Las Simples Cosas
Martirio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Insensiblemente de pequeñas cosas.
Lo mismo que un árbol
Que en tiempo de otoño se queda sin hojas.
Al 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 donde amo la vida
Y entonces comprende como estan de ausentes las cosas queridas.
Por eso muchacha no partas ahora soñando el regreso
Que el amor es simple y a las cosas simples las debora el tiempo.
Demorate a ti, en la luz solar de este medio día
Donde encontraras con el pan al sol la mesa tendida.
Por eso muchacha no partas ahora soñando el regreso
Que el amor es simple y a las cosas simples las debora el tiempo.
Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios donde amo la vida...
The song "Las Simples Cosas" by Martirio talks about how people tend to leave behind and forget about the small things in life that once held so much value to them. The lyrics compare this to the leaves falling off a tree during autumn, representing change and letting go. The melancholic tune and emotional vocals emphasize the idea that once these simple things are gone, they leave a painful and lasting mark on our hearts.
The song also touches on the theme of nostalgia and how revisiting familiar places can make us realize just how much we've lost. The line "Uno vuelve siempre a los viejos sitios donde amo la vida" (One always returns to the old places where they loved life) emphasizes the idea that revisiting these old sites makes us recognize how much we miss the people and things that were once an integral part of our lives.
Overall, "Las Simples Cosas" encourages listeners to embrace and value the little things in life before they become distant memories. Through the use of expressive lyrics and a soulful tune, the song conveys the importance of cherishing what we have in the present moment.
