Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es fuego de amor
Luz de mi sol por cal y tierra
Por donde pasas dejas huella

Mujer tu naciste para querer
Has luchado por volver a tu tierra
Y con tu gente
Has vuelto melina alza tus manos
Hacia adiós que el escuche tu vos

Has vuelto melina
Tus ojos reflejan el dolor
Y tu alma el amor

La huella de tu canto hecho raíces
Melina aaa
Y vuelven a reír tus ojos tristes
Melina aaa

Tu vida hay tu razón es tu país
Donde el mar se hizo gris
Donde el llanto ahora es canto





Has vuelto melina

Overall Meaning

The song "Melina" by La Perla Colombiana is an ode to a strong and resilient woman who has returned to her homeland after a long and difficult journey. The first stanza metaphorically likens the woman's love to a fiery light that illuminates everything in its path. The use of the word "fuego" (fire) emphasizes the intensity of her feelings, and "luz de mi sol" (light of my sun) conveys the warmth and radiance of her presence. The second line, "Por donde pasas dejas huella" (Wherever you go you leave a mark), further underscores her impact and influence on those around her.


The following lines are a tribute to the woman's strength and perseverance. She has endured hardships and challenges in order to return to her people and her roots. The line "Has luchado por volver a tu tierra" (You have fought to return to your land) suggests that she has faced obstacles and opposition in her quest to reconnect with her homeland. However, she has overcome these barriers and is now reunited with her community. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Has vuelto Melina" (You have returned, Melina) celebrates her triumphant return.


The final stanza references the woman's singing, which is described as leaving roots wherever she goes. Her voice and her music become a part of the places and people she encounters, and her presence brings joy and laughter to those around her. The final line, "Tu vida hay tu razón es tu país" (Your life, your reason, is your country) emphasizes the importance of her connection to her homeland and the role it plays in defining her identity and purpose.
