Tu Sonrisa
Javier Ruibal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lo que prefiero,
sino tu boca segura
que habla sin miedo.
Y vale más un solo beso
que mil palabras:
también tus labios me besan
si tú me hablas.
Hablar como besar,
junta tu boca contra la mía;
pero si has de callar,
con tu sonrisa me bastaría.
Apura que nos saluda la luna
y quiero que se quede entre tu pelo.
Acude si te llamo de una nube,
que haremos el amor a ras del cielo.
Ya me ves,
así perdido paso las horas:
siento que nada es lo mismo
si tú me ignoras.
Y no hay canción
que no me alivie de alguna duda;
no podré encontrar la tuya
si no me ayudas.
In Javier Ruibal's song "Tu Sonrisa", the lyrics express the idea that it's not just the physical appearance of someone's smile that is desirable, but their confident voice that speaks without fear. The singer values the power of one kiss over a thousand words spoken, and expresses that speaking is like kissing, as he desires his lover's mouth against his. However, if she must be silent, her smile is enough for him. The song continues to describe the singer's longing for his lover, as he wishes for the moon to stay in her hair, and for her to appear when he calls her from a cloud so that they can love each other in the sky.
The lyrics show us the deep emotion and passion between two lovers, as well as the subtleties of communication and the many ways in which we express love for each other. The song is a celebration of connection, desire, and the power of love to transcend physical and temporal limitations. It speaks to the universal human experience of love and desire, and the many ways in which we try to express those feelings to the people we care about.
