La Derecha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La salsa adorna el plato
No puedo ser yo el que manda
O el que recibe ciertas flores
Amar, soñar, cantar
Que nadie note que son las doce
Que haremos cuando llegue el momento de decir:
"eres mi tormento, necesito tiempo y condimento"?
Amar, soñar, cantar
Que nadie note que son las doce
Ser amante es tan literal…
La cama, la hora, la duda, la espera, la vuelta al planeta
Amar, soñar, cantar
Que nadie note que son las doce
The lyrics to La Derecha's song "Las Doce" tell a story of intense emotions and the fear of revealing them. The song starts with the image of an open door and a decorative plate of salsa, perhaps suggesting a scene of a party or gathering. The singer admits that they cannot be the one in charge or the one to receive certain flowers, implying a lack of control in a situation, perhaps a romantic relationship.
The chorus speaks of love, dreaming, and singing, with the refrain "que nadie note que son las doce" ("so that no one notices it's already midnight"). This line could represent the fear of time running out, of not having enough time to express one's feelings or to live fully.
The second verse brings up the question of what to do when one can no longer hold on, and when it becomes necessary to speak the truth. The use of the words "tormento" (torment) and "condimento" (condiment) adds a sense of urgency and necessity to the situation.
The final verse speaks of the experience of being a lover, with its literal and emotional connotations, including doubt, waiting, and the feeling of circling back to the start. The song ends with the chorus once more, emphasizing the importance of love, dreams, and music.
