Nil Lara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know I'm not getting any younger
But you just don't understand
You bring smiles, how you bring me smiles?
But my world isn't getting any better
You know I see it everyday
Un poquito pa huele
Ahora que mama no esta ahi
Un poquito pa huele
You bring me joy, how you bring me joy?
But my heart is revolving in my passion
And there's nothing I can do to be
The way I see
'Cause my love isn't getting any wider
You know I see it everyday
Ahora que mama no esta ahi
Un poquito pa huele
Ahora que mama no esta ahi
Un poquito pa huele
You make me dance, how you make me dance?
And I twirl, yes, I twirl around the world
But I only think of the way we love
You make me love
And I swear, yes, I swear I keep on trying
But I only think of the way I fly
When you make me fly
And I try but I cannot let it go
You know I need it every day
Ahora que mama no esta ahi
Un poquito pa huele
Ahora que mama no esta ahi
Un poquito pa huele
Un poquito pa huele, huele
Un poquito pa huele
Un poquito pa huele, huele
Un poquito pa huele
Nil Lara's song "Crawl" is a melancholic and introspective reflection on the emotional turmoil caused by an intense and consuming love affair. The repeated line "You make me crawl" expresses the singer's feeling of being powerless and submissive to the other person's hold on him. Despite being aware of the negative impact the relationship has on his life, he can't help but be drawn to the excitement and passion it brings.
The lyrics also hint at the singer's struggle to balance his own desires and goals with the demands of the relationship. He acknowledges that he is not getting any younger, but the other person doesn't seem to understand his perspective. The line "And there's nothing I can do to be the way I see" suggests that the singer is aware of the compromises he has to make to keep the relationship going, but at the same time, feels that he is losing his sense of self.
The Spanish lines "Ahora que mama no esta ahi, un poquito pa huele" mean "Now that mom's not around, a little bit to smell." This phrase adds a layer of nostalgia and longing to the song, as if the singer is reminiscing about a passion that he experienced when he was younger and freer. The repetition of the phrase also has a hypnotic quality that reinforces the song's theme of being trapped in a cycle of love and desire.
Overall, "Crawl" is a poignant and honest portrayal of the joys and pains of falling in love, and the complex emotions that come with it.
