Nieblas Del Riachuelo
Miguel Montero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Turbio fondeadero donde van a recalar,
barcos que en el muelle para siempre han de quedar...
Sombras que se alargan en la noche del dolor;
náufragos del mundo que han perdido el corazón...
Puentes y cordajes donde el viento viene a aullar,
barcos carboneros que jamás han de zarpar...
Torvo cementerio de las naves que al morir,
sueñan sin embargo que hacia el mar han de partir...

¡Niebla del Riachuelo!..
Amarrado al recuerdo
yo sigo esperando...
¡Niebla del Riachuelo!...
De ese amor, para siempre,
me vas alejando...
Nunca más volvió,
nunca más la vi,
nunca más su voz nombró mi nombre junto a mí...
esa misma voz que dijo: ""¡Adiós!"".

Sueña, marinero, con tu viejo bergantín,
bebe tus nostalgias en el sordo cafetín...
Llueve sobre el puerto, mientras tanto mi canción;
llueve lentamente sobre tu desolación...
Anclas que ya nunca, nunca más, han de levar,
bordas de lanchones sin amarras que soltar...




Triste caravana sin destino ni ilusión,
como un barco preso en la ""botella del figón""...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Miguel Montero's song Nieblas del Riachuelo paint a vivid picture of a murky dock where boats come to rest and never leave. The shadows are long, and it's a place of pain and loss for those who have lost their hearts. The imagery is haunting, with bridges and ropes that the wind howls through, and coal boats that will never set sail. The dockyard is a grim cemetery for ships that dream of setting out to sea even in death.


The chorus speaks of the fog of the Riachuelo, the river that flows through Buenos Aires. The singer is anchored to memories and waiting for a love that has drifted away. There's a sense of resignation as the singer is resigned to the fact that the lover will never return. The song is sad and poignant, both for what was lost and what could have been.


Overall, Nieblas del Riachuelo is a song that captures the essence of a forgotten and forsaken dock, where hope is hard to come by, and dreams slowly fade away. It tells a story of loss, forever unfulfilled dreams, and missed opportunities.
