La Sangre
Sergio Lagos Lyrics

The song La Sangre by Sergio Lagos tells a story of a relationship that has come to an end, but the memories of it still haunt the singer. The opening lines, "La sangre en el cuerpo, tu piel en mi piel, tu mano abierta otra vez, la rendición de mi ser", indicate the intense physical and emotional connection between the two in the past. However, the singer finds it difficult to imagine moving on from what they had, "No es tan fácil volver a imaginar, dejar de lado todo lo que pasamos, no es tan fácil volver a reaccionar, dejar de lado todo." The chorus draws out the pain of separation and bitterness towards the person who once meant everything, "y me quedo solo, ya no eres mi gracia, y maldigo el fruto de tus pueblos, y castigo el color de tu aliento." The final lines emphasize the passing of time; whether it's a year, a century, or a lifetime, the singer must find a way to carry on without the other person's love and affection.

As the song progresses, more details of the past relationship are revealed. "El cuerpo ardiendo, tu mundo al revés, tus viejos sables sobre mí, la pudrición de tu ser," suggests a tumultuous and possibly abusive dynamic, with the ex-partner's "viejos sables" (literally, "old sabers") implying they have a history of causing harm. The line "yo te conocí, lo sabes bien" seems to acknowledge that the singer has understood and accepted the relationship's loving and destructive aspects, but must find a way to move forward alone.

Overall, La Sangre describes the complex emotions that come with the end of an intense relationship - pain, bitterness, longing, and ultimately, acceptance of a new reality. The lyrics are poetic and evoke vivid images of physical and emotional entanglement, as well as the process of healing and recovery.
