Chiquita
Luis Pescetti Y Juan Quintero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misterioso don,
Canto para mi cuando no estás vos
Pero no es la misma, la misma canción.
Milagro en mi vida sin sol
Que me regaló
Para que lo cuide mi bella.
En la noche...
Un dragón, chispita, calor,
Sol de verano.
Siempre escucho sí cuando dice no,
Un dolor así es también el amor.
Volará sin prisa, color
Que se derramó
Para que lo cuide, mi bella.
En la noche, en mis días.
En la noche...
Pasa el agua que te lava,
Que no espera,
Que te llevará,
Llega el mar
Sin pensar en volver.
Cielo abierto,
Pleno vuelo,
Oh Amor.
The song "Chiquita" by Luis Pescetti Y Juan Quintero is a beautiful and mysterious tune that explores the complex emotions of love and loss. The lyrics are full of symbolism and metaphors that suggest the transience of life and how love can both heal and hurt us.
The opening lines, "Corazón, chiquita, pompón, Misterioso don," are both tender and enigmatic. The singer is addressing his beloved, calling her affectionate names, while also acknowledging that she possesses a "mysterious gift" that he cannot fully understand. He then goes on to describe how he often sings to her when she is absent, but it's never the same song because he's unable to capture the essence of her presence.
The second verse shifts the focus to the pain and pleasure of love. The singer uses the image of a dragon to represent his beloved's fiery, unpredictable nature. Even when she says no, he still listens to her because love can be both joyful and painful. He sees their relationship as a miracle that has brought light into his life, but he's also aware that it's fragile and needs to be protected. The refrain of "En la noche, en mis días" (in the night, in my days) suggests that their love is all-encompassing and transcends time.
Overall, "Chiquita" is a beautifully written and performed song that captures the joy and sorrow of being in love. It's a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
