Vendaval
McEnroe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hice un avión de papel
Y escribí tu nombre en él,
Creyendo que podrías ver
Con altura lo que no ves.
Y a aquella cima me subí,
Desde allí lo lancé.
Pero el aire no nos quiso nunca ayudar.
Planeó a ras de suelo hasta que ya dejé

De verlo y ya nunca lo volví a encontrar.

Yo te he visto sonreir
Atravesando aquel pinar
Y cuando no puedo dormir
Me vuelvo a preguntar
¿Por qué el aire no nos quiso nunca ayudar?
Nunca alzó del suelo,
No me viste desde el cielo,
Se perdió con el vendaval.

Buenas noches mi amor,
Que no sé dónde estás tú, dónde estoy yo...

Siempre estarás junto a mi,
Que sea otro quien te haga feliz.

Overall Meaning

In McEnroe's song "Vendaval," the singer reflects on past memories with their lover while contemplating why their attempts to connect ultimately failed. The opening verse describes an attempt to communicate with their lover through a paper airplane with their name written on it. The singer launches the plane from a mountain top, hoping that the wind will carry it high enough for their lover to see it from above. However, the plane never takes flight and falls to the ground. This exemplifies the futility of the singer's attempts to reach their lover through grand gestures and romanticized ideals.

The chorus provides insight into the singer's thoughts about their lover. They recall a time when they saw their lover smiling while walking through a nearby forest, and wonder why they were unable to connect on a deeper level. The singer is left to question whether the actions they took were misguided and if their attempts to reach their lover's heart were in vain. The final lines of the song express the singer's love for their lover, even though they are apart, and their desire for their lover to find happiness even if it's not with them.

Overall, "Vendaval" is a poignant reflection on love and loss. The song captures the essence of yearning for someone who is physically absent, while also grappling with a sense of disappointment or regret for the actions that were taken to try and bridge the gap between two people.
