Nómbrala
Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lejos del amanecer vi tu rostro
Luna en mi cristal y toda mi vida apareció
En su lugar es tarde y llueve aquí
Me digo: Nómbrala
Nómbrala y tal vez aparecerá
Miro a mi alrededor
Y no paro nunca de contar todas esas cosas
Donde siempre estás es tarde y llueve aquí
Solo nómbrala, nómbrala
Esta vez busca sus así en la oscuridad
Esta vez busca sus así
En la inmensidad ordinaria

De nuevo en la cerrazón
Mis pupilas vagan sin cesar
Es hora de dormir me digo olvídala, olvídala
Esta vez busca sus ojos así en la inmensidad
En la realidad esta vez busca sus ojos así
En la inmensidad esta vez busca sus ojos así
Busca sus ojos así bajo el mar
Miro a mi alrededor
Y no paro nunca de contar todas esas cosas
En donde siempre estás es tarde y llueve
Aquí me digo: Olvídala olvídala nómbrala
Nómbrala tal vez vendrá a ti

Esta vez busca sus ojos así en la inmensidad
En la oscuridad esta vez busca sus ojos así
En la eternidad esta vez busca sus ojos
Así en la oscuridad esta vez busca sus ojos




Así busca sus ojos busca sus ojos así
Bajo el mar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nómbrala" by Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for someone who is no longer present. The singer describes seeing the face of this person in the early hours of the morning, symbolized by the moon reflected in their window. This experience brings their entire life into focus, as if this person's presence encompasses every aspect of their existence. However, the reality is that it is late and raining, emphasizing the absence of this person in the present moment.


Despite this absence, the singer urges themselves to name this person, as if summoning their presence through the power of words. They are desperate for their return, hoping that by simply speaking their name, they might reappear. The singer constantly looks around, counting everything as they search for traces of this person in their surroundings. Yet, in the late and rainy atmosphere where they used to be, they find nothing but emptiness.


In the midst of this darkness and confusion, the singer finds themselves lost and unable to focus. They realize it is time to sleep and try to forget about this person, urging themselves to let go. However, they still long for the person's eyes, which they describe as their essence or true self. They believe that by seeking these eyes in the vastness of reality and even beneath the sea, they may find a connection or resolution to their longing.


The song ends with the singer still searching and counting things around them, as if trying to find any remnants of the person they yearn for. Despite instructing themselves to forget and let go, they continue to call out the person's name, hoping that perhaps if they name them enough times, they might appear. The lyrics evoke a palpable sense of yearning and the relentless pursuit of reconnection with a lost love.
