Volver
Eugenia Leòn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De las luces que a lo lejos
Van marcando mi retorno
Son las mismas que alumbraron
Hondas horas de dolor
Y aunque no quise el regreso
Siempre se vuelve al primer amor
La quieta calle donde el eco dijo
Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer
Bajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
Que con indiferencia hoy me ven volver
Volver con la frente marchita
Las nieves del tiempo platearon mi sien
Sentir que es un soplo la vida
Que veinte años no es nada
Que febril la mirada
Errante en la sombra te busca y te nombra
Vivir con el alma aferrada
A un dulce recuerdo que hoy lloro otra vez
Tengo miedo del encuentro
Con el pasado que vuelve
A enfrentarse con mi vida
Tengo miedo de las noches
Que pobladas de recuerdos
Encadenan mi soñar
Pero el viajero que huye
Tarde o temprano detiene su andar
Y aunque el olvido que todo destruye
Haya matado mi vieja ilusión
Guardo escondida una esperanza humilde
Que es toda la fortuna de mi corazón
The lyrics of Eugenia Leòn's song "Volver" speak about the singer's longing to return to their first love. The first verse describes the flickering lights in the distance that mark their return, the same lights that once illuminated hours of pain. Despite not wanting to go back, they realize that they always end up returning to their first love.
The second verse describes the quiet street where the echo declares that their life and love belong to someone else. The stars mockingly observe their return with indifference.
The chorus reflects on the singer's aged appearance and the ephemeral nature of life. They feel that twenty years is nothing and their passionate gaze searches and calls out for their first love. They live with their soul clinging to a sweet memory that they weep for once again.
The third verse expresses the singer's fear of confronting the past as it returns to their life. They fear the nights filled with memories that chain their dreams. However, they recognize that just like a traveler, they will eventually pause their journey. Despite the destructive power of forgetfulness, they hold onto a humble hope that is the only fortune of their heart.
Overall, "Volver" is a poignant song that delves into the theme of nostalgia, lost love, and the bittersweet nature of returning to one's past.
