Bambola Crudele
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un giorno in più che tu non sei con me
Non mi concentro e penso solo a te.
Devo piantarla se no che vita è
Voltati e guarda la confusione che c´è.
Se qui c´è il mio corpo,
Cosa ne faccio se il tuo corpo non c´è?
Se qui c´è un ricordo,
Che sogno abbraccio al mattino alle tre?

Se qui c´è il mio nome,
Su quale bocca avrà la stessa ironia?
Che fa capire anche al vento
Quanto crudele sia la bambola mia.
Se qui c´è il mio sangue,
Per cosa è pronto se non c´è gelosia?
Raccontami a chi lo racconto...
...Piove per noi, piove sul nostro addio,
Ma come vedi mi bagno solo io.

Vengo a cercarti con l´anima in apnea,
Sentirsi persi quarda i disastri che crea...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enrique Iglesias's "Bambola Crudele" describe the singer's intense longing for his lost love. He cannot focus on anything else because all he can think about is her. He knows he has to move on, but he can't seem to let go. He wonders what the point of life is without her. He describes the confusion and chaos that surrounds him and compares it to the cruelty of his own emotions.

The singer describes how even though his body is present, it means nothing without her, and he questions what he can do with a mere memory. He asks whose lips will utter his name with the same irony and bitterness as hers once did. He talks about how his blood, which was once full of passion and jealousy, is now useless without her. He's lost and doesn't know where to turn or to whom he can turn to tell his story.

In the chorus, he talks about how it's raining on their goodbye, but only he is getting wet. He has come to search for her with his soul, but he feels lost and doesn't know where to go. The lyrics are deeply emotional and paint a vivid picture of the singer's pain and longing for his lost love.
