Ahora Vuelves
Rubby Pérez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si no te hubieras lanzado
Del trono en que te subí
Si tu hubieras valorado
II
Seguramente que ahora
No estarías tan perdida
Como un barco a la deriva
Sin timón ni capitán
III
Ahora vuelves
Cuando ya de esperarte me canse
Abrazando el frió
Ahora vuelves
Cuando ya otro pájaro lleno
Tu nido vació
IV
Ahora vuelves
Pero ya no hay trono
Ya no te esperaba
Ahora vuelves
Ahora vuelves
Pero hoy del amor
Que había ayer
Ya no queda nada
V
Es verdad que hace unos años
En letargo yo vivía
Un deseo era una orden
Que imponía tu vanidad
VI
Pero te fuiste y fue tanto
El tiempo que te espere
Y comprendí muchas cosas
Y del sueño desperté

The lyrics to Rubby Pérez's song Ahora Vuelves speak about the regret one feels for giving too much love and attention to someone who didn't appreciate it. In the first verse, the singer speaks directly to the person he loved, saying that if they had valued the love he gave them and not thrown it away, they wouldn't be lost and alone like a ship without a captain. The singer then laments how the person has returned when he had already given up waiting for their return, embracing the coldness that was left behind when they were gone. The chorus repeats the phrase "ahora vuelves" which means "now you're back", and the singer expresses how there is nothing left of the love that was once shared.
In the second verse, the singer describes how he was once in a state of numbness and living vicariously through the desires of the person he loved. However, after waiting for them for so long, he woke up from the dream and came to terms with the fact that they didn't feel the same way. The repetition of the phrase "ahora vuelves" in the chorus emphasizes the sense of betrayal and disappointment the singer feels towards the person who left him behind.
Overall, the lyrics to Ahora Vuelves are a powerful portrayal of the pain of unrequited love and the regret that comes with it. The song captures the feelings of abandonment, disappointment, and despair that one feels when they give their all to someone who doesn't appreciate it.
