Postales
Federico Aubele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y las luces brillan mas allá
El sabor de mil besos
Que aun me hacen reír y hablar
Nada más, nada queda
Solamente tu risa en el bar
Postales, que se suceden sin cesar
Tu aroma, dulce melodía
Aun tiene un lugar
Del recuerdo que es donde todo
(Sucede, otra vez)
Nada más, nada queda
Solamente tu risa en el bar
Postales, que se suceden sin cesar
Nada más, nada queda
Solamente tu risa en el bar
Postales, que se suceden sin cesar
Nada más, nada queda
Solamente tu risa en el bar
Postales, que se suceden sin cesar
(La la la la la la la la ra)
In Federico Aubele's song "Postales," the lyrics express a nostalgic yearning for a past love.

The memory of their kisses still makes the singer laugh and talk, something that still has power over them even though they are no longer together.
The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment that nothing else remains besides the memory of their laughter in the bar where they used to spend time together. The postcards referred to in the lyrics could symbolize the memories of their time together that are constantly replaying in the singer's mind, like a never-ending series of postcards that capture moments that will never happen again.
Overall, "Postales" is a wistful and bittersweet song that captures the feeling of longing for a past love and reminiscing about the happiness that was once shared. The lyrics are poignant and evocative, and the melody adds to the dreamy and nostalgic feeling of the song.
