China
Marilina Bertoldi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo no lo sé
Algo habrás, algo habrás hecho en mí
Que no puedo volver
En un instante caen, caen las armas
Ya no sé cómo romper
En un instante ya, me inunda el aire
Algo habrás, algo habrás hecho en mí
Que no puedo volver
Tanto hablar de desnudarme ante ti
Que me hace desvanecer
Y vuelo
Algo habrás, algo habrás hecho en mí
Que no puedo volver
Tanto hablar de desnudarme ante ti
Que me hace desvanecer
These lyrics are from Marilina Bertoldi's song "China". The song is about a person's inability to move on from a past relationship. The first line "¿Qué va a ser, qué va a ser de mí, mi amor, sin vos?" translates to "What will become of me, my love, without you?" The singer admits that they don't know how to move on after the relationship has ended.
The second line, "Algo habrás, algo habrás hecho en mí que no puedo volver," translates to "Something must have happened between us that I can't return from." The singer acknowledges that their ex-partner has had a profound effect on them and they can't seem to shake it off. The following lines describe the struggle of the singer as they try to move on.
The chorus of the song is "Algo habrás, algo habrás hecho en mí que no puedo volver, tanto hablar de desnudarme ante ti que me hace desvanecer" which means "Something must have happened between us that I can't return from, talking about being vulnerable with you makes me disappear." The singer can't grasp the idea of being vulnerable with someone new because they compare everything to their previous relationship.
Overall, "China" is a melancholic song that speaks of the struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The singer is in a fragile state and is unable to "disappear" from the memory of their ex-partner.
