Celos
Raphael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo sé que lloran tus ojos
Cuando me ves abrazarla así
Yo sé que tienes niña, herida el alma
Yo sé que por las noches cuando te marchas
Cruzas llorando mi patio
Como una luz que se apaga así
Yo sé que tienes niña, herida el alma
Yo sé muy bien
Que te has sentido feliz
Sentada junto a mi hoguera
Dejando tu primavera pasar
Y sé también
Lo mucho que me has querido
Y alguna vez he sentido dolor
Yo sé que tienes celos de mi guitarra
Yo sé que tiemblan tus manos
Cuando me ves abrazarla así
Yo sé que tienes niña, herida el alma
No puede ser
Mi adolescencia pasó
Dormida está como un niño
Entre unos libros que nunca aprendí
Recuérdame y vive tus quince años
Yo te prometo soñarlos, adiós
The song "Celos" by Raphael is an emotional piece about a woman who is jealous of the singer's guitar. The lyrics suggest that the woman is deeply hurt by this jealousy, and even cries when she sees the singer embrace his guitar. The singer acknowledges the woman's pain, saying that he knows she crosses his patio crying at night, like a light that is slowly being extinguished.
Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about the woman's past happiness and love for him, and mentions how he has felt pain on occasion. However, it is clear that the singer's relationship with his guitar is a point of contention for the woman, and he acknowledges her hurt in a compassionate way. The song concludes with the singer asking the woman to remember and live her own youthful experiences, promising to dream of them too.
Overall, "Celos" is a powerful portrayal of the complex nature of romantic jealousy and the ways in which it can impact relationships. The lyrics convey a great deal of empathy for the woman's feelings, while also acknowledging the singer's own connection to his guitar.
