Julie Christie
Nadadora Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me dices que todo un mundo nos espera
que nos cubren todas las estrellas
así que vamos ya
te esperaré donde siempre

Si me convences de que todo es verdad
no volveré a disparar
a las estrellas nunca más

Me dices bajo la lluvia de septiembre
que tu y yo para siempre

Si me convences de que todo es verdad
no volveré a disparar
a las estrellas nunca más

Convénceme que es verdad

y te prometo que me voy a quedar
siempre a tu lado

Overall Meaning

The song "Julie Christie" by Nadadora is a reflection of the excitement and fear that comes with falling in love. The first few lines of the song show the vocalist being told that there is a whole world out there waiting for them. They are encouraged to take the leap and explore all that life has to offer. This sounds appealing, but the singer is hesitant.

They are asked to trust that everything they are being told is true, that they can have everything they want if they just go for it. In this context, “shooting stars” is used as a metaphor for reaching for the stars, or taking a risk for something that seems impossible. The singer is asking to be convinced to believe that all of this is true, but it is not an easy feat. However, they acknowledge that if they can be convinced, they will stop being hesitant and take that leap of faith, never looking back.

Throughout the song, the lyrics of "Julie Christie" by Nadadora express the idea of needing to be convinced that true love and lasting happiness are possible. There is a sense of desperation for the singer, who wants to believe in the romantic notions that are being presented to them, but they need some assurance that love and happiness can be found. It is clear that this is a very important issue for the singer of the song and they need to be convinced that the journey is worth taking.
