Días que fueron
Malu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No hay más secretos que confesar
Yo como tú, tú como yo
Ya nada vuelve a ser igual
Ya se ha llegado cada cual
Todos llegamos a algún final
Yo como tu, tú como yo
Como los huecos de un panal
No vuelve nunca a ser lo que fue
No se repite el verbo volver
Y no pasa nada la cosa es así
Días que fueron como el tren
Que nos regresa a aquel carrusel
De la ciudad del tiempo feliz
Todo lo bueno a flor de piel
Hay un cristal en medio de dos
La transparencia sutil separó
Lo que ayer era llama y candil
Lo que ayer era línea de un mismo perfil
Días que fueron como pan
No hay más secretos que confesar
Yo como tú, tú como yo
Ya nada vuelve a ser igual
The song "Días que fueron" by Malu talks about the passing of time and how life changes. The days are compared to bread, meaning that they were once full and fresh, but now they are stale and hard to swallow. The singer confesses that there are no more secrets to keep, and both she and her lover have changed to the point where nothing will ever be the same. This is like the empty spaces in a honeycomb, where everything used to fit perfectly, but now there are gaps that can never be filled.
The lyrics emphasize the fact that life moves forward and that things can never be the same as they once were. The verb "volver" (to return) is mentioned, but the singer notes that it cannot be repeated. The second verse talks about a train that takes the listener back to a time of happiness and innocence, but even that cannot be replicated. The idea of a glass separating two people or things is introduced, indicating that even though they are close, they are not the same as they once were. This is illustrated with the metaphor of a flame that used to burn bright, but now has been extinguished.
Overall, "Días que fueron" is a nostalgic song that reflects on the past and how time changes everything. The bread metaphor is a clever one, as it reflects both the sweetness and pain of life.
