Marble Arch
Deneuve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nunca nos bajemos en la estación
con nombre de invierno

pasemos de largo verás que así
su sombra no hará más daño

y si te asalta la duda
no te haré caso, no,
sólo te pido que opines
y agarres fuerte de mi mano
para que no se acabe aquí
para que nunca nos rindamos
de lo que dure este viaje, depende ser feliz

Nunca nos bajemos en la estación
con nombre de invierno

y aunque nuestra vida vendrá de un igloo
y nos guste jugar con fuego

tu y yo en este tunel
ya sin aire
para no depender de nadie

Agarra fuerte de mi mano
para que no se acabe aquí
para que nunca nos rindamos
de lo que dure este viaje,
depende ser feliz

Agarra fuerte de mi mano
para que no se acabe aquí
para que nunca nos rindamos
de lo que dure este viaje,
depende ser feliz,
depende ser feliz,




depende ser feliz,
depende ser feliz.

Overall Meaning

In Deneuve's song Marble Arch, the lyrics paint a picture of a couple on a journey together. The first two lines warn against getting off at a station with a winter name and instead suggest passing it by to avoid the shadow it casts. This could represent the idea of staying away from anything that has the potential to bring darkness into their lives. The lyrics go on to encourage the couple to hold on tight to each other and not give up on their journey towards happiness, no matter what obstacles they may face. The tunnel they find themselves in represents a challenging time in their lives where they feel suffocated, but they are determined to make it through alone, without depending on anyone else. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the emphasis on the importance of holding on tight as they continue on their path towards happiness.
