Todavía
Nacha Guevara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No lo creo todavía
estás llegando a mi lado
y la noche es un puñado
de estrellas y de alegría
Palpo gusto escucho y veo
y sin embargo todavía no lo creo
Tu regreso tiene tanto
que ver contigo y conmigo
que por cábala lo digo
y por las dudas lo canto
Nadie nunca te reemplaza
y las cosas más triviales
se vuelven fundamentales
porque estás llegando a casa
Sin embargo todavía
no puedo creer mi suerte
porque el cielo de tenerte
me parece fantasía
Pero venís y es seguro
y venís con tu mirada
y por eso tu llegada
hace mágico el futuro
Y aunque no siempre he entendido
mis culpas y mis fracasos
en cambio sé que en tus brazos
el mundo tiene sentido
Y si beso la osadía
y el misterio de tus labios
no habrá dudas ni resabios
te querré más todavía.

As the song progresses, the singer uses their senses - touch, taste, hearing, and sight - to confirm the reality of the situation, emphasizing the tangible presence of the person they thought they had lost.

The return of the loved one is described as a momentous event, intertwined with fate and the personal journeys of both the singer and the person they are welcoming back. The lyrics suggest a deep connection between the two, hinting at shared experiences and a profound understanding that transcends words.
