La Habitación Roja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
difícil es dormir si no estás a mi lado.
Tuve una pesadilla, era abandonado
en un tiempo y un lugar equivocados.
Y como el viejo cuadro no había cambiado,
y sin embargo yo era todo un anciano.
Hablaba del pasado con nostalgia y ansiado,
Eterna juventud, belleza y plenitud,
haría cualquier cosa por ser siempre joven como tú.
Si eres una imagen vives de las miradas,
si no me miraras yo no sería nada,
pues de tus ojos vivo y en ellos me reflejo,
si no te hablo es porque no puedo.
Eterna juventud, belleza y plenitud,
haría cualquier cosa por ser siempre joven como tú.
Y poder contemplar mi rostro reflejado
en el más bello lago, contar historias de mi pasado.
The song begins with the singer waking up and realizing that everything is clear but difficult to sleep when his lover is not next to him. He then mentions a nightmare where he was abandoned in the wrong time and place. The singer starts reflecting on the past with nostalgia and longing because he has lost his treasure.
The chorus talks about eternal youth, beauty, and fulfillment, something that the singer would do anything to have just like his lover. He acknowledges that his life is incomplete without his lover's gaze as he lives in them and reflects himself. The singer ends the song by expressing his desire to contemplate his reflected face and tell stories of his past while looking at the most beautiful lake.
Overall, the song Polaroid seems to be a thought-provoking love song about the importance of a lover's presence, the longings of the past, and the desire for eternity. It showcases the singer's desire to be young forever and the deep connection he has with his lover.
