Nostalgias
Iva Zanicchi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero emborrachar mi corazon
para apagar un loco amor
que mas que amor es un sufrir.
Y aqui vengo para eso,
a borrar antiguos besos,
en los besos de otras bocas.

Si su amor fue flor de un dia
porque causa es siempre mia
esta cruel preocupacion.
Quiero por los dos mi copa alzar
para poder asi brindar
por los fracasos del amor.

Nostalgias de escuchar su risa loca
y sentir junto a mi boca, como
un fuego su respiracion.
Angustia de sentirme abandonada
y pensar que otra a su lado, pronto,
pronto le hablara de amor.

Hermano, yo no quiero rebajarme,
ni pedirle, ni llorarle, ni decirle
que no puedo mas vivir.
Desde mi triste soledad,
vere caer, las rosas muertas
de mi juventud.

Hermano, yo no quiero rebajarme,
ni pedirle, ni llorarle, ni decirle
que no puedo mas vivir.
Desde mi triste soledad,




vere caer, las rosas muertas
de mi juventud.

Overall Meaning

The song "Nostalgias" by Iva Zanicchi speaks of a love that has caused the singer great pain and suffering. The lyrics express the desire to drown their sorrows in alcohol in order to forget a love that has become more than love but a source of constant pain. The singer seeks to erase the memories of past kisses by finding solace in the lips of others. The fact that they are willing to drink for two, toasting to the failures of love, points to a deep sense of disappointment, hurt and betrayal.


The nostalgia in the lyrics points to the singer's deep yearning for her lost love despite the anguish that it has caused her. She reminisces about his laughter and the feel of his breath as she imagines him with another woman. However, the chorus of the song communicates a sense of resilience, pride and determination. Despite her deep feelings of hurt, she refuses to lower herself and beg for him to come back, to cry or to say that she can't live without him. She would rather remain in her solitary pain and see her youthful dreams die than plead for a man's affection.
