Manu Tenorio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ha dejado unacarta que le escribió
Y a su lado junto a una flor
Se marchita cada palabra cada renglón
No es posible que en un papel haya tanto dolor
Agujitas en su pobre corazón
Vivir a tu lado es hacerte sufrir
Mejor esta tarde me marcho
Y aprendo de nuevo el arte de vivir
Y tan solo me llevo los dulces recuerdos
Y que a tu lado yo un dia fui tan feliz
El refugio donde huia para soñar
Le anunciaba que no volveria jamas
Y no supo, y no supo poderlo olvidar
Y se quedo encallada en el tienpo
Princesa de un cuento sin final feliz
Los años le fueron pintando
Su pelo moreno de un blanco añil
Y pasaron los años y se fue inventando
Una carta para sobrevivir
Me inventaré mil primaveras
Para cuando vuelva podertelas regalas
Compensaré tu larga espera
Aunque mi vida entera yo te tenga que empeñar
Y amor
In Manu Tenorio's song "Blanco Añil", the singer describes a heart-wrenching scene of a lover leaving and leaving behind a letter and a flower at a train station bench. The letter expresses the pain and sadness that the lover has been causing by trying to hold onto the relationship that is causing suffering. The lover decides to leave and learn how to live again, taking only memories of happy times with them. The song then transitions to describing how the person left behind, a princess in a fairytale without a happy ending, ages with time and creates a letter of their own to survive.
The lyrics in "Blanco Añil" have a melancholic but poetic tone, describing the pain of letting go of a relationship that is causing suffering. The image of the letter and flower at the train station bench is a powerful one and symbolizes the end of a journey. The singer shows empathy towards both the lover and the person left behind, capturing the complexities of letting go and moving on.
