Vis A Vis
Meiway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que bonito mirar
la sombra que hacen las rejas
mientras meto las orejas
en el centro de tu andar.
Si el mundo esta del revés
habrá que buscar cordura,
y una pizca de locura
para saber quererte más.

Ayer te escribí una carta,
hoy te escribo esta canción.
Mañana tenemos cita
le roban tiempo al amor.
Volaremos sin movernos,
y donde haya que firmar
me haré una pequeña herida
con sangre que abarca el ma-a-ar

Para dejar por escrito, que no voy a abandonar.
Y ponerle sangre al grito, de los que aman sin poder amar.

Para dejar por escrito, que no voy a abandonar.
Y ponerle sangre al grito, de los que aman sin poder amar.

Esta voz no hay quien la calle.
Ni la pared ni el cristal,
Fuera se te hecha de menos,
Anda llorando la libertad.
Y después nos dejaremos,
Si nos queremos dejar,
a ellos nunca les dejamos
sus cadenas son de sal.
De una sal que se deshace
con mas lagrimas de sal,
de tu quejido y el mío
en vis a vis quincenal.x3

Para dejar por escrito, que no voy a abandonar.
Y ponerle sangre al grito, de los que aman sin poder amar.





Para dejar por escrito, que no voy a abandonar.
Y ponerle sangre al grito, de los que aman sin poder amar.x2

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meiway's song "Vis A Vis" reflect the singer's deep love for someone who is either physically or emotionally unavailable. The opening lines of the song describe the singer's fascination with the shadows created by the bars of a jail cell, suggesting that they may be visiting someone who is imprisoned. Despite their difficult situation, the singer expresses a desire to love the other person more deeply and passionately. The next verses further emphasize the singer's longing for their love interest as they describe writing letters and songs to them and setting aside time for them amidst the busyness of life.


Particularly poignant is the line "le roban tiempo al amor," which translates to "they steal time from love." The singer recognizes that their love is being tested by external circumstances, but chooses to hold on to it regardless. The final lines of the song suggest that the two may eventually part ways if their love cannot be sustained, but that the singer refuses to abandon their feelings and will continue to fight for them.


Overall, "Vis A Vis" is a tender and heartfelt ballad that speaks to the power of love to sustain us even in the darkest of times. Its poetic language and evocative imagery make it a powerful tribute to the enduring nature of human connection.

Befleli miss Lolo means they are called miss lolo


on Miss Lolo

The song Miss Lolo by Meiway is an upbeat and catchy tune that is a celebration of women and their bodies. The lyrics talk about the different women that the singer encounters and how they all have one thing in common - their "lolos" or breasts. The chorus repeats the phrase "Béfléli Miss Lolo" which roughly translates to "long live Miss Lolo". This can be interpreted as the singer expressing his admiration for women and their bodies, and encouraging them to be proud of their physical features.

The song also features a lot of Ivorian slang and references to different regions and people in Côte d'Ivoire. For example, the word "Bingoh" is a reference to the Bingerville region, and "Awoulaba" is the name of a popular dance in the country. These references add to the local flavor of the song and make it relatable to Ivorian audiences.
