Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No comprendo nada de esta horrible situación
La tentación surgió con otro
Ella se fue todo del nido y mi amor abandono
En la playa, en la arena abrazados,
Solos tu y él en la playa, en la arena
Ella era como el mar me daba de beber
Esto me despedazo
No quiero vivir sin ella
Esto me despedazo
Prefiero morir sin ella
Esto me despedazo
No quiero vivir sin ella
Esto me despedazo
Prefiero morir sin ella
Te extraño tanto, tanto Oh
These lyrics are from Maná's song "En la playa," which speaks of a person struggling to understand and come to terms with a painful situation in which they have lost their love to another person. The song begins with the singer expressing confusion and disbelief, stating that they don't understand how this situation could have happened. They feel like they don't comprehend anything that's going on, and are left to deal with the aftermath of their love leaving with someone else. The next line describes the temptation that arose with another person, leading to the departure of the singer's lover and the abandonment of their relationship.
The chorus captures the bittersweet memories of the love story, as the singer recalls a time when they were together, enjoying each other's company on a beach. They were wrapped in each other's embrace, their love seemingly indestructible. But now, the lover is gone and has left a painful emptiness in the singer's heart. They remember their lover as someone who was like the refreshing waters of the sea, and the sunshine that brought hope with every morning.
Throughout this powerful ballad, the singer speaks of their pain and loss. They talk about how this situation has shattered them, and that they don't want to go on living without their love. The refrain of the chorus repeats the idea that they are broken without their lover and that death seems preferable to living without them. The final line is a plea for their lover's return, a confession of how much they miss them.
Overall, the song speaks about the complexities of love, the sweet moments shared, and the heartbreak that can come if things go wrong. It is a powerful expression of the pain of lost love, and how hard it can be to move on.
