DESPEDIDA
Laura Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy te mire a los ojos y encontré
Que el brillo no era el mismo
Que estabas tan distinto
Sentí que tu mirada era un adiós
Y sobran las palabras
Prefiero estar callada
Y creer que nada es cierto
Y ocultar los sentimientos
Imaginar que no es el final
Vivamos un momento irreal
No dejes de abrazarme
No digas que ya es tarde
Que te quiero
Que me muero
Si la única salida
Es creer una mentira
No me digas la verdad
No me digas que te vas
Que no quiero en esta vida
Una nueva despedida
No me digas la verdad
Te lo ruego ten piedad
Que el sentido de mi vida
Morirá con la partida de tu amor
Quisiera regresar el tiempo atrás
Volver a conocerte
Sentirme diferente
Vivamos un momento irreal
No dejes de abrazarme
No digas que ya es tarde
Que te quiero
Que me muero




Si la única salida
Es creer una mentira

Overall Meaning

Laura Miller’s song "Despedida" speaks about a relationship that has come to an end. The lyrics describe the moment when the singer looks into her partner's eyes and realizes that the love they once shared has faded. She notices that the sparkle in his eyes isn't there, and his demeanor has changed. She senses that he is saying goodbye through his gaze, and she would rather not hear the words than face the truth. She prefers to believe that what they had was still alive and conceal her feelings.


As the song progresses, the singer urges her partner to hold onto the moment and not utter those final words. She implores him to embrace her and not say that it's too late because she wants him, and losing him would be devastating. She pleads for him to spare her the truth and not tell her that he is leaving her again, as she cannot bear another goodbye. The singer knows that her life would lose its essence with the departure of his love, and she wishes they could go back in time, to when they first met, and restart their love story.


Overall, the song "Despedida" is a poignant portrayal of heartbreak and loss, tackling the theme of separation and saying goodbye with such raw emotions that is hard not to connect with the sentiments conveyed.
