Fortaleza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por marcharme y no volver
En mi partida dejo cosas para ti
Una mirada llorosa un vacío en el espejo
Donde miraste buscando alguien ahí.
¿Cómo encontrar? ¿Dónde hay un lugar?
Dónde tú estés esperando
Llenar un hueco en mi alma.
La tristeza de saber
Que algún día olvidarás
Cómo sonaba mi voz
Un nudo en la garganta
Por no poderlo entender
No queriendo remediarlo
Si no saber por qué.
Dulce melodía no puedo olvidar
Ronda mi cabeza y mi corazón
Un escalofrío ahoga mi ser
No remediar, si no saber por qué.
Las noches cuando estés sola
No llores por mi, las estrellas brillarán por ti
Camina bajo la lluvia, limpiará tu alma
Se irá el dolor de tu corazón.
Siempre hay una sonrisa cerca del fin
Si no es feliz aun no es el final.
The lyrics of Fortaleza's song Requiem speak to the pain of leaving someone and the sadness that comes with realizing that soon, the memory of the departed will fade away. The first stanza asks the listener not to hold a grudge against the person leaving, despite the hurt they may have caused. In leaving, they have left behind certain things, such as a tearful gaze or an empty reflection in the mirror, and the singer wonders if those signs of sadness will be noticed or if they will be forgotten.
The second stanza grapples with the overwhelming loneliness that comes with leaving someone behind. The singer asks where they will find a place in which they feel wanted and loved once more. They wonder how to overcome the empty feeling inside and fill the void in their soul. The sadness of remembering that one day, the memory of their voice will also fade away haunts them and the thought is suffocating.
The final stanza is perhaps the most hopeful, as the singer urges the listener to keep moving forward, even if they are alone. They pledge that the stars will shine for the listener, providing comfort and light. The singer encourages the listener to walk in the rain, as it can cleanse the soul and ease the pain in one's heart. They also remind the listener that no matter how tough things get, a smile is still just around the corner - they only need to keep looking.
