Cenizas
Sergio Dalma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vuelan las cenizas de tu amor
Y no queda nada, (no) solo dolor

Cada beso tuyo se oxido,
Lluvia de plata, que nos quemo

Ya no tengo nada que decir,
Perdoname,te llevaste los sueños,

Se volvieron las noches eternas sin ti
Se marchito, mi corazon,
Se arrastro a la deriva preguntando
A la vida cada noche por ti

Busco en cada beso tu sabor,
Te busco en cada mirada,
Te encuentro en cada cancion

Y todo huele a ti,lluvia de plata
Que borro en el firmamento,
Como secar el mar, como apagar el sol,
Si cada frase se la lleva el viento

Ya no tengo nada que decir,
Perdoname,te llevaste los sueños,
Se volvieron las noches eternas sin ti
Se marchito, mi corazon,
Se arrastro a la deriva preguntando
A la vida cada noche por ti

Mi corazon, se marchito, te llevaste los sueños,
Se volvieron las noches eternas sin ti (Bis)
Mi corazon, se marchito,
Se arrastro a la deriva preguntando
A la vida cada noche por ti

(Gracias a Jorge por esta letra)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sergio Dalma's song "Cenizas" talk about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The ashes of love are flying around, and all that is left is pain. The kisses that were once cherished have turned rusty, and the rain that used to feel like silver now burns. The singer has nothing left to say, and the dreams that were once shared with the lover are now gone, leaving an eternal night. The heart has withered away, questioning life every night, wondering where the lover is.

In search of the lover's taste, the singer looks for them in every kiss and sight, and they find them in every song. Everything around them reminds them of the lover, and it feels like the rain that wiped out their happiness has also erased the sky. As much as the singer tries, they can't seem to get over the lover, and every word to express their pain is lost in the wind. The heart has withered away, taking every dream with it, and the nights have become eternal without the lover.
