Que nuestro romance acabaría
No me digas nada no quiero más palabras
Porque aún siendo tuyas me lastiman
No me digas nada y márchate
No llames amor a tu hipocresía
No me digas nada, el tonto aquí he sido yo
Me dañaron rosa tus espinas
Lluvia (lluvia) tus besos fríos como la lluvia
(Lluvia) que gota a gota fueron enfriando
(Lluvia) mi alma mi cuerpo y mi ser
Lluvia (lluvia) tus manos frías como la lluvia
(Lluvia) que día a día fueron enfriando
(Lluvia) mi ardiente deseo y mi piel
Ahora tengo que olvidar
Ahora tengo que escapar de tus recuerdos
Y tratar de ser feliz con otra
Que no me trate como tú
Y que me ame como tú nunca amarás
No me digas nada y márchate
No llames amor a tu hipocresía
(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na)
Me dañaron rosa tus espinas
Lluvia (lluvia) tus besos fríos como la lluvia
(Lluvia) que gota a gota fueron enfriando
(Lluvia) mi ardiente deseo y mi piel
Lluvia (lluvia) tus manos frías como la lluvia
(Lluvia) que gota a gota fueron enfriando
(Lluvia) mi ardiente deseo y mi piel
Lluvia (lluvia) tus besos fríos como la lluvia
(Lluvia) que gota a gota fueron enfriando
(Lluvia) mi ardiente deseo y mi piel
(Que nos pasó?)
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Chica, mi ambición fue poseerte y quererte
Si, si con mi locura de amarte
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Y derramarme en tu cuerpo
Y siempre amarte, amarte, amarte y amarte
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Yo quería tenerte saciarme de ti y no me dejaste
(Amiga me dejaste con las ganas)
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Tú no has podido quererme
Y simplemente porque no has querido intentarlo
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Yo cabar tus adentros quería
Sin embargo no me comprendías
(Lluvia tus besos fríos como la lluvia)
Trataré de ser feliz con otra
No me digas nada y márchate
The lyrics of Eddie Santiago's song Lluvia are about a love affair ending. The singer addresses his lover, asking her not to say anything because he already knows that their romance is over. He doesn't want to hear any more words from her because they will only hurt him more. He tells her to leave and not to call her hypocrisy love. He admits that he was the fool in the relationship, and her thorns hurt him like a rose. The song is about the pain of lost love and the need to move on.
The chorus uses rain as a metaphor for the coldness of the lover's kisses and hands. The singer's desire and passion are slowly cooled by each raindrop, and he is left with a need to forget and find happiness with someone who will treat him better. The song ends with the singer saying that he will try to be happy with someone who doesn't treat him like his former lover did.
