Como El Álamo Al Camino
La Rondalla De Saltillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como el álamo al camino
La estrella al anochecer
Como el sauce lo es al río
Mi amor a tu amor fue fiel

De mi mano caminabas
Por caminos sin hacer
Sin más huellas que mis huellas
Sin más fuerza que mi fe

Y qué pasó de aquel amor
Y qué pasó de nuestro ayer
Que ya no puedo estar sin ti
Que ya no puedo más vivir

Ni sé quién soy
Ni qué seré
Ni a dónde voy
Ni a dónde iré

Como el álamo al camino
La estrella al anochecer
Como el sauce lo es al río
Mi amor a tu amor fue fiel

"Yo te amo tiernamente
Y tu amor es como los labios al beso
Eres la mitad del alma mía
Y aún en la distancia sigo siendo tuyo
Y aún más allá del olvido"

Y qué pasó de aquel amor
Y qué pasó de nuestro ayer
Que ya no puedo estar sin ti
Que ya no puedo más vivir

Ni sé quién soy
Ni qué seré
Ni a dónde voy
Ni a dónde iré

Y aunque sé que te he perdido
Y que nunca te tendré
En mi alma guardo un sitio
Por si tú quieres volver





Como el álamo al camino

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of La Rondalla de Saltillo's song "Como El Álamo Al Camino" compares the singer's love to various natural elements that are steadfast and constant, such as poplar trees lining a road, a lone star shining in the evening sky, and willow trees swaying by a river. The singer describes holding hands with their loved one as they walk down uncharted paths, leaving only their own footprints as evidence of their journey.


The singer then reflects on their love and wonders what happened to it, why they can no longer imagine living without their beloved. They question their identity and future without this person, feeling lost and unsure of their place in the world. Later in the song, the singer confesses their eternal love for their beloved, and despite knowing they can never be together again, they still hold a special place in their heart for them.


The song's overall theme is one of love and loss, longing for what was and wondering what could have been. The comparison to natural elements serves to highlight the permanence and stability of the singer's devotion. The lyrics also touch on the idea of nostalgia and the yearning to hold onto memories of a past love.
