Sentimiento
Christian Meier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hace mucho tiempo que dejé de recordar
Lo que sentí esa mañana
Cuando nada era igual que hoy
Y aunque recién despierto no he podido olvidar
Aquella sensación temprana
Que me hizo preparar
A que un sentimiento viene
Por que nadie lo detiene
Pude sorprenderme al verlo crecer

Es que un sentimiento fluye
Y si nada lo destruye
Puede ser que llegue a ser lo que soñé.
Hoy he despertado señalando ese lugar
Donde aprendía a sentir sus besos
Escondido frente al mar
Y aunque aprendí a llevar la angustia
No me pude acostumbrar a despedirme del hechizo
Cada noche al final
Y si tanto la he soñado
Es por que me he enamorado
Quedan sentimientos para escoger
Debo haberlo merecido
Cada noche la he sufrido
Tengo la respuesta que muy tarde usé.

Hoy desde la orilla la he podido divisar
En la gran barca de mis sueños
Que me hizo encallar
Y aunque me llame mar adentro
No me quiero olvidar
Que soy el faro de mi puerto
Y ya tengo a quien cuidar
Ahora tengo el sentimiento
Sólo que lo llevo adentro
En algún momento debe renacer

Es que un sentimiento fluye




Y si nada lo destruye
Puede ser que llegue a ser lo que soñé

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Christian Meier's song Sentimiento are about the ebb and flow of emotions and how they can take hold of us, often without warning or explanation. The singer begins by saying that he cannot remember a time when he did not have feelings, but that he cannot recall the specific emotion he felt one particular morning. He notes that everything was different then, and that he was somehow prepared for the arrival of a new feeling. He recognizes that emotions can be unstoppable, and that they can grow and develop quickly.


The second verse describes the singer's experiences with love and loss. He remembers a place where he learned how to feel, and though it was a happy time, he could not become accustomed to saying goodbye to the magic he felt at night. He suggests that he must have deserved to feel pain every night, because he allowed himself to love deeply. However, he has now found a new reason to live, and though he carries his feelings inside, he knows that they will continue to grow and change.


Overall, the song is a meditation on the nature of feelings and how they can shape our lives. It reminds us that emotions are unpredictable and powerful, but also that they can inspire us to be better people.
