Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nueces
Coti
Él era solo un niño
de trenes sin destíno
buscaba su camino why de repente
algo cambio su vida en la estación

Allí estaba ella

muñeca con pulseras
con flores en el pelo why la sonrísa
cubriendole la cara en el bagón

Cuantos dias, cuantos meses, cuantos años
esperando que la vida
lave todo el desengaño

cuantos días, cuantas nueces, veinte años
separados no lograron
apagar ese amor, ese amor

Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh

Pero llegaron tiempos
oscuros why violentos
why que toda la vida era un callejón
que no tenía salída, solo desolación
Ella partio deprisa
volo como una brisa
huyendo de esos días why él no comprendío
por que estalló en pedazos su corazón

Cuantos días, cuantos meses, cuantos años
esperando que la vida
lave todo el desengaño

cuantos días, cuantas nueces, veinte años
separados no lograron
apagar ese amor, ese amor

Pero un día se encontraron
como trenes de ida why vuelta en el andén
se abrazaron, se besaron
why todo empezó de nuevo otra vez

Cuantos días, cuantos meses, cuantos años
esperando que la vida
lave todo el desengaño
cuantos días, cuantas nueces, veinte años

separados no lograron
apagar ese amor, ese amor

Overall Meaning

The song Nueces by Coti tells the story of two people who meet as children in a train station, but are separated due to the hardships of life. The first verse introduces the boy as someone wandering aimlessly before he meets the girl. Their meeting is described as something that changes his life, as she is adorned with bracelets and flowers, and has a bright smile. The chorus then questions how many days, months, and years will it take for life to wash away disillusionment, suggesting that the boy has been waiting a long time for something to happen.

The second verse talks about how the dark and violent times that the pair experienced caused the girl to leave suddenly, leaving the boy heartbroken and without understanding why she had to go. But they eventually meet again after many years, with the lyrics comparing them to “trains of comings and goings”. The song ends with a repeated chorus of how many days, how many nuts, and twenty years separated did not extinguish the love that they had for each other.

The lyrics of this song evoke deep emotions and longing for the love that they have lost but have found once again. The use of railway imagery is poignant as it represents journeys, departures and arrivals, and how the two characters eventually meet again as though they are on a circular journey. The song is a testament to the persistence of love even in the most difficult of circumstances.
