Maletas del viaje
Francisco Victoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para empezar
Sé que tenemos algo
Y esta amistad
Ves que no da?
Ves dónde va llegando?
Mientras tanto te miento a la cara
Me asesina mirarte hasta hoy
No desarmo maletas del viaje
El que hicimos al sur tú y yo
Y después de quitarme esta carga
Sólo queda pedirte perdón
Despedirme de un beso en la cara
Y sacarte de mi corazón
Antes de ayer
Los vi pasar
Y me prometí enterrarte
Si después de todo lo que yo te di
Tú vuelves con una mujer
Que te lleva a sufrir
Mientras yo
Te dejo el corazón caer
Y no lo quieres recibir
Ves que quieres sufrir?
Mientras tanto te miento a la cara
Me asesina mirarte hasta hoy
Y desarmo maletas del viaje
El que hicimos al sur tú y yo
Y después de quitarme esta carga
Sólo queda pedirte perdón
Despedirme de un beso en la cara
Y sacarte de mi corazón
The lyrics of Francisco Victoria's song "Maletas del viaje" delve into the emotions and reflections of a person caught in the complexities of a relationship.
In the first stanza, the singer acknowledges the existence of something between them, possibly a romantic connection, but questions if their friendship alone is not enough. He wonders where this path they are on is leading them, expressing a desire for clarity and honesty about the other person's intentions.
The chorus reveals a sense of internal conflict. The singer confesses to lying and hiding his true feelings in front of the other person, suggesting that seeing them is both painful and captivating for him. The metaphor of not unpacking the baggage from their journey in the south implies that they are holding onto the memories and experiences they shared, unable to move on.
The second stanza continues with the theme of burden and regret. The singer feels the weight of the emotional baggage and seeks a chance to apologize. He describes farewell through a kiss on the cheek, symbolizing closure and the need to remove the other person from his heart.
In the third stanza, the singer reflects on the recent past, witnessing the other person moving on with someone new. He expresses a mix of anger, bitterness, and disappointment, even contemplating burying the memories they had together. The mention of the woman who brings suffering indicates that the other person's choice has caused pain and confusion.
The final part of the chorus finds the singer still lying to himself, denying the hurt caused by the other person's actions. He questions why he continues to offer his heart, even though it is not being reciprocated. The repetition of the question "Ves que quieres sufrir?" (Do you see that you want to suffer?) reinforces the confusion and frustration the singer feels.
Overall, the lyrics convey the internal struggle of someone hanging onto a past relationship, unable to let go and seeking closure. The emotions range from longing and desire to bitterness and regret, highlighting the complexity of human connections and the difficulty of moving on.
