A tu lado
Mar de Copas Lyrics

The song "A tu lado" by Mar de Copas starts with the line "Noche en tierra de Dios" which could be translated to "Night in the land of God". The opening lines refer to a moment in time when a mistake gained importance. The use of the word "cobra" (charges) implies that there are consequences to the error made. The reference to "cera" (wax) covering a clear face in green luster and lime suggests that there is a sense of disguising or hiding something. The lines "Te muestra así lo falso de mi voz" (It thus shows the falsity of my voice) indicate that the mistake has revealed something about the singer's voice, perhaps that they have not been truthful or authentic about something.

The following lines describe an experience where the singer witnessed something that others couldn't see. They saw the "sweetness of your voice" and heard a "noise without measure". This noise was so loud that it caused physical pain, "tearing" their ears and body apart. The lines "Se cobra con mi sangre y mi sudor" (It takes its toll with my blood and sweat) suggest that the pain and the experience have taken a physical and emotional toll on the singer.

The chorus talks about the kind of love that they need to forget about because it will never return. The second verse adds to the sense of pain and confusion with lines such as "Demonio hiere y se alimenta de mis lágrimas" (The devil hurts and feeds on my tears) and "El dolor te arranca el corazón" (The pain tears your heart apart). The desperation in the lyrics comes through with lines such as "y así le ofreces una parte de tu corazón que es él" (and thus you offer him a part of your heart that is his) which suggests that the singer is sacrificing themself for someone who may not appreciate it.

Overall, the song "A tu lado" is a complex portrayal of love, pain, and sacrifice. It explores the physical and emotional toll that some experiences can take on a person.
