Rosario Flores Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mermelada de miel de abejas sabes hoy.
Sabor sabor, de rojo melocotón
Sabe tu piel cuando te beso, sin saber
Que hablo de mis dulces sueños
Que reparto en cada parte de tu cuerpo.
Eh, eh, sin saber que es una trampa con cepo
Cada rincón, cada línea es un verso.
A fresca hierbabuena sabes hoy.
No me digas que no
Que soy como la fuerte hiedra
Y crezco, y trepo por las piedras, sin saber
Que más me enredo en tus locos besos
Que me llevan a flotar al universo.
Eh, elexir de gotas de un almendro
Que florece a cada paso del invierno.
Sin saber que es una trampa con cepo
Cada rincón, cada línea es un verso.
The lyrics to Rosario Flores's song "Sabor Sabor" are a love letter to the various flavors and sensations that the singer experiences when with her lover. The chorus, "Oh, sabor sabor," refers to the different tastes that the singer associates with her lover - "a fresa y a limón" (strawberry and lemon), "a mermelada de miel de abejas" (honey jam), "de rojo melocotón" (ripe peach). These flavors are not just physical but also metaphors for the sweetness and passion of the singer's love. The lyrics describe not only the physical sensations that the singer experiences when with her lover but also the emotional complexity of the relationship - "sin saber que es una trampa con cepo" (unaware that it's a trap with a spring).
The verses also convey a sense of surrender to the overwhelming power of love. The singer compares herself to a "fuerte hiedra" (strong ivy) that climbs up and grows around her lover, unable to resist their love. The intensity of their connection is expressed through images like "me llevan a flotar al universo" (they take me to float in the universe) and "el aliento que sale de mi alma" (the breath that comes out of my soul). The lyrics suggest that despite the risks and uncertainties of love, the singer is willing to take the plunge and allow herself to be swept away by the "sabor" of her lover.
