Danza
Marilina Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de este tiempo no tan bello
porque sola no est谩s
Danza sobre antiguas cenizas
sobre todas tus heridas
sola no est谩s
Si la imagen de tu espejo ya no est谩
ser谩 que est谩s aprendiendo a caminar
el olor del invierno
sola no est谩s
Danza bella ni帽a, peque帽a ni帽a,
distorsiones del tiempo
sola no est谩s
Sobre el humo que cubri贸 la luz de nuestra ciudad
y aunque duele no lo podemos modificar
Danza sobre el dolor que la danza
lo consumir谩
Danza sobre tu calle que danza
sobre esta casa que danza
si no se puede hacer m谩s... por ahora
Danza sobre la desventura
a la luz de la luna
sobre el campo y el mar
Danza es caricia, es pudor,
danza no es odio, es amor,
es aprender a volar
Si pudieras danzar por el aire
tambi茅n las estrellas podr铆an abrazarte
De veras
No sigas aferrada a tus dolores
que no saben danzar
Danza junto a tu vida que danza
junto a todo lo que falta
si no se puede hacer m谩s
Danza, danza, danza.
The lyrics to Marilina Ross's song Danza are about dancing through difficult times and past trauma. The singer encourages someone - described as a "little girl" - to dance with them, even when life is not beautiful. The lyrics depict the act of dancing as a way to transcend pain and hurt, and to find inner strength and courage. The song suggests that dancing is a form of healing, and encourages the listener to leave behind their suffering and embrace the joy and beauty of life.
The imagery of the song is evocative and powerful: the "restos de cristales" (broken glass) and "antiguas cenizas" (ancient ashes) symbolize the pain and hurt that the listener is dancing through. The singer reminds them that they are not alone in their struggles, as the dance happens "junto a todo lo que falta" (together with everything that's missing). The song highlights the importance of dancing in our lives, as a way to re-connect with our inner strength and resilience, and to find beauty and joy in the midst of pain and hardship.
