El Diario No Hablaba De Ti Con Estopa
María Jiménez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ha perdido en su campo el atleti
Y que ha amanecido nevando en paris
Que han pillado un alijo de coca
Que a piscis y acuario les toca
El vinagre y la hiel
Que aprobo el parlamento europeo
Una ley a favor de abolir el deseo
Que fall la vacuna anti sida
Que un golpe de estado ha triunfado
En la luna y movidas asi
Pero nada decia la prensa de hoy
De esta sucia pasin
De este lunes marrn
Del obsceno sabor a cubata
De ron de tu piel
De olor a colonia barata del amanecer
Hoy, amor, como siempre
El diario no hablaba de ti, ni de mi
Hoy dijo la radio que han allado muerto
Al nio que yo fui
Que han pagado un pasote de pelas
Por una acuarela falsa de Dal
Que ha caido la bolsa en el cielo
Que siguen las putas en huelga
De celo en moscu
Que subio la marea que fusilan maana
A jesus de Judea
QUe crecio el agujero de Ozono
Que el hombre de hoy es el padre del mono
Del ao tres mil
Pero nada decia el programa de hoy
De este eclipse de mar
De este salto mortal
De tu voz tiritando en la cinta del contestador
De las manchas que deja el olvido
A traves del colchon
Hoy, amor, como siempre
El diario no hablaba de ti, ni de mi
Hoy, amor, como siempre
El diario no hablaba de ti, ni de mi
Hoy, amor, como siempre
El diario no hablaba de ti, ni de mi
The song "El Diario No Hablaba De Ti" by María Jiménez conveys a sense of disconnection from the everyday reality that the media presents, as the news of the day does not include details about personal struggles, lost love and human emotions. The song begins by listing the news of the day and how the newspaper talks about everything, from the death of a woman to the weather in Paris, but it does not mention anything about the singer's passionate or emotional struggles. The lyrics describe how the newspaper does not delve into the singer's personal experiences or feelings, such as the memories of a past love, the smell of their skin, or even the sound of their voice on a recorded message.
The song's refrain repeats the phrase "Hoy, amor, como siempre, el diario no hablaba de ti, ni de mi," which translates to "Today, love, like always, the newspaper did not speak of you, nor of me." The singer emphasizes the contrast between the events of the world and the individual's inner world of emotions, where the singer feels left out of the news and invisible in society. The song concludes by stating that the news does not matter when the emotions and very personal human tragedies are not acknowledged or understood.
The lyrics of this beautiful song romanticize the idea of our subjective and individual experiences being as important as the news of the day, and how love is not just a footnote in the headlines. The song emphasizes the importance of recognizing that the events experienced by individuals are just as valid and relevant as the events of the world.
