FRÍO
Los Llayras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nos amamos como los tiernos jilgueros
Y esa noche entre tus brazos fui tuya saboreando tus besos y tú locura.
Tan solo era deseo ardiente lo que tú sentías por mi
Y al salir la luz del alba tu cruel adiós yo me bebí.
Frío que quema fuerte porque no tengo tu abrigó.
Frío es casi como un tempano de dolor.
Frío, frío que corre lentamente en mis entrañas.
Frío que en hielo va convirtiendo mis lágrimas.
Frío que mata por estar ya sin tu amor.
Tan solo era deseo ardiente lo que tú sentías por mi
Y al salir la luz del alba tu cruel adiós yo me bebí.
Frío que quema fuerte porque no tengo tu abrigó.
Frío que mata y me congela hasta el hastío
Frío es casi como un tempano de dolor.
Frío, frío que corre lentamente en mis entrañas.
Frío que en hielo va convirtiendo mis lágrimas.
Frío que mata por estar ya sin tu amor.
The lyrics to Los Llayras's song Frío tell the story of a passionate but short-lived love affair that has left one person with a deep sense of loss and abandonment. The song begins with an image of two lovers who are so deeply in love that they are like the moon and sky or the gentle jilgueros (finches). The singer describes how they spent a night together, wrapped in each other's arms, savoring each other's kisses and wildness.
However, as the night drew to a close and the light of dawn began to break, the lover abruptly left, leaving the singer feeling cold and alone. The singer describes the intense pain and longing that they feel – a burning coldness that consumes them, a freezing feeling that turns their tears to ice. The lyric "Frío que mata y me congela hasta el hastío" (Cold that kills and freezes me to disgust) gives insight into the depth of pain and sorrow the singer is experiencing.
Despite the passion and intensity of the love affair, it was based purely on desire, and the lover disappears as quickly as they arrived, leaving the singer with nothing but a sense of loss and a deep longing. The song is a poignant reminder of the transience of human connection and the painful aftermath of a love that burns too hot and bright.
