Los Melodicos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi corazón se morirási tu te vas
Eres vida mia todo lo que tengo
El mar que me baña, la luz que me guia
Eres la morada que habito
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Si tu te vas.
Eres la montaña que busca mi cuerpo
Eres lo que sueño despierto,
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Eres vida mia, el trigo que siembro,
Todo lo que pienso,
Mi vos, mi alegria,
Eres lo que añoro y anhelo
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Si tu te vas
Eres vida mia, todo mi alimento,
La historia que rima si estas en mis versos
Eres la cobija, mi aliento
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Hay no
No se vida mia cambia todo
Si tu te vas,
El sol no me calienta ni modo
Si tu te vas,
El día me parece más oscuro
Si tu te vasEres vida mia todo lo que tengo
El mar que me baña, la luz que me guia
Eres la morada que habito
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
Si tu te vas.
Eres la montaña que busca mi cuerpo
El rio en la noche, primavera e invierno
Eres lo que sueño despierto,
Y si tu te vas ya no me queda nada
No se vida mia cambia todo
Si tu te vas,
El sol no me calienta ni modo
Si tu te vas,
El día me parece más oscuro
Si tu te vas
The song "Si Tu Te Vas" by Los Melódicos is a poignant message to a loved one about the singer's emotional attachment to that person. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of loss and helplessness and how their whole world will crumble without this person by their side. The chorus itself, which is repeated throughout the song, stresses the gravity of the situation, as the singer fears that their heart will die if this person leaves. The first stanza of the song sets the tone for the entire song, as the singer sings about how the person they love is their everything- their life, guiding light, and even their home.
The rest of the song is filled with beautiful metaphors that all revolve around the idea of how essential this person is. The singer compares their loved one to a mountain and a river, and speaks about how much they dream about them. They are the wheat that the singer plants and the joy in their voice. The lyrics reveal how the person leaving will change everything, how the sun will not warm them, and the day will seem darker. The farewell will leave the singer with nothing since their loved one is their world, and their everything depends on them being near.
Overall, "Si Tu Te Vas" is a moving and emotional song that perfectly captures the pain of losing someone you love. The lyrics are passionate, and the melody is melancholic, making it a perfect example of Latin balladry.
