknowledges that she is not there anymore, though he continues his habitual drinking and smoking.
In the last verse, the singer's despair reaches a crescendo as he speaks of the tides coming in and the blood in his eyes. But when the lights in the sky go out, he will tell her that he never wanted to lose her. The song ends on a tragic note, suggesting that the singer's sense of loss and loneliness may never be resolved.
