Abril
María Parrado Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He cerrado las ventanas por si llega el frío
En esta primavera que no fue invitada
Recogiendo los recuerdos que se han roto
Como el sol

Tú has cambiado con el tiempo y aunque soy la misma
Hoy te miro entre el espejo y duele esta mirada
Cómo duele despertarse cuando oigo tu voz

Dormida, perdida, se fue apagando la canción
Como un beso sin pasión, como el viento en un cajón
Abril, te olvidaste de mí
Vistiendo de gris este silencio que a gritos me ha robado el corazón

Abril
Yo sigo aquí, desorientada en pleno invierno
Perdida, sobrevivo sin aliento
Perdida en el olvido, sobrevivo sin su amor

Hoy su ropa entre mi piel sigue desordenada de guardar tantas promesas que la amontonaba
Con la huella de sus manos que hoy se vuelve confusión
Dormida, perdida, se fue apagando la canción
Como un beso sin pasión, como el viento en un cajón
Abril, te olvidaste de mí
Vistiendo de gris este silencio que a gritos me ha robado el corazón

Abril
Yo sigo aquí, desorientada en pleno invierno
Perdida, sobrevivo sin aliento
Perdida en el olvido, sobrevivo sin su amor

Abril, te olvidaste de mí
Vistiendo de gris este silencio que a gritos me ha robado el corazón
Abril
Yo sigo aquí, desorientada en pleno invierno

Perdida, sobrevivo sin aliento
Perdida en el olvido, sobrevivo sin su amor, sin su amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maria Parrado's song "Abril" convey a melancholic mood of a person who feels forgotten and devastated after a relationship has ended. The first verse symbolizes the feeling of being left alone in the middle of spring, which is usually associated with happiness and joy but for the singer is the opposite. The use of the metaphor of closing the windows to prevent the cold from coming in, suggests that the singer is trying to protect herself from the pain that comes with the memories of what has been lost.

In the second verse, the singer points out the changes that time has brought, contrasting them with her unchanged feelings towards the person she has lost. She looks at herself in the mirror and sees the pain reflected in her eyes. The chorus conveys the sense of abandonment and the idea that April has forgotten the singer, leaving her with nothing but loneliness and a broken heart. The repetition of the line "lost without his love" reinforces the idea that the singer's life is empty without the person she loved.

In conclusion, "Abril" is a song that explores the feelings of loss and pain that come after a relationship has ended. The symbolism and metaphors used in the lyrics create a vivid and emotional portrayal of the singer's inner world. The slow and melancholic melody amplifies the mood of sadness and despair.
