CANCION PARA TI
Los Guaraguao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy quiero hacerte una canción
que hable de ti por mi
quiero hacerte una canción
morena como tú
dame el tono del dolor
para entregarte mi visión de ti.
Si, porque para mi eres más
que aquel camino
porque eres más que un nombre
o apellido
porque sigues siendo flor
yo quiero darte una canción.
Porque en mi tú puedes ver
puedes gritar que a ti también
alguien te quiso, aún es preciso
todo aquel que te asegure
que fue un momento fugaz
siempre juro que es mentira, así es la vida.
A quien le puede importar
que yo te diga que te admiro
porque quien puede saber
que de tu vida yo soy vida
por eso madre no olvidas
alumbrar mi caminar.
Hoy quiero hacerte una canción
que hable de ti por mi
quiero hacerte una canción
morena como tú
con el tono del dolor
para entregarte mi visión de ti.
Porque en mi tú puedes ver
puedes gritar que a ti también
alguien te quiso, aún es preciso
todo aquel que te asegure
que fue un momento fugaz
siempre jura que es mentira, así es la vida.
A quien le puede importar
que yo te diga que te admiro
por que quien puede saber
que de tu vida yo soy vida
por eso madre no olvidas
alumbrar mi caminar.
Hoy quiero hacerte una canción
que hable de ti por mi
quiero hacerte una canción
morena como tú
porque sigues siendo flor
yo quiero darte una canción.
In Los Guaraguao's song "Canción para Ti," the singer expresses their desire to create a song for someone they admire deeply. The song is addressed to a woman, described as "morena" or dark-skinned, and the lyrics suggest a close relationship between the two. The singer emphasizes that this person is more than just a passing acquaintance or a name, but rather someone who has had a profound impact on their life and has influenced their journey.
The line "dame el tono del dolor para entregarte mi visión de ti" or "give me the tone of pain to deliver my vision of you" implies that the singer wants to create a heartfelt and genuine tribute to this person, and that it might require tapping into their own experiences of pain to do so. The song also acknowledges that their relationship might not have been smooth and easy, as indicated by the references to "aquel camino" (that road) and "el tono del dolor" (the tone of pain).
The song reiterates that this woman is not just a passing moment in the singer's life, and that they will continue to remember and cherish her, symbolized by the line "yo quiero darte una canción" (I want to give you a song). The song ends with a repetition of this sentiment, as well as the appreciation for the woman's enduring strength and beauty.
