Alta Marea
Dyango Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Autopista desierta, por la costa dormida,
El motor de mi mente funciona de prisa.
Cigarrillo tras otro
Y una radio que charla,
Mientras voy conduciendo camino del alba.

Sin ti, sin mi
La vida estorba

Contempla el mundo y se descubre sola,
Esta desnuda, se ve corriendo,
Tras de una sombra...

Vives dentro de mi, subes con la marea
Y me dejas manchado de sal y de brea
Eres todo el misterio, toda la fantasía y el temor
Ha que pueda perderte algún día.

Por ti, por mi,
El tiempo vuela
Mas sin embargo
Sigo en la carretera
Voy repitiendo
Voy confesando
Te quiero tanto...

Vives dentro de mi
Subes con la marea
Y me dejas manchado de sal y de brea
Eres todo el misterio, toda la fantasía y el temor
Ha que pueda perderte algún día.

Por ti, por mi
El tiempo vuela
Mas sin embargo
Sigo en la carretera
Voy repitiendo,
Voy confesando
Te quiero tanto...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dyango's song "Alta Marea" depict a journey on a deserted highway by the sleeping coast while the singer's mind races quickly. He smokes one cigarette after another and listens to a radio talk program while driving towards dawn. The verse "Sin ti, sin mi, la vida estorba" ("Without you, without me, life is a burden") implies that the singer is missing someone special and that life feels worthless without that person. He contemplates the world and discovers its nakedness, running after a shadow, perhaps a metaphor for searching for something unattainable.

The chorus expresses the singer's longing for his significant other. She lives inside him, rises with the tide, and leaves him stained with salt and pitch. She is his entire mystery, all of his fantasy and fear, and the thought of losing her fills him with dread. Despite time flying by, he's still on the road, repeating and confessing his love for her.

The song captures the mood of solitude, yearning, and the overwhelming power of love. It speaks to the romantic in all of us who have experienced the joy and pain of loving deeply.
