Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sufro la pena de verte partir y amo la dicha del beso fugaz
Viene de ti dulce cancion y sobre el mar duele tu voz
Nadie debe llorar por un adios, y yo por ti llorando estoy.
Solo me queda tu recuerdo, lleno de pena y soledad
Yo te quiero a ti, yo te quiero mas, yo te quiero mucho,
Miro la nave que se aleja, triste tan triste como yo,
Nadie debe llorar por un amor y yo por ti llorando estoy.
Solo me queda tu recuerdo, lleno de pena y soledad.
Yo te quiero a ti, yo te quiero mas, yo te quiero mucho,
No me olvides tu porque morira toda mi ilusion.
Miro lo nave que se aleja, triste tan triste como yo,
Nadie debe llorar por un adios y yo por ti llorando estoy.
The lyrics of Juan Vicente Torrealba's song "Por un adios" express the pain of a lover who is watching their beloved leaving. The sorrowful news of the departure reaches the singer's ear as a sad rumor that emerges from the sea. The pain of witnessing the departure is unbearable, and although the singer acknowledges the fleeting moments of bliss that they spent together with their loved one, they cannot help but lament their departure.
In the second stanza, the song speaks of a sweet song that comes from the departed lover's voice, causing an even greater heartache. The singer tries to console themselves, saying that no one should cry over a goodbye, but they still find themselves shedding tears for their loved one. The last two stanzas repeat the same verse, emphasizing the weight of the memory of the departed one and the inevitability of the singer's tears.
Overall, "Por un adios" portrays the agony of separation and the enduring pain that comes with the absence of a person who was deeply cherished. The conflicting emotions of love and pain convey the message that parting with someone we love can never be easy.
