1989
Robert Fripp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No hay otra cosa mas linda que tus ojos
Y el poder besar tus labios rojos
Y esa manera en que me hablas
Que me esta volviendo loco, loco

No hay otra cosa mas bella que tu rostro
Estoy tan feo que paresco un mounstro
Sabes que tiemblo cuando te beso
Aunque en mi cartera no hay un peso

Pero tu me enseñaste que en la vida
Eso no es importante
Que el amor es la cosa que deveria de preocuparme

Tratare, tratare
De ser tu hombre ideal
La persona que este contigo
Y que te deba de valorar

Lo lograre, lograre
Yo no me dejo derrotar
Despues de haber luchado un largo tiempo
Mi corazon ya quiere descansar
Lo lograre

No hay otra cosa mas bella que tu rostro
Estoy tan feo que paresco un mounstro
Sabes que tiemblo cuando te beso
Aunque en mi cartera no hay un peso

Pero tu me enseñaste que en la vida
Eso no es importante
Que el amor es la cosa que deberia de preocuparme

Tratare, tratare
De ser tu hombre ideal
La persona que este contigo
Y que te deva de valorar

Lo lograre, lograre
Yo no me dejo derrotar
Despues de haber luchado un largo tiempo
Mi corazon ya quiere descanzar
Lo lograre




Lo lograre
Despues de aver luchado un largo tiempo... lo lograre

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from Robert Fripp's song "1989" and are in Spanish. The singer is expressing their love and admiration for someone they find incredibly beautiful, particularly mentioning their eyes and red lips. Despite feeling they're ugly, the singer is deeply attracted to the person they're addressing and is falling in love with how they talk to them. They note that they're poor, but the other person has taught them that money isn't what's important in life, and that they should focus on love. The singer vows to try to become the ideal partner for this person and values them deeply, despite their own perceived inadequacies.


This song is a departure from Fripp's usual genre of rock and shows his versatility in writing and performing in Spanish. It's a sweet, romantic song that speaks to the universal nature of love and the importance of valuing someone for who they are, rather than what they can provide financially. The song's title, "1989" may be a reference to the year it was written or to a significant event that happened in Fripp's life at that time.

One of the giants in music history! A true genius!

@postive-vibes

Fripp is a great reminder that you can remain creative throughout your life.

@gianniguerriero

With the guitar he shows me the universe. Brilliant

@mojostephen

I've been a Fripp fan since about '70. He's gone through many incarnations, yet always seems to mystify. He's a true guitarist's guitarist whose unique style cannot be copied or imitated...

@BIGeSTRING

I am also a Fripp fan, but I think this is the same for too long. I prefer to hear him at king crimson

@pfmmodule5144

Saw him long time ago at the Roxy in LA. Was advertised as a lecture, but turned into a lengthy bit of him playing solo with the Frippertronics setup. Then a very lively Q and A. A wonderful evening

@doronron7323

How much deeper can this guy get into my soul?

@greyboy1528

He has the sweetest distortion. So fluid. 

@Hubs88

Never heard it put that way and I must agree.  Fripp is very special. 

@jameslondon6956

...I do believe this was recorded prior to the sustainiac's invention...Volume was a big factor in those days...
