La noche anterior
Man Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era ya de día, la cama tendida
No volvía de la noche anterior.
Fue un muy buen día, contaba a su amiga
Refiriéndose a la noche anterior.
Y volando, mirando el techo
El reflejo de ese ventilador
Descifrando que estuvo haciendo
En la noche anterior, ¡ella se siente bien!
Fue un muy buen día, y ella volvía
Muy cansada de la noche anterior.
La garganta herida, un poco fundida
Mal vestida de la noche anterior.
Y bailando sobre la almohada
Sin ningún camisón
Descifrando que estuvo haciendo




En la noche anterior, ¡ella se siente bien!
¿Hoy? ¡Ella se siente bien!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Man Ray's La noche anterior describe the aftermath of a wild night out. The singer of the song wakes up in the morning, and the bed is unmade, indicating that she did not return from her previous night's outing. She tells her friend that it was an excellent night, and she feels good about it. As she lies in bed, she looks up at the ceiling and sees the reflection of the fan, trying to piece together what she did. Regardless of what happened, she feels good about it, and the song ends with her saying that she feels good today.


The song's lyrics are an ode to hedonism and the thrill of living in the moment. It speaks to the human desire to let loose and enjoy oneself, even if it means dealing with the consequences later. The singer seems to have had a great night, and while she might be worn out and have a sore throat, she is happy with her experience. The song's upbeat tempo and the lively instrumentation add to its carefree spirit.
