Roy Valentín Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tardé en comenzar
disculpa por favor.
Pero es hora de decir
lo que tengo para dar.

Y pienso que tal vez he debido resolver
en lugar de olvidar, así como ignorar.
Pertinente el devenir, necesario complacer
no hay culpa en el placer, más importante es sentir.

Momentos de reír,
amar y compartir,
aprender y extrañar,
construir tranquilidad.
'Me Cuesta Caminar',
'La Repetición' 'Dónde Va'.
Las distancias por llenar
con memorias del ayer.

Si sigo, ¿escucharás?
dime si leerás.
La vida adulta consumió
la inocencia vivida.
Ya no sé si seguir,
he pensado en parar.
Yo confieso:
I don't know how to écrire une chanson.

Refugio no hay aquí
sólo ruido y distorsión.
Eco y cuerdas suenan más
que palabras al azar.
Los compases y el tiempo
deshacen la canción.




Experimento invocación

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Roy Valentín reflects on his hesitance to begin something, apologizing for his delay. However, he realizes that it is now time to speak up and share what he has to offer. He acknowledges that perhaps he should have resolved issues instead of forgetting or ignoring them. He emphasizes the importance of embracing change, pleasing others, and experiencing pleasure without feeling guilty, as it is more important to genuinely feel.


The lyrics also mention moments of laughter, love, sharing, learning, and longing, which are essential for building tranquility. The song references other tracks such as 'Me Cuesta Caminar' (It's Hard for Me to Walk), 'La Repetición' (The Repetition), and 'Dónde Va' (Where Does It Go) to denote the need to fill the gaps and voids with memories from the past.


Roy Valentín questions whether anyone will continue listening or reading, expressing uncertainty about carrying on. The lyrics suggest that adulthood has consumed the innocence and vivacity he once had, leaving him unsure if he should continue or consider stopping altogether. He confesses his struggle with writing a song, using the phrase "I don't know how to écrire une chanson" (I don't know how to write a song) to convey his frustration and uncertainty.


The lyrics also mention the absence of refuge, highlighting only noise and distortion in his surroundings. The sound of echoes and strings becomes more prevalent than random words. The song emphasizes how the measures and passage of time can unravel the composition, likening it to an experimental invocation that takes shape and continues to resonate.
