Octubre
Luz Casal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La bruma vestirá su manta blanca
Tantas hojas caerán
La senda cubrirán
Octubre tendrá su revancha
El sol surgirá velado
Y buscaremos el calor deseado
Tarde vas a encontrar
Octubre en la fuente durmiendo
Volveremos a ver
En las mesas de ayer
Algún vaso abandonado
Y un cielo bajo apenado
Te daré una flor
Y manteles de color
Para ser de Octubre olvidados
En la cumbre, allá en la colina
Veremos todo
Lo que Octubre ilumina
Serán tuyas mis manos
Abrigados los dos
Frente al mundo que se inclina
Volveremos a ver
En las mesas de ayer
Algún vaso abandonado
Y un cielo bajo apenado
Te daré una flor
Y manteles de color
Para ser de Octubre olvidados
Sin duda se verá en las ventanas
Marionetas de vapor dibujadas
Y nosotros jugando
Como niños brincando
Octubre quedará, quién sabe
Y nosotros jugando
Como niños brincando
Octubre quedará, quién sabe
The song Octubre by Luz Casal talks about the season of October and the things that will happen during that time. The lyrics describe the sound of the wind making the branches of the trees creak and the mist covering everything in a white blanket. The leaves will fall and cover the path. The singer is telling the listener that October will have its revenge and that the sun will come out, but it will be veiled. They will seek the warmth that they desire, and the listener will find their scarves as a necklace. They will find it in the afternoon.
The lyrics then describe how they will sleep in the fountain and how they will see things they saw before at the tables. They will see a glass left behind, and the sky is low with grief. The singer will give the listener a flower and some colorful tablecloths to be forgotten with October. They will go to the summit of the hill to see what October illuminates. The singer's hands will be theirs, and they will be huddled together facing the world that is inclined. The lyrics then talk about how puppets will be seen in the window and how they will play like children. The song concludes with the statement that October will remain, and they will play like children, wondering who knows what will happen.
