Confesiones
Daniela Bascopé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es cultivo de algo grande
Como hambre de mendigo
Soy testigo es inquebrantable
Palabra y verso que no asumo
Y consumo de mi arte
De mirarte y no hablarte
Y yo aquí prendida
De tu mundo tu alegría
Cavo y clavo tu sendero
Y me quedo sin tu voz
Y cualquier día de estos
Si tu quieres te regalo el secreto
Confesiones a tu nombre
No hay misterios que te asombren
Y cualquier día de estos
Si tu quieres te regalo estos versos
Confesiones a tu nombre
Quiero irme; no sé a dónde.
Un día casi te lo digo
Me reprimo y me aguanto
Cuánto llanto que no olvido
Los amigos no andan escondidos
Y así entre versos oportunos,
Taciturnos y disfraces
Sin tocarse estoy tranquila
Porque sé que ya lo sabías.
Y cualquier día de estos
Si tu quieres te regalo el secreto
Confesiones a tu nombre
No hay misterios que te asombren
Y cualquier día de estos
Si tu quieres te regalo estos versos
Confesiones a tu nombre
Quiero irme; no sé a dónde.
The lyrics of Daniela Bascopé's "Confesiones" describe the inner turmoil and struggle of the singer, who holds back their true emotions and feelings for someone they care deeply for. The first line speaks to the secrets the singer possesses, those that they keep hidden as if nurturing something significant or meaningful. The next line, "Como hambre de mendigo," compares this unspoken desire to the hunger of a beggar, implying that this longing is insatiable and consuming.
The singer talks about words and verses they cannot express, and how they are a part of their art, implying that their struggle to speak their truth is integral to their artistic process. They mention how they cannot help but look at the person they are talking to but don't dare to speak to them, indicating the power this person holds over the singer. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has already revealed their feelings in some way, and the person they are speaking to already knows.
Despite the struggle, the singer is willing to confess their love to the person, with the triumphant and hopeful line "No hay misterios que te asombren," suggesting that the person will not be surprised by their confession. The singer yearns to express their feelings completely and leave, but they are unsure of where to go. Altogether, "Confesiones" depicts a complicated emotional landscape, where the singer wants to share their love but feels trapped by their emotions.
