Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amapola, lindisima amapola,
Será siempre mi alma tuya sola.
Yo te quiero, amada niña mia,
Iqual que ama la flor la luz del día.
Amapola, lindisima amapola,
No seas tan ingrate y ámame.
Amapola, amapola
Cómo puedes tú vivir tan sola.

Yo te quiero, amada niña mía.
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día.

Amapola, lindísima amapola,
No seas tan ingrate y ámame.
Amapola, amapola
Cómo puedes tú vivir tan sola.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Poppy, pretty little poppy
My soul will always be only yours
I love you, my dear girl,
As the flower loves day's light.
Poppy, pretty little poppy,
Don't be so hard and love me.
Poppy, poppy
How can you live so alone.

I love you, my dear girl.
The same as the flower loves day's light.

Poppy, pretty little poppy,
Don't be so hard and love me.

Poppy, poppy
How can you live so alone

Overall Meaning

The song, Amapola, is a romantic song that speaks about the singer's love for a woman he refers to as Amapola (poppy in English). The singer declares his love for Amapola and compares it to the love a flower has for daylight. He begs Amapola not to be ungrateful and to reciprocate his love, questioning how she can live so alone. The use of the poppy flower as a metaphor for love is quite evident in the lyrics of the song. The singer's love for Amapola is described as being just as strong and essential for him as the poppy's love for daylight is to the flower.

The song's melody is upbeat and lively, but the lyrics speak of longing and deep feelings, which makes the contradiction between the music and lyrics quite interesting. The song's lyrics are simple and direct, making it easy to understand the singer's emotions and message. The use of the word 'ingrate' in the lyrics to describe Amapola's unresponsiveness to the singer's love also adds a touch of frustration and disappointment to the song, highlighting the depth of the singer's feelings.
