Si
Jose Luis Perales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sí, ya sé que no hay amor
Sín soledad
Que a veces las palabras
Se terminan
Que a veces es preciso
Una mentira
Que a veces hay pereza
En nuestras manos

Sí, ya sé que estas cansada
De escuchar
Al viento que al pasar
Por tu ventana
Te dice que vendré
Quizás mañana
Y miras de reojo
Hacia la calle

Sí, sí sí
Te quiero con el corazón
Tú serás para mí
Yo tu amor
Sí sí, sí
Te quiero con el corazón
Tú serás para mí
Yo tu amor

Sí, ya sé que el tiempo
Es algo que se va
Que no lo para
El llanto ni la risa
Que vale mas la luz
De una caricia
Que la esperanza lenta
De unos besos

Sí, ya sé que estás cansada
De esperar
Ya sé que han florecido
Tus mejillas
Ya sé que estas amándome
A escondidas
Ya sé que estas mujer
Enamorada

Sí, sí, sí
Te quiero con el corazón
Tú serás para mí
Yo tu amor
Sí, sí, sí
Te quiero con el corazón
Tú serás para mí
Yo tu amor

Tú serás para mí

Yo tu amor
Sí, sí, sí

Overall Meaning

In José Luis Perales's song "Si," the singer acknowledges the challenges that a relationship may face, including the absence of love and the presence of loneliness. The singer is aware that sometimes words run out, and that it might be necessary to tell a lie or feel lazy. Despite all of this, the singer affirms their love for the person they are addressing, telling them that they will always hold a special place in their heart.

The second verse speaks to the pain of waiting and the constant uncertainty that comes with it. The singer addresses the exhaustion of hearing the passing wind and the hope that maybe, just maybe, things will change tomorrow. The person addressed seems to be hesitant and unsure, casting furtive glances towards the street. However, the singer affirms their love once again and promises to be there for them. The chorus repeats the phrase "te quiero con el corazón" (I love you with my heart) several times, reinforcing the singer's feelings for the person they are addressing.

Overall, "Si" is a song that beautifully captures the complexity of relationships and the challenges that come with loving someone. It acknowledges that relationships are not perfect and that there will be difficult times, but ultimately emphasizes that love is worth fighting for.
