Tu Mirada
Medina Azahara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu mirada ya no la puedo olvidar
tus palabras ya no son igual
tus promesas de amor ya se olvidaron
y sólo queda tu recuerdo.
El amor que tú me das es como un sueño
tus besos para mis son la luz
me juraste no romper mis sentimientos
y ahora se rompió el amor.
Se rompió el amor
te fuiste de mí
y ahora en la noche
pienso en tí.
Ya no quedan más palabras de amor
nos miramos sin saber,qué hablar
solo queda el recuerdo del pasado
y un beso en el aire, amor.
tus palabras ya no son igual
tus promesas de amor ya se olvidaron
y sólo queda tu recuerdo.
El amor que tú me das es como un sueño
tus besos para mis son la luz
me juraste no romper mis sentimientos
y ahora se rompió el amor.
Se rompió el amor
te fuiste de mí
y ahora en la noche
pienso en tí.
Ya no quedan más palabras de amor
nos miramos sin saber,qué hablar
solo queda el recuerdo del pasado
y un beso en el aire, amor.
The lyrics of "Tu mirada" by Medina Azahara speak about the aftermath of a love that has gone sour, and the lingering memories that each person has of the other. The singer cannot forget the gaze of their former lover and how it used to make them feel, but acknowledges that the person they loved has changed since then. They do not speak to each other the way they used to, and the promises of love that were made have been forgotten. All that remains now is the memory of what could have been.
The singer expresses their disappointment in how their love has turned out, with lines like "El amor que tú me das es como un sueño" (The love you give me is like a dream) and "Y ahora se rompió el amor" (And now the love is broken). They still long for the passion and intensity they once had with their lover, but acknowledge that this cannot happen anymore, as the love has already been shattered.
In the end, the singer is left with only their memories of the past and a wistful kiss in the air. The song is a bittersweet reflection on the ups and downs of love, and how even the strongest feelings can eventually fade away.
