Nadie Mas Que el Sol
Manuel García Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Volverán aquí mis pájaros,
Volverán con cantos mágicos,
Volveré canción y pájaros.
Junto a un árbol en el patio
De un hospital abandonado
Fuimos niños jugando a enterrar
Cómo crees tú que ese juego
Se te ocurrió. ¿Sabes qué creo yo?
Que fue complicidad de amor,
Aunque sólo a ti te bese el sol.
Nadie más que el sol.
Cuando sólo a ti te bese el sol
Volverán aquí mis pájaros,
Volverán con cantos mágicos,
Volveré canción y pájaros.
The lyrics of Manuel García's song Nadie Mas Que el Sol convey a profound sense of nostalgia and longing for a lost love. The opening lines suggest that the singer's happiness and sense of completeness were only possible when he was with his beloved, and that everything else in his world - even the birds - paled in comparison to her. The repetition of the phrase "sólo a ti te bese el sol" emphasizes the exclusivity of their connection and the centrality of the sun as a symbol of warmth and life.
As the song progresses, the singer recalls a childhood memory of playing with his beloved near an abandoned hospital. The act of burying and unearthing a heart is a powerful metaphor for the vulnerability and unpredictability of love. The lines "cómo crees tú que ese juego/se te ocurrió" suggest that the singer recognizes the deeper significance of their play, even as a child. He believes that their connection was rooted in "complicidad de amor," or a shared understanding of their emotions and desires.
The final repetition of the chorus suggests that the singer is resigned to his loss, and that his only hope is that he might someday experience that intense connection once again. The image of the birds returning with "canto mágicos" reinforces the idea that the relationship was something special and transformative, and that he longs for its return.
Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on the power of love to shape and transform our lives, and the pain of losing it. The imagery is rich and evocative, and the repetition of key phrases creates a sense of depth and intensity.
