Cinco Farolas
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las lenguas de vecindonas
Porque de sobra ya se
Por quien esta su persona
Cinco luceros azules
Alumbran cinco farolas
Desde su casa a mi casa
Desde su boca a mi boca.
Cinco anitos que me adora
La mala gente que sabe!Que sabe de nuestras cosas.
Si yo se que me quiere, como le quiero
A que darle tres cuartos al pregonero
Desde su puerta misma hasta mi puerta
La vereita verde madre, no crÍa yerba… no crÍa yerba.
Yo no quiero ni saberlo
Vecina, cierre la boca
Y no me venga a decir
Que el va a casarse con otra.
Los cinco anitos cabales
QueriÉndole hora tras hora
Son un cordel en mi cuello
Que la garganta me ahoga.
Con carbones encendidos, que le quemen esa boca
Al que juro tantas veces
Que estaba por mi persona.
Se apagaron las cinco, cinco farolas
Pa que nadie me vea, llorando a solas
Ay que penita madre! madre que pena
La vereita verde, cuaja de yerba
Cuaja de yerba.
The lines in this song, written by Isabel Pantoja, evoke powerful emotions that reflect the human condition of love, pain and jealousy. In the song, the singer talks about how she is aware of the gossip of her neighbors and how their tongues wag about her personal life, but doesn't pay attention to it. She acknowledges that these people know about her relationship, but she still chooses to embrace it. The song then talks about the five blue stars and their luminescence which forms the bright lights of five streetlamps, metaphorically describing the love between the two individuals. The love is so strong that it travels from his house to hers, and they share an unbreakable bond.
Isabel Pantoja then goes on to talk about their relationship, how they have been together for five years, and how much they love each other. She is content with her trust, and her only sorrow is that anyone should be envious of it. She is disturbed by the idea of her lover abandoning her for someone else, and hence urges her neighbor to stop spreading rumors. She feels that the love between her and her lover is so strong that it will survive anything, even if the people interacted negatively and tried to damage the cord. The song ends on a sad note, expressing her hope that the five blue stars shining through five streetlights could extinguish the tears the singer is shedding alone.
