Granada
María y José Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perdiendo, mi alma
Pasito a pasito voy
Perdiendo, la calma
Pienso en ti a cada instante, eso me mata
Pienso en ti a cada instante, eso no para
Cierra bien la puerta si no quieres que entre ya
Tira una granada que quiero explotar.
The lyrics of Granada by María y José reflect the emotions of someone who is gradually losing their peace of mind and soul, and the cause of this is the constant thoughts about someone they love. The repetition of "pasito a pasito voy perdiendo mi alma, pasito a pasito voy perdiendo la calma" emphasizes the idea of slow but persistent demise of the singer's inner self. They can't seem to stop thinking about their love interest, and that causes them intense pain. The lines "pienso en ti a cada instante, eso me mata" and "pienso en ti a cada instante, eso no para" reveal again the overwhelming feeling of being unable to turn off these thoughts, even though it causes them distress. The last two lines of the lyrics, "cierra bien la puerta si no quieres que entre ya, cierra bien la puerta que la voy a tirar" indicate the desperation and the need to see the person in question, even if they're not welcome. Finally, the mention of a grenade represents a desire to express their emotions and thoughts explosively, perhaps to rid themselves of the heaviness of the situation.
