"Guitar, pedal, amp… this utterance might sound classical nowadays. However Nina Garcia solo project makes it unheard of. Her group mamiedaragon describes itself as "no wave no noise no tapes". Perhaps this is a sign of a post post-punk hyper removal strategy? Not yet. The apparent negativity of her arrangement overturns, or "explodes like a piñata", under the innovative pressure between fingers and metal scrap, in search of a soundwave to chisel, round off, taper and slash" (Luff 2016)
Que Ya No Estas
Mariachi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
--------------------------------------------------
Siempre sonreías y me compartiste
tus pláticas largas que se te ocurrían
el beso en la mejilla y abrazo en la mañana
son bellos recuerdos, quién lo pensaría.
Una vida dura sufriste en tu infancia
pero no cambiaste por nada tu esencia
y en tu espalda rota me llevaste con cariño.
Y ahora que no estás
sé lo que es dolor y no lo comprendo
por qué tenías que irte con Dios y despedirte
si tú eras mi alegría.
Y ahora que no estás
los recuerdos viven en mi alma rota
no dejo de extrañarte, por siempre habré de amarte
nos veremos algún día.
Fue en una mañana sin que lo quisiera
te fuiste de mi lado para no volver
pero hoy tus enseñanzas y tu vida entera
serán parte importante de todo mi vivir.
Y ahora que no estás
sé lo que es dolor y no lo comprendo
por qué tenías que irte con Dios y despedirte
si tú eras mi alegría.
Y ahora que no estás
los recuerdos viven en mi alma rota
no dejo de extrañarte, por siempre habré de amarte
nos veremos algún día.
Deseo volver a verte.
The lyrics of "Que Ya No Estás" by Mariachi express the profound emptiness and pain experienced after the departure of a loved one. The opening lines reminisce about the joyful moments shared with the person, their long conversations and the affectionate gestures of a good morning kiss and embrace. These memories are now cherished, reflecting the disbelief that such happiness could be lost.
The song then delves into the hardships the person endured during their childhood - hunger and cold becoming their constant companions. Despite these challenges, their essence remained unchanged, exemplifying their unyielding character and resilience. The lyrics emphasize the significance of their caring nature, as they carried the burden of the singer's broken spirit with love, perhaps metaphorically representing the support and guidance they provided.
The chorus of the song highlights the confusion and inability to comprehend the pain felt after their departure. The singer questions why they had to leave and bid farewell to continue their journey with God, especially when they were the source of joy and happiness. The absence of their presence leaves an indelible mark, resulting in a shattered soul that constantly yearns for their return. The lyrics express an eternal love that will never wane, promising a future reunion, when they will see each other again.
The bridge of the song reveals that the departure was unexpected, occurring on a morning where the singer never anticipated saying goodbye. The teachings and the complete life of the departed become integral to the singer's existence, forming a significant part of their being. These lessons and experiences will forever shape the singer's life, bringing comfort in the pain of their absence.
The final line expresses a heartfelt desire to see them again, indicating the longing and longing for their return. In just a few verses, the lyrics effectively convey the depth of sorrow and love experienced in the wake of their departure, leaving a sense of hope for a future reunion.
