Como Llenar Mi Tiempo
Jose Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Con qué placer?
¿Qué deseo del alma nacerá sin ti?
¿Qué lugar del espacio cruzaré
si no lo llenas tú?
Ese lecho de amor que un día fue
será un lugar vacío si no estás.
Y tú y yo...
Seremos dos amantes fracasados,
dos corazones rotos,
dos aromas secretos
al aire derramados.
Seremos dos deseos
apagados
¿Cómo escuchar tus pasos si se van?
¿Con qué dolor?
¿Cómo decir "te quiero" si no estás aquí?
¿En qué abrazo desnudo dormiré
si no me abrazas tú?
Ese fuego de amor que un día fue
será un fuego extinguido si no estás.
Y tú y yo...
Seremos dos amantes derrotados,
dos besos malheridos,
dos caminos sin rumbo
y hacia ninguna parte.
Dos perfumes de olvido
en el aire.
Seremos dos amantes fracasados,
dos corazones rotos,
dos aromas secretos
al aire derramados.
Seremos dos deseos
apagados.
The lyrics of Jose Luis Perales's song "Como Llenar Mi Tiempo" express the feelings of emptiness and longing that fill the singer's life in the absence of his beloved. The song is structured around a series of questions addressed to the absent lover, each one emphasizing the void left by their absence. The first set of questions asks how the singer can find pleasure and fulfillment in life when the person he loves is not there to share it with him. The second set of questions focuses on the pain of separation and the impossibility of expressing the depth of his feelings without his lover's physical presence.
The imagery used in the song is very powerful, with each question painting a vivid picture of the singer's sense of loss. He wonders what will become of the space they once shared, the bed where they made love, and the fire of passion that once burned between them. Without his beloved, all of these things will be empty and meaningless, leaving the singer adrift and alone.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer and his lover will become "two lovers defeated", their broken hearts and shattered dreams lingering like forgotten perfumes in the air. The song ends on a note of resignation and sadness, suggesting that the singer will never be able to fill the void left by his lover's absence.
