Vendaval
Mon Laferte Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He esperado tanto, tanto, tanto tiempo
Buscando un amor
Un pedacito de fruta un trocito
De algún corazón

Yo necesito amar
A quien me quiera de verdad
Tal vez sea involuntario como un espasmo sicario

Un vendaval

Como la vida y la muerte
Como quien no se arrepiente de perder
Una gota de piedad
Para esta tempestad que llevo dentro

Con un mezcal en la mano
Recuerdo todos esos labios
Evocando algún amor, fantaseando una pasión
Quiero sentir

Ay mi vendaval
¿Dónde estarás?
En qué arrabal te me escondiste
Ven que te quiero besar

Ay mi vendaval
¿A dónde fuiste a parar?
Yo ya me cansé de esperar tu amor
Ven que te quiero besar

Hay tanto ruido allá afuera
Me siento como extranjera en mi ciudad
Si yo no me conociera
Juraría que estoy algo mal

De una laguna mental
Quién sabe donde iré a parar
La verdad y para ser honesta creo que esta soledad
Me está matando

Ay mi vendaval
¿Dónde estarás?
En qué arrabal te me escondiste
Ven que te quiero besar

Ay mi vendaval
¿A dónde fuiste a parar?
Yo ya me cansé de esperar tu amor
Ven que te quiero besar

Ay mi vendaval
Ven que te quiero amar
Quiero conocerte porque la verdad
Me estoy enfermando

De tanta soledad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mon Laferte's song Vendaval speak of the singer's yearning for love and connection with someone. She has waited for so long to find love and now just wants a small piece of someone's heart. The singer needs to love someone who loves her back, a connection that is involuntary, like a violent storm. She compares this storm to life and death, a force that cannot be stopped. She pleads for a drop of pity for the tempest that rages within her.

The singer recalls all the lips she has kissed while holding a mezcal in her hand. She longs to feel the passion that comes with love again. She addresses the vendaval, the storm of love that she so desperately wants to feel. She doesn't know where it is hiding or where it has gone, and she is tired of waiting for it. The singer feels out of place in her city, like a foreigner within her own home. She fears that her loneliness will be the death of her. She longs for the vendaval to come and sweep her off her feet, to cure her of her solitude.
