Manu Tenorio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y he sido incapaz
De decirla párate … párate.
Mi voz se ahogó en mi garganta
Y solo fui capaz de contemplar
Como te marchabas.
Acuérdate …
Olvidarla en un papel
Y aparcarla en la letra de una canción.
Y me acordé …
De aquel vaso de cristal
Que no paraba de llenar y llenar
Y que nunca me quitó tu sed.
Y me quedé viéndote marchar
Y el pañuelo en mi bolsillo
Solo se empezó a mojar.
Volví por la casualidad
De volverte a ver pasar
Ya aun sé ni para qué ni porque
Si hasta se que volvería a callarme
Y que sería incapaz de gritar para llamarte.
Acuérdate …
De cuantas noches te costó
Olvidarla en un papel
Y aparcarla en la letra de una canción.
Y me acordé …
De aquel vaso de cristal
Que no paraba de llenar y llenar
Y que nunca me quitó tu sed.
Y me quedé viéndote marchar
Y el pañuelo en mi bolsillo
Solo se empezó a mojar.
Y te vi perderte en la distancia
Y ese nudo en mi garganta
Que no me deja hablar … de ti
The lyrics of "Incapaz" by Manu Tenorio are about a person who has seen someone they love walking past them and they were unable to express their emotions. The singer was unable to tell the person to stop walking away, and their voice failed them, leaving them unable to say anything at all. The singer remembers the times when they tried to forget that person, but it was impossible to do so. They reminisce about the time when they shared a glass together, and how it never quenched their thirst for each other. The singer continues to watch the person walk away and realizes that they would be unable to call them back even if they wanted to.

The lyrics show how people can have intense feelings but be unable to express them or act on them, even when they know that they should.
