Canción De Las Simples Cosas
Marina De La Riva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo mismo que un árbol en tiempos de otoño se quedan sin hojas
Por fin la tristeza es la muerte lenta de las simples cosas
Esas cosas simples que quedan doliendo en el corazón
Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios dónde amó la vida
Y entonces comprende como están de ausentes las cosas queridas
Por eso muchacho no partas ahora soñando el regreso
Demorate aquí, a la luz mayor de este mediodía
Donde encontrarás con el pan al sol y la mesa tendida
Por eso muchacho no partas ahora soñando el regreso
Que el amor es simple, y a las cosas simples las devora el tiempo
Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios dónde amó la vida
"Canción de las Simples Cosas" by Marina de la Riva is a beautiful song about the realization that as we grow older, we tend to leave behind the simple things in life that once brought us happiness and comfort. The song begins with the imagery of an autumn tree that sheds its leaves without realizing, just as we too part ways with things without giving it much thought. As time passes, we come to understand the sadness of losing those simple things as it reflects on our hearts, and it is a reminder that every little thing, good or bad, can have an impact on our lives.
The song's chorus "Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios dónde amó la vida" (One always returns to the old sites where they loved life) highlights the nostalgia that comes with aging and the urge to revisit places and moments where we felt genuine joy and happiness. However, the song advises against leaving those memories behind with the hope of returning to them someday because love, just like the simple things, can be devoured by time.
In essence, "Canción de las Simples Cosas" reminds us to cherish those small things that bring us joy and try to hold onto them instead of let them slip away, for they are essential in our lives.
