Si Algún Día
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que aun querian
si algun dia... mirarnos sin la distancia
donde las dudas se agitan
escaparnos de las sombras,
desandar las tempestades
y encontrando que tus manos
pudieran ser esta mias
descubrieramos que hay vida
mas alla que separados
dolor de tu alma y la mia
si algun dia fuera el dia
que el abismo de mis lagrimas
pudiera besar la herida
ay cuba que grande eres
todos queremos amarte
hoy vives en tantas partes
que al final solo que vivas
sin algun dia
These lyrics describe the desire to be with someone who is distant but still loved. The singer imagines a future where they can finally embrace and look into each other's eyes without any barriers or doubts. They dream of escaping the shadows and storms that have kept them apart and finally holding each other's hands. The idea of being together is so powerful that it is described as discovering a new life beyond the pain and separation they've felt.
The lyrics then shift to a reference of Cuba, possibly suggesting that the song is written for someone who is Cuban or that it is a tribute to the country. The singer expresses admiration for Cuba and how it is loved by so many despite its struggles. The final line, "sin algun dia," which translates to "without any day," can be interpreted as a hopeful message that one day they will be united and no longer have to wait for the right time to be together.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing, hope, and a longing for a future that is free from the obstacles that have kept them apart.
