Ojala
Nicho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ojala que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
para que no las puedas convertir en cristal
ojala que la lluvia deje de ser el milagro que baja por tu cuerpo
ojala que el deseo se vaya tras de ti
ojala que la tierra no te bese los pasos

(coro)
ojala se te acabe la mirada constante

la palara precisa, la sonrisa perfecta
ojala pase algo que te borre de pronto
una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve
ojala por lo menos que me lleve la muerte
para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre
en todos los segundos, en todas las visiones
ojala que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones

ojala que la aurora no de gritos que caigan en mi espalda
ojala que tu nombre se le olvide esta voz
ojala las paredes no retengan tu ruido de camino cansado
ojala que la luna pueda salir sin ti
a tu viejo gobierno de difuntos why flores

coro

Overall Meaning

The song "Ojala" by Nicho Hinojosa is a powerful message of love and longing for someone who is no longer present in the singer's life. The lyrics express a series of wishes for the person, starting with the hope that the falling leaves will not touch their body and turn into crystal. This image represents the fragility of the person's state of being, which the singer wishes to protect. The singer then wishes that the rain, which is often seen as a symbol of renewal and growth, would no longer have the power to touch or affect the person. This is followed by a wish that the person's desires would leave them alone and not haunt their thoughts.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's deeper longing for the absence of the person. They wish that their constant gaze, precise words, and perfect smile would disappear, and that something would happen to erase their memories. The singer wishes for a sudden and blinding light or a gunshot of snow that would take them away, or even for their own death, just so they could stop seeing the person everywhere they go. They wish that they could no longer have any connection to the person, not even in songs. The song conveys a sense of intense love and devotion, tinged with a deep sense of despair and longing for something that cannot be regained.
