Bailando Sin Sentido
Mafalda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De esperar en silencio ni una palabra
Pesada
No me quejo ni digo nada de nada
Para que, si vuelvo a perder
Perderme
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
Ahogándome sola, y bailo sin sentido
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
Preguntas
No paro y pienso en las consecuencias
Excusas
Siempre me sale, me sale alguna
Y no sé donde me encuentro
Busco, busco respuestas
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
Ahogándome sola y bailo sin sentido
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
Digo que estoy bien, pero hay algo que no
Sonrio también cuando quiero chillar
Con solo saber a donde voy
Pero no
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
Ahogándome sola y bailo sin sentido
O no sácate de aquí o aquí
The lyrics to Mafalda's "Bailando Sin Sentido" are an introspective examination of a person's feelings of frustration and desperation in a situation where they feel helpless and lost. The first verse expresses the singer's weariness of waiting silently for someone to speak up or take action. Despite feeling weighed down, they refrain from complaining or saying anything because it seems pointless when they know they will just end up losing again. The repeated refrain of "o no sácate de aquí o aquí" ("either take me away from here or don't") underscores the feeling of being stuck in a frustrating situation with no clear way forward.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's inner struggle as they grapple with questions that have no answers and make excuses to avoid confronting their problems. They are desperately searching for answers and meaning in their situation but are coming up empty. The repetition of the refrain with the line "ahogándome sola y bailo sin sentido" ("drowning alone and dancing without purpose") highlights the paradox of feeling overwhelmed and helpless but also finding some solace in dancing as a temporary escape.
The final verse acknowledges the singer's attempts to put on a brave face and pretend that they are okay, but the underlying tension and need for change persist. They want to know where they are going and have a sense of direction, but they feel like they are drowning and spinning in circles. The repetition of the refrain one last time drives home the sense of being trapped and seeking a way out.
Overall, "Bailando Sin Sentido" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of feeling lost and struggling to find a way forward. Through its vivid imagery and emotional resonance, it captures the feeling of being at a crossroads and not knowing which way to turn.

Even if I can't really understand the language ( if I don't check the meaning) , the flow and the voice really fit together and is really well made. Wish you luck.
