Es Por Ella
Raúl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que me ahoga dia a dia
Me duele tanto
Es por ella esta locura
por pensar que se desnuda en otros brazos
Es mi tortura
Y la siento aqui regalandome sus besos
Pero luego me despierto
(Coro:)
porque ella era tan mia
Era inmensamente mia
Y hasta su cuerpo era mi cuerpo
Era bella mas que bella
Era simplemente ella
Por ella yo vivia sin saberlo
Y si ahora muero sera por ella
es por ella que la vida va pasando
Y se escapa de mis manos
Y por la aucencia
De sus gestos y sus risas
Que resuenan todavia en mi conciencia
Dia tras dia
Y la siento aqui regalandome sus besos
Pero luego me despierto
y otra vez la hecho de menos
(Coro)
In Raúl's song "Es Por Ella," the lyrics express the melancholy and madness he experiences because of a woman he once loved. He feels suffocated by the pain she's caused him and can't help but think about her being intimate with someone else. The singer is tortured by these thoughts and dreams about her, but when he wakes up, he can't help but feel the emptiness of missing her. The chorus emphasizes the idea of how much she meant to him, even to the point of being willing to die for her.
The verses depict how the singer's life revolves around this woman, and without her, his life feels meaningless. He feels like time is slipping away, and all he can hear are the echoes of her laughter and gestures in his mind. The singer is haunted by the memory of her, and no matter how much he tries to forget, he can't seem to escape her hold on him.
Overall, "Es Por Ella" is a lamentation of a love that, despite being gone, still holds a powerful grip on the singer's life. It shows the pain and anguish that one can experience when love is lost and how it can have a profound impact on one's life.
