Puede ser que tengas que esperar
Un dolor no toca a tu puerta a si no más
Hay que salir a recibirlo
Sin pensar cuanto se irá quedar
Y otra vez voy cantando a vocees
Hay una que me falta de verdad
Yo creo que esta agua bastará
Puede ser que venga mañana sin tardar
Puede ser que tengas que esperar
Un dolor no toca a tu puerta a si no más
Hay que salir a recibirlo
Sin pensar cuanto se irá quedar
Y otra vez estoy cantando a vocees
Hay una que me falta de verdad
Lluvia, estoy cantando al cielo
Yo creo que esta agua bastará
Y otra vez voy cantando a vocees
Hay una que me falta de verdad
Lluvia, estoy cantando al cielo
Yo creo que esta agua
Yo creo que esta agua bastará
Lluvia
in Federico Aubele's song can be interpreted as a metaphor for pain or difficult times that may come unexpectedly in life. The lyrics suggest that pain doesn't come knocking on the door, but we have to go out and face it head-on. The lines "Hay que salir a recibirlo, Sin pensar cuanto se irá quedar" can be translated to "We must go out to meet it, not thinking about how long it will stay." The song advises to be ready to face any pain that may come our way and not to procrastinate.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of "Lluvia, estoy cantando al cielo, Yo creo que esta agua bastará" which can be understood as a call to the rain to wash away the pain. The rain is often associated with the cleansing of the soul or washing away our troubles. There is a sense of hope that this rain will be enough to wash away any pain that comes our way. The song's overall message seems to be about resilience and how we should prepare ourselves to face adversity.
