Cerca de ti
Cristina Narea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando el aire se acerca yo respiro
y me dejo ver
tengo los ojos abiertos
y la suerte rondeándome
cuando el sol aparece
se saludan todos a la vez
cuando el día a mediodía
me da todo para recoger
siento toda la vida toda,
toda toda grande como es
porque el día comienza y termina para prometer
que el amor es posible
sólo cuando se deja querer
Y es que tu eres igual aunque tan diferente
para qué preguntarme de dónde vienes
somos un animal que se parece
y estoy tan cerca de ti tan cerca de ti
como el tiempo a la nube
le da lo que quiere y llover
es un día mojado que me cala
hasta ya no poder
verlo todo más claro
verlo todo casi igual que ayer
con lo bueno y lo malo y por dentro desnudándome
Y es que tu eres igual aunque tan diferente
para qué preguntarme de dónde vienes
somos un animal que se parece
y estoy tan cerca de ti tan cerca de ti
The lyrics to Cristina Narea's song "Cerca de Ti" speak about the feeling of being close to someone and the beauty of life. The first verse speaks about how the singer is open and receptive to life, and feels lucky to be breathing in the same air as the person she's waiting for. The second verse speaks about the feeling of being fully alive in the middle of the day, when the promise of love is possible if one is open to it. The chorus speaks about how even though the person she's close to may be different from her, they are both animals and there is a connection between them.
The third verse speaks about the changing nature of life, using the metaphor of the weather changing from sunny to rainy. The rain penetrates the singer to her core, but she still sees everything as it was the day before, with its good and bad aspects. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the idea that even though there may be differences between people, there is still a connection that can be felt.
