Y dame tu paÑueloTu me lo quieres darSoy como el agua clara del rioPor ti quiero volar
¿a donde vas aurora mia?Donde tu voz me llamaLa cuna que te meciaYa no te canta mi nanaQue murio cuando nacias
¿a donde vas aurora?A donde vas ireBajo el sendero negro del rioCon el yo vivire
Y dame tu vestidoTu me lo quieres darSoy como el agua clara del rioPor ti quiero soÑar
The lyrics to Raphael's song Nana De La Aurora are about a woman named Aurora who is leaving to go somewhere. The singer asks her where she is going and she responds that she is going to the clear water of a river to drink. The singer then asks her for her handkerchief and she agrees to give it to him because he is like the clear water of the river and he wants to fly with her.
In the second verse, the singer asks Aurora where she is going again and she responds that she is going where his voice calls her. She also says that the cradle that used to rock her and sing lullabies to her no longer sings to her since it died when she was born. Again, the singer asks her for something, this time her dress, which she agrees to give him because he is like the clear water of the river and he wants to dream with her.
The song is about love, longing, and the desire to be with someone. The use of water imagery throughout the song symbolizes the singer's desire to be with Aurora and his willingness to go wherever she goes, just like water flows in a river. The lullaby that Aurora's cradle used to sing represents the singer's desire to be the one who sings her to sleep and comforts her. Overall, the lyrics are a beautiful and emotional description of a deep and meaningful love.
