Their music mixes pop and classic rock and covers everyday worries such as love, solitude and the search for ideals, using basic and delicate melodies coupled with sincere lyrics.
Their first album "He Perdido Los Zapatos" (I've lost my shoes) - Universal 2006, turned out to be a big hit (going gold for more than 40,000 copies sold), for which they won the "Ondas" prize for Best New Group, as well as a nomination in the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006. Their single "En Qué Estrella Estará" (Which Star Will It Be In) was the theme for the Spanish Cycling Tour in 2006. Now they've just released "Retales De Carnaval", their second album, whose lead single, "Tenía Tanto Que Darte" is a huge success.
Perdida
Nena Daconte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como ese llanto de vida al gemir del placer de cogerte
Lágrima y canto se unen en una canción
Dulces recuerdos que acorralan la pasión
Como si fuera esta vez la última vez que salga el sol
Como ese ser de coral contando los siglos con los dedos.
Perdida en un océano de sal
Buscando beberte
Colarme por ti
Perdida en un puerto sin mar por ti.
Como el desmayo del tiempo que pasa
Entre todas mis notas de amor
Como la luz de saber que no vas a volver a pedirme perdón
Lágrimas en el balcón esperando tu adiós
Dulce paciencia pintando la desilusión.
Como si fuera esta vez la última vez que sale el sol
Como ese ser de coral que cuenta los siglos con los dedos.
Perdida en un océano de sal
Buscando beberte
Colarme por ti
Perdida en un puerto sin mar por ti.
Perdida en un océano de sal
Buscando beberte
Colarme por ti
Perdida en un puerto sin mar por ti.
Perdida en un océano de sal
Buscando beberte
Colarme por ti
Perdida en un puerto sin mar por ti.
The lyrics of Nena Daconte's song 'Perdida' are melancholic and reflective, with the singer describing feeling lost and adrift, searching for the solace and comfort of a lost love. The opening lines set the tone of the song perfectly, comparing the innocent breeze of the sea that can bring both joy and pain, to the conflicting emotions that come with the memory of this lost love. The singer then goes on to describe the sensation of being swept up in the passion of being intimate with someone, as well as the bittersweet experience of holding onto the memories of this connection after it is over.
The chorus is a powerful repetition of the image of being 'lost in an ocean of salt', as if drowning in the memories of this love, and searching for a way to escape. The final lines of the song are perhaps the most haunting, as the singer describes being lost in a port without a sea, feeling trapped and without direction as they continue to seek out the person that they have lost. Overall, the song is a poignant look at the ways that love can leave us feeling stranded and without hope, yet still searching for a way back to the one that we so desperately miss.

When my friend and I went to Madrid we could only watch the music channels in the hotel, as the others were all in Spanish, and this was our favourite song by far. It opened our eyes to Spanish music!
