Mientras llueva
José María Napoleón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquí no sopla el viento, ven;
Dejemos que transcurra el tiempo,
En el reloj marcan las seis.
Sacúdete ese miedo que
Te hace temblar hasta los pies,
Y olvida lo que existe afuera,
Dame, dame de ti;
Toma, toma de mí;
No temas lo que venga, tú
No eres un rato que pase así;
Tú eres lo que yo pretendo
Que vea mis días llegar al fin.
Afuera ya no llueve amor,
Aquí somos uno tú y yo,
Y el ruido de la lluvia cambia
Por el tic-tac de mi reloj.
Corramos son las nueve amor,
Tu pelo todo se enredó,
Los dos miramos al espejo
Y un beso tierno marca el adiós.
Te vas, te vas de mí,
Desde una esquina te veo partir,
No temas lo que venga, tú
No eres un rato que pase así;
Tú eres lo que yo pretendo
Que vea mis días llegar al fin.
The song "Mientras llueva" by José María Napoleón features verses that speak of finding comfort and shelter in a lover's embrace, away from the troubles and fears that plague the world outside. The first few lines liken the rain falling outside to the vagaries and uncertainties of the world beyond, and invite the listener to come inside and let time pass by. As the clock strikes six, the singer urges his partner to shed her fears and anxieties and close her eyes.
The chorus conveys a sense of mutual trust and reciprocity, as the singer asks for and offers himself and his partner to each other without fear of what the future may bring. The lyrics suggest that the love they share is not a fleeting thing that will soon pass, but rather an enduring bond that will see them through the rest of their days. The second verse sees the rain stop and the quiet of their shared space replaced by the ticking of the clock. The two lovers are content to while away the hours together, but as the night wears on, it becomes clear that one of them must leave. The closing lines once again stress the importance of the love they share and the hope that it will endure long after they part ways.
