Penumbras
Ricardo Fort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La noche, se perdio en tu pelo
La luna, se aferro a tu piel
Y el mar, se sintio celoso
Y quizo en tus ojos estar, tambien.

Tu boca, sensual, peligrosa
Tus manos, la dulzura son
Tu aliento, fatal, fuego lento
Que quema mis ansias y mi corazon.

Ternura, que simpleza pura
Caricias que brinda el amor
Caprichos muy despacio
En plena penumbra de un suave interior

Te quiero y ya nada inporta
La vida, lo ha dictado asi
Si quieres yo te doy el mundo
Pero no me pidas que no te ame asi

Si quieres yo te doy el mundo
Pero no ne pidas que no te ame asi.
Que no te ame asi.
Que no te ame asi.




Que no te ame asi.
Que no te ame asi.

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Ricardo Fort's song "Penumbras" is a beautiful ode to the power of romantic love. The night has become entangled in the hair of the person the singer is addressing, creating an intimate moment where the two people are the only focus of the world. The moon and the sea have become jealous of their connection, and even the ocean wants to be a part of the singer's lover.


The second verse continues this theme of intense passion, with the singer describing their lover's mouth as sensual and dangerous, while their hands exude sweetness. The singer's heart is set ablaze by their lover's breath, which is like a slow-burning fire that consumes their every desire. The final lines of this verse speak of the couple's intimacy, with tender touches and whispered desires taking place in the soft shadows of their private space.


The chorus of the song adds emotional weight to the lyrics, with the singer declaring their love for their partner regardless of any external factors or obstacles. As they sing "If you want, I'll give you the world, but don't ask me not to love you like this," the sincerity and depth of feeling in the song become clear, and the listener is left with a sense of the power of true love.
