Cecilia
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y casi nunca piensa como yo
Si tengo hambre busca en la despensa
Y me guisa unos besos con arroz
Cecilia duerme bien acompañada
Porque a menudo la acompaño yo
Cuando se harta de estar enamorada
Mi gozo, mi veneno, mi pasión
Cecilia tiene algunas fantasías
Y algunas fantasías tengo yo
Le cambio las suyas por las mías
Y se hacen realidad entre los dos
Cecilia sabe tanto de mi vida
Porque ha vivido tanto como yo
Cada sábado bronca y despedida
Cada domingo reconciliación
Me gusta hablar con ella sin hablar
Tengo una novia
De buena familia
Con filias y fobias
Cristal y vereda
Tengo en mi cama
Una Venus en llamas
Una duda desnuda
Una mina de seda
Pupele mía
Rayito de sombra
Gatito de alfombra
Palermo y Gran Vía
Mi sueño, mi vigilia
Mi adicción Cecilia
Cecilia busca amores imposibles
Por eso fue posible nuestro amor
Cecilia, tan altiva y tan sensible
Tan diva y tan de nadie como yo
Mi gozo, mi veneno
Mi pasión
Tengo una novia
De buena familia
Con fobias y filias
Cristal y vereda
Tengo en mi cama
Una Venus en llamas
Una duda desnuda
Una mina de seda
Pupele mía,
Rayito de sombra
Gatito de alfombra
Palermo y Gran Vía
Mi sueño, mi vigilia
Mi adicción Cecilia
The song "Cecilia" by Fito Paez is about a complicated and passionate relationship between two people, one of whom is named Cecilia.

They have a tumultuous relationship, with fights on Saturdays and reconciliations on Sundays, but they both seem addicted to each other. The singer describes Cecilia as both proud and sensitive, a diva who belongs to no one but him. Despite her search for impossible love, their love was able to become possible.
The lyrics also describe the singer's other relationships - he has a girlfriend from a good family with whom he can talk but doesn't seem as passionate about, and he has another lover who is fiery and sensual. However, despite these other relationships, it is clear that Cecilia is his true passion and addiction.
Overall, "Cecilia" is a song about a complicated and intense love affair, where both parties bring different elements but can't seem to stay away from each other.
