Dos Cruces
Marina De La Riva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con su lunita plateada
Testigo de nuestro amor
Bajo la noche callalda
Y nos quisimos tu y yo
Con un amor sin pecado
Pero el destino ha querido
Que vivamos separados
Estan clavadas dos cruces
En el monte del olvido
Por dos amores que han muerto
Sin haberse comprendido
Estan clavadas dos cruces
En el monte del olvido
Por dos amores que han muerto
Que son el tuyo y el mio
Ay, barrio de Santa Cruz
Ay, plaza de Doña Elvira
Os vuelvo yo a recordar
Y me parece mentira
Ya todo aquello pasó
Todo quedó en el olvido
Nuestra promesas de amores
En el aire se han perdido
Estan clavadas dos cruces
En el monte del olvido
Por dos amores que han muerto
Sin haberse comprendido
Estan clavadas dos cruces
En el monte del olvido
Por dos amores que han muerto
Que son el tuyo y el mio
Que son el tuyo y el mio
The song "Dos Cruces" by Marina De La Riva talks about a love story that took place in Sevilla under the moonlight. It was a love without sin, but fate did not allow them to be together. The lyrics describe how the two lovers reminisce about their love story while wandering by the streets of Sevilla. They recall the neighborhoods and towns where they used to meet and fall in love, such as the Barrio de Santa Cruz and the Plaza de Doña Elvira. The lyrics express the sadness and desperation of two lovers who could not be together because of fate, as symbolized by the two crosses on the mountain of oblivion. These two crosses represent the death of the two lovers' love stories that could not make it, nor come into understanding.
The song's depth is not only in its symbolism; it also draws on many aspects of Sevilla's culture, including the famous neighborhoods and landmarks mentioned in the song. The song doesn't just tell a story of two lovers who were unable to be together, but it also depicts the beauty and significance of Sevilla's history and the emotional impact of a lost love. It will inspire anyone who has lost a love to reflect on the good memories of the past and helps us to come to grips with the profound realization that things may not always go as planned.
