Rehlaender Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que miras mi dolor,
Que sabes mi sufrir.
Baja y dime si me quiere un poco
Porque ya no puedo sin su amor vivir.
Estrellita del lejano cielo,
Que sabes mi sufrir.
Baja y dime si me quiere un poco
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir.
Tú eres estrella, mi faro de amor,
Tú sabes que pronto he de morir.
Baja y dime si me quiere un poco
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir.
Baja y dime si me quiere un poco
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir.
The lyrics to Estrellita by Rehlaender speak to the pain and desperation of someone deeply in love with another person. The singer is talking to a star in the sky, asking for its help in understanding whether or not their loved one returns their feelings. The star represents a kind of all-knowing force that has insight into the singer's pain and suffering, and is therefore seen as a symbol of hope and guidance. The singer pleads with the star to come down and tell them if their loved one feels the same way, because they feel that they cannot go on living without their love.
The song is a beautiful and poignant expression of love and longing. It captures the depth of emotion that comes with truly caring for someone, and the fear and desperation of not knowing whether or not that love is reciprocated. The metaphor of the star is a powerful one that resonates with listeners on a deep level, representing the idea that even when we feel lost and alone, there is always something or someone watching over us, offering guidance and hope.
