Santa Lucia
Miguel RÃos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu sonrisa la imagino sin miedo
Invadido por la ausencia
Me demora la impaciencia
Yo sí quiero conocerte y tú no a mí
Ya sé todo de tu vida y sin embargo
No conozco ni un detalle de ti
Y tus llamadas son muy cortas
Me pregunto si algun día te veré, por favor
Dame una cita, vamos al parque
Entra en mi vida, sin anunciarte
Abre la puerta y cierra los ojos
Vamos a vernos, poquito a poco
Dame tus manos, siente la mías
Como dos ciegos, Santa Lucía, yeah yeah
A menudo me recuerdas a mí
La primera vez pensé
Se ha equivocado
La segunda vez no supe qué decir
Las demás me daban miedo
Tanto loco que anda suelto y
Ahora sé que no podría vivir sin ti
Por favor
Dame una cita, vamos al parque
Entra en mi vida sin anunciarte
Abre la puerta y cierra los ojos
Vamos a vernos poquito a poco
Dame tus manos, siente la mías
Como dos ciegos, Santa Lucía
Santa Lucía yeah yeah
A menudo me recuerdas a mí
The song "Santa Lucia" by Miguel Ríos speaks about a person who is deeply attracted to someone they do not really know. The first stanza talks about how the writer sees a smile that they imagine without fear, but they are faced with the absence of the person they are thinking about. The writer is impatient and wants to meet the person they are thinking of, but the other person does not want to meet them. The second stanza continues with the writer saying how they know everything about the other person's life, but they do not know anything about the person themselves. The phone conversations between them are short, and the person wonders if they will ever meet the person they are so attracted to.
The chorus reflects the need for intimacy and connection, as the writer pleads for a chance to spend time with the other person and get to know them. They speak about going to the park and entering each other's lives without warning, and the sense of vulnerability and trust involved in such an encounter. The use of the blind saint Santa Lucia as a metaphor for feeling blindly in love is clever and adds distinction to the song. The final stanza brings everything together, as the writer admits that the other person reminds them of themselves. They initially thought the attraction was a mistake, but now they know that they cannot live without that person. The chorus repeats and ends the song with an all-encompassing plea for intimacy.
