Dónde Estabais
La Unión Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dónde estabais en los malos tiempos
Cuando ni gritando conseguí
Hacerme oír la voz.
Dónde estabais
Dímelo o como el resto (vamos dímelo)
Olvidas con facilidad.
130 noches recordé tu cara de angel
130 días lamenté no poder oír tu voz.
Dónde estabais
Dímelo o como el resto dímelo (vamos dímelo)
Olvidas con facilidad.
Ahora es fácil
Todo es fácil
Me basta un susurro
Para que de mi mano comáis
Como haría un perro fiel.
Dónde estabais
Dímelo o como el resto (vamos dímelo)
Olvidas con facilidad.
The song "Dónde Estabais" by La Union speaks of betrayal and the feeling of abandonment during difficult times. The singer questions the whereabouts of those who were supposedly close to him but were nowhere to be found when he needed their support. The repeated phrase "Dónde estabais" (Where were you) emphasizes the singer's frustration and disappointment towards those individuals.
The first stanza expresses the difficulty of being heard and understood. The singer implies that he was shouting for help, but nobody responded. The second stanza is a lamentation of the time lost and a reflection of the singer's memories of the person who he expected to be there but was not. The number 130 symbolizes the excruciating number of days and nights that the singer is left to face the situation alone.
The final stanza is a hard-hitting question to those who were not there when he needed them. The singer compares his former dependence on them to that of a loyal dog's willingness to eat from the hand of his master. The phrase "olvidas con facilidad" (you forget easily) is a powerful way to emphasize the ignorance and neglect that has been displayed.
Overall, "Dónde Estabais" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks of the pain of being abandoned during difficult times. The lyrics are deep and reflective, with a sense of sadness and bitterness that is beautifully portrayed by the singer.
