Yo Te Perdí Una Tarde De Abril
Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo te perdí una tarde de abril
Y desde entonces soy un lagarto

Quiero vivir en otra ciudad
Por que tu risa ya no está con mi risa

Vete a saber si cuando quieres volver
Lo haces de corazón o por que pesa el dolor





Ven a bailar y si te quieres quedar
Te llevaré hasta el cielo en mi coche

Overall Meaning

The song "Yo te perdí una tarde de abril" is a melancholic ballad about loss and the aftermath of a broken relationship. The song begins with the singer stating that they lost someone one afternoon in April, and since then they have felt like a lizard - small, insignificant, and hiding in the shadows. The imagery employed here is quite powerful, as it suggests that the loss has left the singer feeling vulnerable and insecure.


The second verse reveals that the singer wants to move to another city because the person they lost was a source of happiness and joy, and without them, the singer's own laughter feels incomplete. This verse intensifies the feeling of loss and paints a vivid picture of a person struggling to cope with the absence of a loved one.


The final verse expresses the complexity of the singer's emotions. "Vete a saber si cuando quieres volver / Lo haces de corazón o por que pesa el dolor" suggests that while the singer may want this person back in their life, they are unsure if their return would be out of genuine love or simply the weight of regret and sadness. The closing line "Ven a bailar y si te quieres quedar / Te llevaré hasta el cielo en mi coche" speaks to a desire for reunion, but also hints at a fear that it may be fleeting.
