Margarita
Parraleños Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me podía dormir
Toda la noche estuve meditando lo
Que tenía que decir
Mientras me lavaba bien la cara
Me miraba el terror
Miedo a que me rechazaras imposible
Por favor y fui a tu casa con la margarita
Mientras caminaba iba pensando
La estrategia a seguir
Cada paso es como un pétalo
Acelerado el corazón
Creo que hoy puede ser un gran día
Estoy seguro de ello, ¿O no?
Entonces la deshojé (entonces la deshoje)
Y después te encaré y reboté (otra vez)
Y reboté (otra vez)
Reboté y no lo podía creer
Reboté con vos, reboté otra vez
Me voy cabizbajo y no me importa
Volveremos a intentar
Sé que mi destino está marcado
Viviré buscándolo y otra vez estaremos allí
Con alguna otra flor
Siempre con la misma sensación
El gran día no fue hoy
No hay fuerzas alrededor
No hay pociones para el amor
¿Dónde estás? ¿Dónde voy?
Y reboté (otra vez) y reboté (otra vez)
Reboté y no lo podía creer
Reboté con vos, reboté otra vez
The lyrics to Parraleños's song "Margarita" depict a relatable and somewhat lighthearted story of unrequited love and the fear of rejection. The singer wakes up early in the morning, unable to sleep, and spends the entire night thinking about what they want to say to their love interest. As they wash their face, they feel terrified at the possibility of being rejected. Despite their fear, they gather their courage and go to the person's house with a margarita, full of hope and anticipation. They walk, pondering the strategy they should follow, their heart racing like petals falling. They believe that today could be a great day, although they question their certainty.
However, the outcome is not what they had hoped for. The singer becomes disheartened and leaves with their head down, but they are determined to try again. They know that their destiny is marked, and they will continue searching for it, always with the same feeling. The "great day" they had imagined did not come, and they are left feeling powerless with no magical potions for love. The lyrics end with the refrain of bouncing back, or "reboté" in Spanish, emphasizing the cyclical nature of their attempts to win over the person's affection.
Overall, the song captures the emotional rollercoaster of pursuing someone and the disappointment that can come with unrequited feelings. It explores themes of hope, fear, resilience, and the uncertainty of love.
