Laura Va
Liliana Vitale Lyrics

LAURA VA

Laura va,
Lentamente guarda en su valija gris
El final
De toda una vida de penas.

Laura va,
Unos pasos la alejan del pueblo aquel
Donde ayer
Jugaba al salir de la escuela.

Laura, pobre tu dolor
Se cayó de una oración,
Por eso te vas con él,
Por eso te vas
Y hay algo de bueno en tus ojos
Sin querer.

Laura ve,
Los años le han dado la resignación
Y el dolor
Se fue con sus pocas tibiezas.

Laura ve,
Aunque es grande su vida comienza aquí
Y a la vez
Termina la sed de su espera.





La valija pesa y él le ayuda a entrar en el tren.
La cubre de besos y el sol también.

Overall Meaning

The song "Laura Va" by Liliana Vitale tells the story of a woman named Laura who is leaving her town, possibly for good, after enduring a lifetime of pain and suffering. The opening lines paint a picture of Laura slowly packing her grey suitcase, which will contain the final remnants of her difficult life. As she walks away from the town where she once played after school, the pain and sorrow of her existence are palpable.


Despite the difficulties she has faced, there is a glimmer of hope in Laura's eyes as she leaves with her lover. The pain that she carried with her fell away from her like a broken prayer, and she is able to begin a new life with the one who has supported her through it all.


The lyrics suggest that Laura has found catharsis through her departure and is looking forward to what the future holds. The song's final lines describe her lover's farewell, covering her in kisses as she boards the train. The sun shines down on her as she begins her new journey, leaving behind her pain and welcoming a brighter future.

Liliana: Es una pena que no haya videos de los duos con Alberto Muñoz y con Veronica Condomí de los dias de Cornonstipicum, Transparencias y el triple en vivo. Fueron y son increiblemente brillantes.

Nada... Luis debe sonreír desde las estrellas. Y tal vez me quedo corto, lo sé. Pero tu voz (a-pentagramada) es sencillamente bellísima. Como tus ojos, Liliana. Y lo sabés. Lito es inconmensurable. Pero qué diablos!!! Vos sos de otro planeta, sí.

Alejandro C

una versión intensamente amorosa como todo lo que tocás…
