El Reloj
Los pasteles verdes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reloj, no marques las horas

por que voy a enloquecer,

ella se ira para siempre

cuando amanezca otra vez.
----

No mas, nos queda esta noche

para vivir nuestro amor,

y tu tic tac me recuerda

su irremediable dolor.

----

Reloj deten tu camino

por que mi vida se apaga,

ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser

yo sin su amor no soy nada.

----

Deten el tiempo en tus manos

haz de esta noche perpetua,

para que nunca se vaya de mi





para que nunca amanezca.

Overall Meaning

The song "El Reloj" by Los Pasteles Verdes is a classic romantic ballad that expresses the desperation of a man who is about to lose his love forever. The song begins with the plea to the clock to stop ticking because the singer is about to go crazy with the thought of losing his love forever. He knows that his love will leave him when the sun rises again and there is nothing he can do about it. The second verse expresses the hopelessness of their situation; there is only one night left to express their love before she leaves him forever. The sound of the clock's ticking reminds him of the pain of their impending separation.


In the final verse, the singer begs the clock to stop and reverse time. He wants to make this night last forever so that he never has to say goodbye to his love. He sees her as the light that brightens his life and without her, he is nothing. The song is a moving plea for the impossible and shows the power of love to make us feel things beyond our control.

Yo la escucho desde los 13 años hoy tengo 19 y sigo escuchando estas joyas, esa canción la escuchaba con una novia que tube, la mejor chica, esta canción me recuerda a ella, cuando pasába toda la noche con su familia y ella, escuchando esas canciones, y ahora la escucho solo después de dos años de haber terminado con ella y recordando esos lindos momentos 😢
