Mariana Baraj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Será mi despedimiento
A lejas tierras me voy
Con el agua y con el viento
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sentida me voy de aquí
De las penas de este mundo
Una tan sola es verdad
Que no saben los demás
Ya viene la triste noche
Pa mi que vivo penando
Duerman los que tengan sueño
Yo los velaré cantando
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sentida me voy de aquí
The first stanza of Mariana Baraj's "Ya viene la triste noche" conveys the singer's imminent departure from their current dwelling. As dawn approaches, the singer prepares to set off for distant lands, propelled by the elements of water and wind. The lines "De las penas de este mundo / Una tan sola es verdad / La pena de cada uno / Que no saben los demás" reflect upon the universal experience of pain and suffering that remains largely unknown or unrecognized by others. The singer acknowledges the existence of their own pain as well as the pain of others, which remains hidden from sight. The repetition of "ay, ay, ay, ay" imbues the stanza with a sense of pathos, underscoring the weight of the singer's emotions.
The second stanza evokes a sense of impending melancholy as nightfall approaches. Whereas others may sleep soundly, the singer will remain awake, coping with their emotions through song. The repetition of "ay, ay, ay, ay" continues to amplify the sense of regret and sadness. Here, the song takes on a communal character, highlighting the way in which music can bring people together in times of sorrow. Overall, "Ya viene la triste noche" is a poignant reflection on the human experience of pain, loneliness, and the power of music to connect us in times of adversity.
