El secreto
La Banderville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Regresar a ese lugar
Al muladar
De solo recordar
Siento que
Todo mi ser desmayará
Que debo guardar
Que me causa una cosquilla estomacal
No preguntes ya no más
Yo no sé
Con qué cara regresaré
Si puedo regresar
Moriré
Por una cólera fatal
Eres como un secreto mortal
Que debo guardar (que debo guardar)
Que me causa una cosquilla estomacal
The lyrics to La Banderville's song "El Secreto" convey a sense of regret and fear in relation to a place and a person. The singer refuses to go back "to ese lugar/ Al muladar" (to that place, to the dump), which seems to represent a dark and shameful period in their life. The memory of it is so strong that it makes them feel like "Todo mi ser desmayará" (my whole being will faint).
The second part of the song focuses on the person that the singer addresses as "Eres como un secreto mortal" (You are like a deadly secret). This person seems to have a hold on the singer, causing them "una cosquilla estomacal" (a stomach tickle), which can be both pleasurable and unsettling. The singer admits to having to keep this person and their relationship a secret, as it could have dire consequences ("que me causa una cosquilla estomacal").
Overall, the song speaks to the complex emotions and relationships that we can have with people and places, with a sense of danger and risk as an underlying theme.
