Me dan miedo las noches
Platero y tú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué rojos son tus labios
Qué negras tus mentiras
Me estoy volviendo loco
No encuentro la salida.
Me engaña y me lo creo
Me invento pesadillas
Y como de costumbre
Me tiro a la bebida.
Los sueños de verano
Quedaron en la esquina
Ahora todo es extraño
Me duelen tus caricias.
Me dan miedo las noches,
Me asustan las mañanas
Ya no entro en nuestro cuarto
Que está lleno de nada.
Te insulto y te desprecio
La risa acaba en llanto
Si crees que no te quiero,
Dime por qué te canto.
Y muérdeme las venas
Verás como no sangro
Mi corazón es piedra
Desde que te has marchado.
Porque yo sin ti no puedo respirar
Y cuando estoy contigo siempre acabo mal...
Porque yo sin ti no puedo respirar




Y cuando estoy contigo siempre acabo mal.
Porque yo sin ti...

Overall Meaning

The song "Me dan miedo las noches" by Platero y tú is a heartfelt tribute to the struggle of a man to cope with the aftermath of a break-up. This song depicts the sense of despair and confusion that follows the end of a relationship, as well as the struggle to move on and find a new path in life.


The lyrics of the song are infused with vivid imagery, describing the singer's pain in a way that feels both poignant and raw. The first lines of the song, "Qué rojos son tus labios / Qué negras tus mentiras", express the contrast between the outward allure of the singer's former lover and the bitter deception that eventually led to their separation. The singer also describes his own reaction to the break-up, which included drinking and inventing nightmares to explain his pain.


Despite this expression of hurt and confusion, the song also highlights the singer's deep feelings for his former partner. He both insults and adores her, and despite his better judgment, he cannot let go. The chorus of the song repeats the line "Porque yo sin ti no puedo respirar" ("Because without you, I cannot breathe"), emphasizing both the depth of the singer's feelings and his dependence on his former partner.
