PIEL DE AZUCAR
Ray Sepulveda Lyrics

The lyrics to Ray Sepulveda's song PIEL DE AZUCAR are filled with emotions of love, longing, and heartbreak. The opening line, "Te recuerdo todavía con la cara desvelada," paints an image of someone remembering the person they loved with a face that was always awake with affection. The next line, "La ternura en la sonrisa y el verano en tu espalda," adds to the memory with the portrayal of a tender smile and the warmth of summer on their back. The following line, "Era casi de mañana, me dijiste hasta luego," suggests that the memory being recalled was a farewell, a goodbye that haunts the person in the present. The final line, "Te marchaste lentamente convirtiéndote en recuerdo," ends the first verse by cementing the loved one's departure and their transformation into a memory.

The chorus of the song repeats the painful longing of the singer. The lines, "Mis manos no pueden olvidarte, mis ojos extrañan tu mirada," express the difficulty of forgetting and the yearning for the loved one's gaze. The next line, "Y tu piel de azúcar en mis manos se vuelve salada," is a poetic metaphor for the bittersweetness of the memory. The longing is unavoidable, as shown in the line "Es inevitable la nostalgia, me duelen los días a tu lado," and the singer cannot resign themselves to the loss with the line, "Y no me resigno a perderte de brazos cruzados."

The second verse of the song continues the theme of longing, with the lines "Todo el tiempo transcurrido me lastima íntimamente" expressing the pain that the passing of time brings. The singer wishes for the loved one's return, but it seems futile with the line "Y pensar en tu regreso me resulta insuficiente." The final lines of the song, "Para mi no hay nada eterno y quieres ver estar contigo, nada más que por salvarme y creer que sigo vivo" reveal a glimmer of hope and the desperation to hold onto something that feels alive.
