Margarita
Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you know someone special
When the time passes by
Y recuerdas esos besos
Evidencias que hubo amor
Hoy recuerdo aquella niña del salón
As far as I go
Ay aquella muchacha linda
Que me entregó su amor
My eyes got sweet heart
But in one day used to be my baby
We acting kind of crazy
My one true love
Cuando has conocido a muchas pero no hay comparación
No hay
Margaritas no van
She had half of my heart
Y la siento ser mi dueña
Pagaría un millón
Por volver a encontrarme aquella flor
As far as I go
But I just remember Margarita
Ay aquella muchacha linda
Que me entregó su amor
My highschool sweetheart
But in one day used to be my baby
We acting kind of crazy
My one true love
Daría lo que no tengo
Por llegar a ese encuentro con la chica de mi ilusión
Margarita fue pasión
Melodía, inspiración
Y la musa que me incita a escribir esta canción
As far as I go
As far as I go
But I just remember Margarita
Ay aquella muchacha linda
Que me entregó su amor
My highschool sweetheart
But in one day used to be my baby
We acting kind of crazy
My one true love
As far as I go
Ay Margarita mi amor
Oh
My highschool sweetheart
Ay mi amor
Margarita la más linda del salón
The lyrics of Santana's "Margarita" are centered around a person who has fallen in love with a girl from his high school, named Margarita. The song begins with the person talking about how he initially had feelings towards Margarita which eventually converted into love. He reminisces about the time that has passed and remembers the kisses they shared, which are the evidence of the love they had. He talks about how he feels as if Margarita owns a part of his heart and he would do anything to see her again.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer cannot forget Margarita and how he still remembers her as the beautiful girl who gave him her love. The use of the phrase "my high school sweetheart" shows that their love story began in high school and that the memories of their love still linger in his mind even though they might not be together anymore.
The verse about how Margarita was the inspiration for his music shows how powerful their love was and how it played an important role in the singer's life. The chorus is repeated again at the end of the song, emphasizing the fact that Margarita was indeed the one true love and that she will always hold a special place in his heart.
