agua
Sergio Y Estibaliz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Agua, estancada o dormida
o arrasando mi vida, así eres tu
agua, solo un charco de nada
luego una marejada, así eres tu

Agua, que empapa mi cuerpo
y que me arrastra a ti
me ahogan tus besos

y siento agua

Agua, una lluvia pequeña
o que rompe las peñas, así eres tu
agua, pura o envenenada
que me limpia o me mata, así eres tu

Agua, que empapa mi cuerpo
y que me arrastra a ti
me ahogan tus besos
siento...

Agua, que me alivia el deseo
o me abrasa por dentro, así eres tu

siento agua, donde apago mis penas
o tal vez solo arena, así eres tu.

Overall Meaning

The song "Agua" by Sergio Y Estibaliz is a powerful ballad that compares the many forms and moods of water to the complex and often contradictory nature of love. The singer describes water as both stagnant and powerful, calm and stormy, pure and deadly, just like the person they are addressing in the song. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with this person, but that their love is simultaneously soothing and overwhelming, uplifting and painful.

One of the key themes in the song is the idea of being swept away by water or by love. The singer describes how their body is soaked and dragged along by the force of this person's love, even as it threatens to drown them with its intensity. They use vivid imagery to convey the different forms that love can take, from a gentle rain to a crashing wave, from a healing balm to a destructive force. Ultimately, the song suggests that love is a force that is both beautiful and dangerous, and that the singer is willing to take the risk and plunge into its depths regardless.
