De que callada manera
Pablo Milanes/Silvio Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
como si fuera la primavera... yo muriendo!
y de que modo sutil me derramo en la camisa
todas las flores de Abril.
y quien le dijo que yo era
risa siempre y nunca llanto?
como si fuera la primavera
En cambio, que espiritual que usted me brinde una rosa
de su rosal principal!
De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo,
como si fuera la primavera... yo muriendo!
quien le dijo que yo era
risa siempre y nunca llanto?
como si fuera la primavera
no soy tanto!
En cambio, que espiritual que usted me brinde una rosa
de su rosal principal!
De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo,
como si fuera la primavera... yo muriendo!
The lyrics to "De que callada manera" by Pablo Milanés feat. Ana Belén are a beautiful expression of love and admiration for someone who enters their life in a quiet and gentle way. The singer is deeply affected by the presence of this person, and they are struck by the way their smile and demeanor can make them feel as though it is springtime, despite the struggles they may be facing. The singer feels as though they are dying, yet they are filled with the beauty of the world and the delicate, subtle magic of the person they are enamored with.
The lyrics go on to question who told the person that the singer was always happy and never cried, as if they were always in a state of springtime, when in reality that is not the case. However, despite this, the singer finds solace in the person's inner beauty, and the fact that they can share a simple moment, such as receiving a rose, feels incredibly spiritual and meaningful.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt declaration of love and appreciation for someone who has entered the singer's life quietly but has had a profound impact on them.
