Azul
Celeste Carballo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olvidé tu nombre
olvidé tu piel, dormía

Y después no pudo
despertarme el sol
hasta pasado el mediodía

Azul, azul,
pero nadie sabía tu nombre
menos yo

Para qué negarlo
es mejor cumplir
tu sueño algún día

Y después no tuve
que luchar con el amor,
el amor

Azul, azul,
pero nadie sabía tu nombre
menos yo

Azul, azul, azul, azul

(algo en el olvido




lejos del amor,
el amor es una cosa distinta).

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Celeste Carballo's song Azul speak about forgetting someone's name and their touch. The singer admits to having slept through the morning and finally waking up in the afternoon. The nameless and faceless person is described as being blue or sad, but the singer is the only one who knows their story. The song suggests that it is better to pursue your dreams and not let love hold you back. This is a reflection on the singer's past and her decision to let go of someone she once knew. The song's final line suggests that love can be forgotten, but it is a different thing altogether.


The lyrics of Azul are simple and poetic, conveying a sense of loss and longing. The singer's voice is sorrowful and reflective, adding to the melancholic tone. The use of the color blue as a metaphor for sadness is common in literature and art, and in this song, it conveys a feeling of isolation and emotional distance. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it is better to move on and pursue your own path than to cling to someone who may not be good for you. The song is ultimately a testament to the singer's strength and resilience in the face of heartbreak.
