Cerrito y Santa Fe
Expulsados Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cae la tarde y crece mi debilidad.
Conmovido por las luces de esta ciudad.
Y todo lo que veo me hace recordar
las tardes que con mi amor solía andar.
Por donde andas amor? Con quien estas?
Yo estoy parado en la esquina donde el tiempo nunca pasará.
Seria más nostalgico si hubiera un mar.
Igual me voy al rio a ahogar mis tristezas.

Detrás de mi los aviones vienen y van
Y yo que no se como olvidarme de ella.
Por donde andarás amor? Con quién estas?
Yo estoy parado en la esquina donde el tiempo nunca pasará.
Debió haber una razón para alejarte de mi.
Debió haber una razón para que dejes de creer en mi.
Debés tener una razón para olvidarte del amor que te di.
Debo volver, ya es tarde aunque nadie me espera.
Eso es lo malo de vivir en soledad.
Siento que cada día es como el anterior,
Es que no hago mas que pensar en ella.
Por donde andarás amor? Con quién estas?
Yo estoy parado en la esquina donde el tiempo nunca pasará.
Debió haber una razón para alejarte de mi.

Debió haber una razón para que dejes de creer en mi.
Debés tener una razón para olvidarte del amor que te di.

The singer is standing on a street corner, overwhelmed by the lights and memories of the city that only remind him of his former love.

The planes flying overhead symbolize feelings of disconnection and distance, as the singer searches for reasons why his love left him.

The emotions evoked by this song are relevant to anyone who has experienced heartbreak, loneliness, or uncertainty. The singer is both resigned to his fate and resistant to it, as the passing of time seems to hold no solace for him. The choice to go to the river to drown his sorrows highlights the desperation of his situation, while the absence of the sea suggests the limitations of his surroundings. Ultimately, the song is a powerful expression of emotion and the human experience of heartbreak.
