Niqa Camba
Los Tekis Lyrics

The opening lines of Los Tekis's song Niña Camba speak of the memories of a man with a woman who he had a profound connection with. The lyrics "Niña recordar esos ojos tan fijos en mi" ("Girl, I remember those eyes that were so fixed on me") evoke the strong visual imagery of an idyllic beach with the sun, sea, and vast horizons that the singer experienced but had never known before. He continues to express his desire and yearning for her voice and the touch of her skin. Even in the dark of the night, he feels her presence and seems to be overwhelmed by his enthrallment with her.

The chorus, "Palabras de amor, que se alejan de mi corazón / Cual gaviotas que no volverán a posarse en mi arena sin sal" ("Words of love that stray from my heart / Like seagulls that will never again land on my saltless sand") continues the theme of lost love and unrequited passion. The man is expressing his resignation to the situation, acknowledging that his love has left him and will never return. The following lines depict the singer's farewell to his beloved – he sings a serenade to her from below her balcony, an archetypal romantic gesture. The song ends with him declaring his love and the sadness he feels, knowing that she will always be with him, even after he has left.
