Nova
Portonovo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sé por qué
Tus lágrimas se hielan una y otra vez
Al caer a tu copa medio azul o gris
Rozando los cristales que pueden romper
Y no lo logro entender

Y ya sé que hace frío
Y que hoy
Hoy me odias un poco más
Pero hay que entender
Que es mejor terminar ya

Te puedo ver
Diciendo tonterías para esconder
Una tristeza absurda que te sienta mal
Fingiendo que te ríes sin saber por qué
Y no lo quiero entender

Y no sé que hay que decir
Cuando no hay nadie más
Que tú y que yo
Y nos callamos los dos
Y lo paso tan mal
Pensando en que pensarás

Qué más da




Qué más da
Qué más da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Nova" by Portonovo express confusion and misunderstanding towards the pain and sadness of a loved one. The singer cannot understand why their tears freeze when they fall into their drink, and why they try to hide their sadness with silly jokes and fake laughter. Despite the cold and the mutual hatred, the singer knows that it's better to end the relationship and stop pretending that everything is fine. However, the prospect of being alone with their thoughts and the fear of what the other person might think make them feel even worse.


The repetition of "no lo logro entender" ("I can't understand it") and "no lo quiero entender" ("I don't want to understand it") highlights the frustration and the emotional distance between the two characters. The use of blue and gray colors, as well as the image of the glass that can break, create a sense of fragility and vulnerability. The last lines, "Qué más da", can be interpreted as a resigned and ironic statement, implying that nothing really matters anymore.


Overall, "Nova" is a melancholic and introspective song about the end of a relationship, characterized by a sense of isolation, uncertainty, and unexpressed feelings.
