Hoy
Gonzalo Aloras Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy me dejaste, no puedo ni hablar
Hoy decidí que debía aceptarlo
Hoy vi tus ojos en la oscuridad
Hoy fui tu adiós en la cama
Ya no hay mas que hablar

Mientras cae el sol
Mientras pienso en vos

Hoy me tomé algunos tragos y pensé
Cómo sería mi vida, que insensatez
Hoy me enamoro de tu libertad
Y ya no te tengo, que estúpido, y más allá

Siempre sale el sol
Siempre pienso en vos

Y si alrededor, te abraza el amor
Amar es este sueño despiadado
Y hoy, te fuiste y hoy vuelvo a cantar
Este mi tango, hermoso y fatal
Y hoy aquí espero a que te dejes llevar




Y te amo y te odio
Hoy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gonzalo Aloras's song "Hoy" narrate the feelings of a person who has been left by their significant other. The first two lines, "Hoy me dejaste, no puedo ni hablar/Hoy decidí que debía aceptarlo" suggest that the singer has recently been abandoned and is struggling to come to terms with the situation. In the following lines, "Hoy vi tus ojos en la oscuridad/Hoy fui tu adiós en la cama/Ya no hay mas que hablar", the singer recalls their last intimate encounter with their partner and acknowledges that there is nothing left to say or do to change the situation.


The chorus, "Mientras cae el sol/Mientras pienso en vos/Siempre sale el sol/Siempre pienso en vos" is a reflection of how the singer's thoughts constantly revolve around their former lover. The second verse, "Hoy me tomé algunos tragos y pensé/Cómo sería mi vida, que insensatez/Hoy me enamoro de tu libertad/Y ya no te tengo, que estúpido, y más allá" suggests that the singer may have tried to drown their sorrows in alcohol, but ultimately realizes the futility of the situation. They acknowledge the irony of falling in love with their partner's freedom now that they no longer have them.


The bridge, "Y si alrededor, te abraza el amor/Amar es este sueño despiadado/Y hoy, te fuiste y hoy vuelvo a cantar/Este mi tango, hermoso y fatal/Y hoy aquí espero a que te dejes llevar/Y te amo y te odio/Hoy" portrays the singer's conflicting emotions of love and hate towards their partner. They acknowledge the cruel irony of love, the fact that it can feel like a beautiful and fatal dream. The final line, "Y hoy aquí espero a que te dejes llevar/Y te amo y te odio/Hoy" suggests that the singer is still hoping that their partner will return, despite their mixed emotions.
