El correo del Zar
Los lagos de Hinault Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no sé diferenciar muy bien
si te echo de menos a ti
o a una etapa que se fue
No te vinieron nada bien
esas novelas en francés
creíste ver algo de luz
y echaste todo a perder
que tú eres como un iceberg
y que yo me quiero inventar
la parte que no puedo ver
Pa pa pa rará (tra lara lara) Me hablas de cierta inmadurez
que debería superar
no sé cómo hacerte entender
que eso tampoco es novedad
Lo ha dicho gente muy cabal
lo ha dicho Radio Nacional
y esas amigas tuyas que
nunca he podido soportar
Lo ha dicho Ignacio Escolar
lo ha dicho el correo del Zar
y solo me falta que tú
lo digas solo por hablar
Pa pa pa ra rá (tra lara lara) Todo
Todo, todo
por un poquito de amor
Todo
Todo, todo
por un poquito de amor
The lyrics to Los lagos de Hinault's song "El correo del Zar" express the confusion and uncertainty that come with missing someone or a past period of life. The singer is torn between two different feelings - missing the person themselves or just the period in their life that is now gone. The second verse mentions the person's interest in French novels, which seemed to provide a glimmer of hope but ultimately led to ruin. The current state of their relationship is strained, with the singer struggling to communicate and bridge the gap between their different levels of emotional maturity. The chorus emphasizes the importance of love, regardless of the cost or sacrifice.
Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the complexities of relationships, particularly the difficulty of moving on from the past and finding common ground with a partner. The imagery of an iceberg suggests that there is more beneath the surface of the individuals in the relationship than meets the eye. The references to external sources like Radio Nacional and Ignacio Escolar hint at a broader societal pressure to conform to certain expectations in relationships, which only adds to the singer's confusion and frustration.
