Viernes
El Trio de Omar Rodriguez Lopez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo serio de tu honestidad
me hacen sonreír.
Luces, dioses de la humanidad
juegan con tu voz.
En las nubes nadie sabe
lo que haces para amar así.
Cuánto tiempo faltará
Tu razón y un poco de Portugal
son tu corazón.
Y en tus manos dejo todo lo que haces
para amar así.
Un regalo de mis manos todo lo que haces para amar así.
The lyrics to El Trio de Omar Rodriguez Lopez's song Viernes describe an individual who is described as "descomunal," or extraordinary, due to their serious honesty that makes the singer smile. This person is likened to a god in terms of their humanity and their voice, which appears to hold a special power over those around them. The singer notes that no one in the clouds knows what this person does to love so deeply, but acknowledges that this love may come at a price, as the person may need to ask for forgiveness and learn to accept their own faults. Despite this, the person's heart is described as being rooted in both their reason and a bit of Portugal, perhaps an allusion to the idea that they are both logical and emotionally connected to a specific place.
The final lines of the song express that the singer is leaving everything in this person's hands, entrusting them with all that they do to love so deeply. The idea of a gift being left in someone's hands is powerful, as it suggests a sort of surrender and trust in the other person's ability to handle it with care. Overall, the lyrics to Viernes portray a complex individual who is deeply connected to their emotions and ability to love, but who may also struggle to accept their own faults and seek forgiveness.
