Los celos
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Parece que fue ayer
Cuando se llevo el cielo
Adolescentes golondrinas de barrio.
Amantes a escondidas de 7 a 9
Dibujantes furtivos en las paredes.

Se juraron amor en la guerra y la paz
En lo malo y lo bueno hasta la eternidad
Ella aprendio a cantar una cancion de cuna
"Nana lunita luna, mi niño duerme ya".

Los celos rondaban por la casa
Pensaba el, le quiere mas que a mi
Y poco a poco, se le apago la luna
Mientras ella cantaba una cancion
De cuna.

Cuando aprendio a volar volò por la ventana
Los dos quedaron desnudos frente al fuego
Desnudos de caricias y de ternura
Desnudos de palabras y de cariño.

Se lo ha llevado èl pensaron sin hablar
Mirando a la ventana abierta frente al mar
De tanto amarle a èl olvidaron amarse
Es tarde para un beso tarde para empezar.

Los celos rondaban por la casa
Pensaba el, le quiso mas que a mi
Y poco a poco, se le apago la luna
Mientras ella cantaba esa cancion
De cuna.

Los celos flotaban por la casa
Pensaba el, le quiso mas que a mi
Y poquito a poco, se le apago la luna




Mientras ella cantaba una cancion
De cuna.

Overall Meaning

The song "Los celos" by Isabel Pantoja tells the story of a couple who are deeply in love with each other. They fell in love when they were adolescents, forming a secret romance and drawing on the walls in their neighborhood. They swore their love to each other and promised to stay together through thick and thin. The woman learned a lullaby to sing to their child, "Nana lunita luna, mi niño duerme ya". However, as time went by, jealousy began to consume the man's heart. He believed the woman loved their child more than she loved him, and this led him to become more and more insecure. Eventually, their love for each other began to wane, and they became strangers to each other, devoid of the affection and warmth they once shared.

The song ends with the realization that their love was true but it was too late for them to rekindle the spark of their relationship.

Eso sucede. Los hombres no entienden que los hijos son lo más Preciado. Por algo estuvieron en nuestro vientre. Se les ama con el corazón y las entrañas❤
