Al filo de la madrugada
Rosana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Al filo de la madrugada
Prendió la luz de la mañana
Y escribió en papel, una y otra vez
Me despido, me marcho pa' no volver
Salió a vivir con tantas ganas
Que echó a correr pidiendo nada
Y empezó a creer, que por una vez
El dolor que sentía le haría bien

Lo que duele no es irse, duele despedirse
Lo que duele no es el invierno gris
Lo que mata y remata es la cicatriz
Lo que hoy duele, mañana puede que sea nada
Porque un mundo despierta, cuando el otro se apaga

El corazón no se equivoca
Se guarda todo lo que toca
Late por amor, late por dolor
Se confunde, se entrega, se parte en dos
Sabe perdonar, pero no sabrá olvidarse
Porque el corazón solo sabe hacer las paces
Y empezó a creer que por una vez
El dolor que sentía se iría





Lo que duele no es irse, duele despedirse
Lo que duele no es el invierno gis

Overall Meaning

Al filo de la madrugada is a song by Rosana that speaks about the pain of saying goodbye or goodbye to a loved one. The song starts off by describing how, towards daybreak, the light of the morning comes and the writer (presumably a protagonist) begins to write on a paper. The singer writes, repeatedly, about leaving and saying goodbye to never come back. The singer talks about how the singer left with so much eagerness and began to believe that the pain they felt would eventually do them good.


The next part of the song talks about how it is not leaving that hurts, but the act of saying goodbye. The singer points out how the heart stores all of the emotions it touches, from love to pain, confusion, and heartbreak. The heart knows how to forgive but not how to forget. The singer, at first, thought that the pain they felt would go away, but they started to realize that it was the goodbye that hurt the most rather than leaving itself. The song ends with the singer expressing how, although it hurts now, the pain will eventually fade away and that a new world will awaken as the old one fades out.
