D… Read Full Bio ↴Laura Fygi (born August 27, 1955, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer.
Daughter to a Dutch father, a manager at Philips, and an Egyptian mother, a belly dancer by profession, Fygi lived with her parents in South America for the first eight years of her life.
Between 1987 and 1991, she was a member of popular Dutch girl-band, Centerfold. During performances, the trio dressed themselves in sexy lingerie. They had hits in the Netherlands and all over Europe, and were equally famous in Japan.
In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Fygi (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot. After one performance in Dutch theatre Paradiso, an album was expected, but Mercury Records had already asked Fygi to make a solo album. This first album, Introducing Laura Fygi, comprised mostly jazz numbers, and was produced by Ruud Jacobs. In the album, Fygi was accompanied by celebrated Belgian musician Toots Thielemans.
Abrázame
Laura Fygi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no me digas nada
Sólo abrazame
Me basta tu mirada
Para comprender que tu te iras
Abrazame
Como si fuera ahora la primera vez
Abrazame
Si tu te vas
Te olvidaras que un día
Hace tiempo ya
Cuando eramos aun niños
Me empezaste a amar
Y yo te di mi vida si te vas
Si tu te vas
Ya nada sera nuestro
Tu te llevaras en un solo momento
Una eternidad
Me quedare sin nada si tu te vas
Abrazame
Y no me digas nada
Sólo abrazame
No quiero que te vayas
Pero se muy bien que tu te iras
Abrazame
Como si fuera ahora la primera vez
Como si me quisieras hoy igual que ayer
Si tu te vas
Me quedara el silencio para conversar
La sombra de tu cuerpo y la soledad
Seran mis compañeras si te vas
Si tu te vas
Se ira contigo el tiempo
Y mi mejor edad
Te seguire queriendo cada día mas
Te esperare a que vuelvas si tu te vas
The song ''Abrazame'' by Laura Fygi is a beautiful expression of love and loss. The title translates to “Embrace Me” in English, and the song’s lyrics revolve around the idea of holding on tightly to someone who may leave at any moment. The song is a plea to that person to stay, but also an acknowledgment of the fact that they may leave, and the singer will be left with memories, loss, and the hope that the person will return to them someday.
The opening lines of the song set the emotional tone of the song: "Abrazame, y no me digas nada, solo abrazame" which translates to "Embrace me, and don't say a word, just hold me". The singer is begging for that person’s embrace; they do not want to hear any explanations or excuses for their departure. They need that person to hold them and comfort them because, ultimately, actions will speak louder than words. The chorus signifies the idea that if that person goes away, the memories and the pain of their absence will be difficult to bear.
The song's lyrics are a poignant reminder that love is not always perfect, and it can be hard to come to terms with the possibility of losing someone. The song's emotional depth is greatly complemented by Laura Fygi's soft and hauntingly beautiful voice. The combination of the lyrics and her voice makes this song an intense emotional experience, especially for those who have felt the pangs of love and loss.
