No puede Ser
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siento que el alma
Se te escapa cuando
Yo te miro
Y que tu vida sin la mia

No tiene sentido
Siento que nada te interesa
Todo te da igual

Y alguien me dijo

Que seguías recordándome
No puede ser, no puede ser
Pasaron tantos años

Sin volvernos a ver
Que ahora que recuerdo
Nos juramos amor

En una noche clara
De verano se me olvido
Recuerdo que el amor
Era cuestión de dar

Los niños al colegio
Tienen que estudiar
Y así nos prohibieron
El amor no puede ser

Siento que brilla tu mirada
Cuando nos hablamos
Y se sonrojan mis mejillas
Cuando nos cruzamos

Alguien me dijo
Que en tu vida
No eres muy feliz
Y que te vistes de ternura

Recordándome
No puede ser
Se fue pasando el tiempo

Y perdistes tu tren
Tomaste otro camino
De regreso tal vez

Y aquella noche clara
De verano se me olvido
Recuerdo que el amor
Era cuestión de dar

Los niños al colegio
Tienen que estudiar
Y así nos prohibieron
El amor no puede ser
No puede ser

Pasaron tantos años
Sin volvernos a ver
Que ahora que recuerdo
Nos juramos amor

En una noche clara
De verano se me olvido
Recuerdo que el amor
Era cuestión de dar

Los niños al colegio
Tienen que estudiar

Y así nos prohibieron
El amor no puede ser

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Isabel Pantoja's song "No puede Ser" are a reflection on a lost love that cannot be rekindled. The song describes the feelings of two people who were once deeply in love but have been separated for many years. The singer in the song feels that the other person's soul is slipping away, and that their life is without meaning without the singer's presence. The other person seems to have lost interest in everything, and someone has told the singer that the other person is still thinking of them.

Despite these feelings, the singer acknowledges that it cannot be, that too much time has passed and they have missed their chance. There is a sense of regret and loss, that they had once promised each other love on a clear summer night, but now that love cannot be. The lyrics reference the fact that they were prohibited from being together, possibly due to societal norms or parental interference, and now that they are free to pursue their love, it is no longer possible.

The song is a poignant reminder that time and circumstance can change everything, and that sometimes we have to accept that what once was cannot be again. It speaks to the universal theme of love lost, and the bittersweet feelings that come with such a loss.
