Llora
Cecilia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En un portal de sombras viejas
Llueven penas nuevas
Tira, tira que tira de su falda
Hasta los huesos cala el agua
La mentira hasta el alma llega.
Sentada en la escalera
Esperando sueña
Dueña de su propia vida
Una muñeca triste
Una sonrisa rota
Ve como el tiempo pasa
Y nadie baja a su encuentro
Llueve desde dentro
Está lloviendo fuera
Llora, una mujer tan cansada
Con las paredes frías habla
De su vida seca
Tira, tira que tira de su alma
que por los suelos se arrastra
Le pesan tanto las penas nuevas
Sentada en la escalera
Esperando sueña
Soñando espera tan siquiera
Dueña de su propia vida
Una muñeca triste
Una sonrisa rota
Que como el tiempo pasa
Y nadie baja a su encuentro
Llueve desde dentro
Está lloviendo fuera
In "Llora," Cecilia paints a vivid picture of a woman who is tired, burdened, and alone. The song starts with imagery of the woman dragging her tired feet on the ground, wanting to find refuge in a dark portal. However, she is met with new sorrows and pain. The rain that penetrates through her clothes reaches deep into her soul, highlighting the depth of the emotional weight she carries. The lyrics suggest that she is waiting at the stairs, dreaming and hoping for a better life, but feeling powerless against the sadness that continues to ravage her.
As the song progresses, we see a woman who is emotionally and spiritually bankrupt, seeking solace in her cold, sequestered corner. The walls around her seem to speak to her, and she responds with her own stories of a life lived without passion, love or joy. The woman feels weighed down by her own tears, and she is dragging her soul on the floor, barely holding on to her spirit. Her life is a dry meaningless one, and the weight of new sorrows continues to add to her already perilous burden. The song depicts the stark realities of life, the loneliness, and the pain that one may endure as they try to navigate their journey.
Overall, "Llora" depicts the struggle of a woman who is desperately trying to hold onto hope in a world that is cold and unforgiving. The imagery of the rain and sadness becoming internal and external shows that despair and sadness can eventually consume one's soul.

Hasta los huesos cala el agua
The water seeps into her bones

A sad doll
Una sonrisa rota

Y nadie baja a su encuentro
And no one comes down to meet her

It rains from within
Está lloviendo fuera
It's raining outside
