Fragiles
Malú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somos la estela de un barco perdido
Un mundo de almas buscando el camino
Destinos que aguardan a ciegas su oportunidad

Por que es tan difícil salvar nuestros miedos
Y hay mil desengaños que duelen tan dentro
Dime quien tiene el secreto de saber amar
Todos buscamos al fin la felicidad
Aunque la vida nos muestre su gran abismo
Pero esta noche me ahogo en mi ansiedad

Somos tan frágiles, un soplo de aire
Nos derrumba en silencio y nos va devorando
Entre amores, caricias y piel
Tan frágiles, como una lágrima
Que se pierde en la arena buscando sus penas
Al alba de este amanecer

Que siga la rueda de las fantasías
En este universo que va tan deprisa
Que a solas se quede el abrazo de la soledad

Siempre habré noches enteras para soñar
Aunque nos llenen a veces de una gran vacío
Pero esta noche me muero si no estás

Dime quien no sufre a veces el olvido
Dime quien navega por el mar de la verdad

Somos tan frágiles en esta oscuridad
Corazones sin rumbo, pasiones que arden
Recuerdos a fuego en la piel

Tan frágiles, viviendo al límite
Un puñado de heridas y sueños eternos
Palabras, promesas sin fe





Tan frágiles

The song emphasizes the theme of fragility by comparing people to a lost ship's trail and highlighting the need to find direction. The lyrics challenge listeners to consider whether anyone truly knows how to love and conquer their fears, while acknowledging that disappointment and pain are prevalent experiences in life. The song also touches on the importance of dreaming and holding onto hope, even in the face of emptiness and solitude. The repeated use of the term "frágiles" emphasizes the idea that people are delicate and easily broken, despite the various masks they may wear to hide their vulnerabilities.
