Lento
Lucero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotas de lluvia en la cara
Olor a tierra mojada
Que fuera de la ciudad
A piel dorada de mar

El tiempo todo lo cambia
Y en sólo cuatro semana
De juego de seducción

A gran historia de amor

Esos besos a la luz de la luna
Perfumados de sal
Esas manos tibias en mi cintura
Donde han ido a parar

Lento y fuertemente intenso
Bocanada de puro amor
Fuego lento quemando sin parar
Mi pobre corazón

Lento y suavemente ingenuo
Como lentos pasos de glacial
Cada vez más intenso
Cada vez más necesario más

Que tristes todas las cartas
Que sensación tan extraña
Llevarte dentro de mí
Y estar tan lejos de ti

Tus palabras a la luz de luna
Perfumadas de sal
Esos brazos cárcel de cintura
Donde ha ido a parar

Lento y fuertemente intenso
Bocanada de puro amor
Fuego lento quemando sin parar
Mi pobre corazón

Cada vez más intenso
Cada vez más necesario más

Fuego lento quemando sin para
Mi pobre corazón

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lucero's song "Lento" talk about how time can change everything, even a simple game of seduction into a passionate love story. The opening lines of the song speak of the feeling of raindrops on one's face and the scent of wet earth, eliciting a sense of nostalgia and longing for something beyond the urban life. The mention of "piel dorada de mar" or golden skin bathed in the ocean further reinforces the idea of wanting to escape to a more natural setting.

The main theme of the song is about the intensity of a love affair that burns slowly and relentlessly like a fire. The chorus talks about the all-consuming nature of the love that the singer feels, describing it as a "bocanada de puro amor" or a pure breath of love that sets the heart on fire. However, the sadness of separation and the distance between the lovers are also conveyed, with the mention of "tristes todas las cartas" or sad letters and the impossibility of being physically close with the person referred to in the song.

Overall, the song captures the feeling of wanting more from life and love, and the universal experience of intense yet fleeting romance.
