Niña de la sal
Psalteria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entre reflejos de plata
Dime dónde estará el mar
Donde los navíos vagan.
R: Dame la mano paloma
Para subir a tu nido
Que me han dicho que estás sola
Blanca niña de la sal
Entre nubes de algodón
Enséñame tus encantos
Antes de que llegue sol.
Blanca niña de la sal
Entre hojas datileras
Tus destellos me atraparon
Al llegar la primavera
Blanca niña de la sal
Entre reflejos salaos,
guerdián de la negra noche,
la luna te ha traicionao.
In "Niña de la sal," Psalteria sings about a white girl made of salt who reflects shiny silver as she walks. The song asks her where the sea is located and where the ships wander off to. The chorus asks the girl for her hand to go up to her nest, because they heard she is lonely and he is coming to sleep with her. The song continues with the singer being mesmerized by her charms and urging her to show him all of her beauty before the sun rises. The following verse talks about her glimmering in the springtime, ensnaring him with her radiance. Finally, the singer likens her to a guardian of the dark night, and the moon has betrayed her.
The lyrics of "Niña de la sal" are reminiscent of an old Spanish ballad with a somewhat poetic tone. The song expresses a longing for a love that is pure and natural, emphasizing the mesmerizing nature of the girl's beauty in a metaphorical way. It seems like the singer is infatuated with the idea of the white girl who represents something pristine and alluring. The song is sung in Spanish, adding a layer of exoticism and mystery to the story.
