Silencio
Pitingo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mas quiero hoy el fandango es mi alegría,
Y es el cante que más quiero ,
Se alegran las penas mias,
Con un fandango alegrero.

Y al amanecer el día,
Tu dices que me has querío
Gitana del Sacromonte,
Tu dices que me has querío
Vas engañando a la gente.

Dios sabe lo que he sufrío
Me está costando la muerte
Silencio
No hay cosa que más me guste
Que besarte en el silencio
Y rozarte suavemente
Y hablarte del pensamiento
Sin que se entere la gente.

Mas quiero hoy el fandango es mi alegría,
Y es el cante que más quiero
Se alegran las penas mias




Con un fandango alegrego
Y al amanecer el día.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pitingo's "Silencio" describe a man who finds joy in the fandango, a popular Spanish folk dance and music style. He declares that it is the type of singing he loves the most, as it helps him to forget his sorrows and bring some lightness to his life. The man longs for the love of a gypsy woman from the Sacromonte area, but he knows she is playing games with him and lying to others about her affection. The man bears great suffering from his love, to the point that it is costing him his life. The chorus, "Silencio," which translates to "silence," marks a shift in tone from the man's love woes to the intimacy he desires in silent moments with his beloved. He longs to whisper his thoughts to her without anyone else hearing.


The song speaks to the power of music in uplifting our spirits in times of struggle and the yearning for love and intimate connection. The use of the fandango as a symbol of joy further emphasizes the importance of cultural roots in finding personal happiness, and the deep cultural significance of traditional Spanish music styles. The contrast between the man's public sorrows and private desires highlights the complexity of human emotions and the importance of finding safe spaces to express oneself fully.
