Canción Para Manuela
Jose Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y se lleno la casa con tu luz
Y acariciamos tu piel suave como una flor
Y nos robaste por primera vez el alma
Y se lleno la casa de muñecos de trapo
Y de cuentos que un día lograras entender
Y de cinco lobitos que tenia la loba
Llegaste ayer como la paz que llega
Y se lleno la casa con tu luz
Y acariciamos tu piel suave como una flor
Y nos robaste por primera vez el alma
Y se lleno la casa de juegos infantiles
Donde vivían juntos un gato y un ratón
Y de los cinco lobitos que tenia la loba
De tanto andar perdidos tan solo quedan dos
Y de los cinco lobitos que tenia la loba
De tanto andar perdidos tan solo quedan dos
Llegaste ayer ligera de equipaje
Y se lleno la casa con tu luz
Y acariciamos tu piel suave como una flor
Y nos robaste por primera vez el alma
The lyrics of José Luis Perales's song, Canción Para Manuela, speak of the arrival of a newborn baby named Manuela. She is described as arriving "ligera de equipaje" (with light luggage) and filling the house with her light. The arrival of Manuela is portrayed as a joyful event that has stolen the hearts of those around her. The lyrics go on to describe the things that were added to the home to accommodate her, such as dolls and children's toys. The song speaks of Manuela as being a peaceful presence, with a soft and gentle touch like that of a flower. The idea is that she has brought a new sense of purpose and joy to the family, and that she is cherished by those around her.
The lyrics also talk about the "cinco lobitos que tenia la loba" (the five little wolves of the wolf) and how only two remain after being lost in their travels. This reference to the traditional Spanish children's song "Los Cinco Lobitos" (The Five Little Wolves) adds a nostalgic touch to the song, and also serves to remind us of the fleeting nature of childhood. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the arrival of Manuela has brought new life to the home, with her presence filling it with joy and happiness.
