Kalimba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nuestros sueños ya perdieron su color
dices que haz buscado en mi mirada una esperanza
una palabra que nos salve del dolor
y es verdad no es normal pero debes saber
si te vas se me cae el cielo
tan cansando de este frio
quedate sin ti no puedo
eres todo lo que tengo, yo no puedo solo
llevate este silencio, desdibuja todo el miedo
yo no puedo solo, sacame de aqui
salvame de mi, rescatame que yo no puedo solo
dices que no siento que perdi mis sentimientos
que mis brazos extraviaron su calor
se que poco a poco fui borrando te tus ojos
las promesas que creaban mi ilusion
y es verdad lo hice mal pero debes saber
si t vas se me cae el cielo
quedate sin ti no puedo
eres todo lo que tengo, yo no puedo solo
llevate este silencio, desdibuja todo el miedo
yo no puedo solo, sacame de aqui
salvame de mi, rescatame que yo no puedo solo
tan cansado de este frio,
quedate sin ti no puedo
eres todo lo que tengo, yo no puedo solo
llevate este silencio, desdibuja todo el miedo
yo no puedo solo, sacame de aqui
salvame de mi, rescatame que yo no puedo solo
The lyrics of Kalimba's song "Kalimba" are about a man who feels lost without the love of his partner. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the relationship, but cannot imagine living without her. The man is aware that his partner thinks he does not understand her anymore and that his kisses are like winter, which are cold and unwelcoming. He knows that their dreams had lost their essence, and they are now left with pain and hopelessness.
The song talks about the struggles of the man as he tries to fix their relationship. He asks his partner not to give up on him and to stay with him. He cannot forsake the love she has given him, and she is everything he has ever wanted. He pleads with her to rescue him from his inner turmoil, heal him of his fears, and save him from the feeling of being alone. The lyrics are poetic and express genuine emotions that anyone who has ever been in love can relate to.
