Sasha Sökol Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Penelope
Se despierta
Busca en la cama
Y encuentra
Entre las sabanas, sombras
Y entre promesas, sus piernas

Frio, frio, frio el cafe y ella piensa

Solo, solo, solo en caricias que queman
Ay de ti, penelope
Que tejes de ilusiones
El fin de las pasiones

El ya no vendra
Y el ya no vendra
Y el ya no vendra

Penelope
Se detuvo su cuerpo
Preso en la red del recuerdo
Siente en su espalda la pena
Y entre sus pechos, poemas
Penelope

Frio, frio,frio el cafe y ella piensa
Hu, solo solo en caricias que queman
Ay de ti, penelope
Tus ojos son imperios
Envolviendo los misterios

No dejan de llorar
No dejan de llorar
No dejan de llorar

Ay de ti
Penelope
Que tejes de ilusiones
El find elas pasiones

El ya no vendra
El ya no vendra
No, no
Y el ya no vendra
Ay de ti

No, oh
Uuuuuh, uuh.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sasha Sökol's song "Penelope" tell the story of a woman named Penelope who wakes up alone in bed and searches for her lover but only finds shadows and empty promises. She feels the coldness of her coffee and reflects on the loneliness she feels, longing for the passionate caresses that once burned within her. The lyrics convey her sense of longing, disappointment, and the realization that her lover will not return. Penelope's body becomes frozen, trapped in the memories that hold her captive. She feels the weight of her sorrow on her back, and among her breasts, there are only poems left.

The repetition of the phrases "Frio, frio, frio el cafe" and "Solo, solo, solo en caricias que queman" emphasizes Penelope's cold and lonely state. The mention of her eyes being imperial and concealing mysteries shows that she is still holding on to illusions, even though her lover will not come back. The final lines, "Ay de ti, penelope / Que tejes de ilusiones / El find elas pasiones / El ya no vendra," express the pain and sorrow in Penelope's heart, as she realizes the end of her illusions and the loss of her passions.
