Roma en el espejo
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tú me enseñaste a ver
Roma en el espejo
Y a quererlo atravesar

Tú me ayudaste a ver
En mi oscuridad
Una noche de sol

Hay una fuente cerrada
Por todos los deseos
Que se negaba a conceder

Y hay otra fuente aquí
Donde te desee
Al empezar a anochecer

Pensaré que la ciudad eterna
Tiene los días contados
Que cualquier cosa es más pequeña
Que todo nuestro amor

No, no quiero promesas
Tu solo dame un día
Y yo pondré otro día más

Hoy, hoy quiero estar contigo
En búsqueda y captura
Y no tener que escapar

Pensaré que la ciudad eterna
Tiene los días contados
Que cualquier cosa es más pequeña
Que todo nuestro amor

Overall Meaning

The song "Roma en el espejo" by Mikel Erentxun is a beautiful love song that explores the power of love and the way it can transform our lives. The lyrics are about a person who has been deeply touched by someone who taught them to see Rome in the mirror, metaphorically showing them the beauty and magic of the world around them. The person who taught them this is their lover, who has helped them find light in their darkness, giving them hope and joy.


The song also talks about two different fountains, one that refuses to grant wishes and a second one where the singer wishes for their lover as twilight approaches. They talk about how, in a city as magnificent as Rome - the eternal city - everything can seem small before the magnitude of their love. This powerful, life-changing love is something that they don't want to let go of, something that has transformed their world, and they don't want to make promises or escape from it. They just want to be with their lover, to search and capture their love, and spend time together in a moment of fleeting eternity.


Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of the transformative power of love, how it can help us see the world with new eyes and find hope in darkness. It is a moving tribute to the power of love to make our lives richer, more meaningful, and more beautiful.
