Otra Lágrima
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu vida
Y fue muriendo esa razón,
Por verte
Como callarme sin decir,
No puedo amarte
O acariciar un poco al corazón,
Para tenerte
Que dolor
No siente
Como ese beso que perdió
Sus ganas
No queda sitio a donde ir,
Para encontrarte
No queda nada por hacer
No puedo hacer lo que no es
Para inventarte
Cuando se pierde la ilusión,
Te mata
Cuando se cansa la emoción,
Se muere
Cuando es más largo ese dolor
Se queda el alma en el cansancio de otra lagrima,
Sin fin
Esa mentira que quedo,
Me mata
Toda esa vida que un día fue,
Se muere
Y no hay razón para inventarme
Otra esperanza que no quiere Lo imposible
Y acabar como esta historia que no fue,
Ya para siempre
Fui como un grito que dolor,
No siente
Como ese beso que perdió
Sus ganas
No queda sitio a donde ir,
Para encontrarte
No queda nada por hacer,
No puedo hacer lo que no es,
Para inventarte.
The lyrics of Francisco Céspedes's song "Otra Lágrima" talk about a love that is fading away and how the singer cannot control his feelings anymore. He realizes that his partner's life has been ending for him and the reason behind his love for her was dying as well. The singer expresses his feelings of helplessness and inability to keep loving her while holding back his emotions. Although he wants to hold onto her, there is no place to go to find her or anything to do that could make him invent her again. He understands that when the emotion and enthusiasm for a relationship fade away, it kills the soul of the relationship. As the song's lyrics come to an end, the singer resigns to the fact that his love story is fading, and there is no hope left for him to save it. He lost everything he had and was unable to find a way to bring it back to life.
The song is a beautiful depiction of how we feel when we lose someone and how we try to hold on to them. It's a significant reminder that love can fade away no matter how hard we try to keep it alive. The singer in the song highlights how love is not always easy and can be challenging to hold onto. Francisco Céspedes delivers a powerful message in this song that staying in love takes effort, and if we don't work to keep it alive, it can fall apart quickly. One cannot help but feel deeply moved by the lyrics of the song and the emotions that they evoke.
