The Sea
The Fifties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un par de meses, medio año, año y medio, ¿qué más da?
Seguramente que me van a reemplazar
Un par de amigos, un amante, un vividor o una deidad
Que sea como tenga que ser
Que sea, lo voy a comprender
Que sea como lo quieras tú
De acomodarme a lo que venga
Y conformarme con lo que obtenga por amor
¡Ay!
Es Calibre 50, chiquitita
Y Joan Sebastian, el rey del jaripeo
Seguramente que un mal día has de llorar
Cuando terminen tus febriles ansias locas de pecar
Seguramente que me vas a comparar
Y encontrarás que será tarde cuando quieras regresar
Que sea como tenga que ser
Que sea, lo voy a comprender
Que sea como lo quieras tú
Que sea, yo tengo la virtud
De acomodarme a lo que venga
Y conformarme con lo que obtenga por amor
Que sea
The Fifties's song "The Sea" is a heart-wrenching ballad about lost love and accepting the unknown future. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and resignation, as the singer anticipates being replaced by someone new and waiting for the day when their ex-lover realizes their mistake. The singer has the virtue of adapting to whatever comes their way, even the pain and heartache of a breakup.
The first stanza sets the tone for the song as the singer reflects on the inevitability of their ex-lover moving on and finding someone new. They lament the passing of time and the uncertainty of the future, wondering what will happen in the next few months or years. The second stanza is more introspective as the singer contemplates their own feelings and the possibility of reconciliation. They acknowledge that their ex-lover may come back eventually, but it will be too late by then.
Despite the melancholy tone of the lyrics, the melody is upbeat and catchy. The use of traditional Mexican music elements such as the accordion give the song a festive feel that contrasts with the sad lyrics. This juxtaposition makes "The Sea" a unique song that resonates with listeners who have experienced heartache and loss.

I visited Hi in the 60s and it truly was paradise. The fun and beauty were endless. I have real misgivings about visiting it now to see it spoiled and no longer safe for tourists to do all the normal things we used to there. Think I’ll pass and just keep my beautiful memories intact.

Wish I could experience it

It's amazing not to see any buildings on the beaches. It's old Hawaii. Aloha was still alive.

@Shawn Harris I don’t know about rich snobs from the mainland, but your comment looks pretty snobby. It is also rich haoles is the reason that an entire island of Hawaiian speaking pure native Hawaiians exist on Ni’ihau. And also there were haoles that married into the ali’i that tried to protect them from the businessmen that initiated the overthrow. There is good and bad in all races of people. Just look at Hawaiian history before the haoles arrived. The land was settled by Marquesans and then Tahitians showed up and massacred the men and made babies with the women and created a new society. And then much later, Hawaiian kings warred against other Hawaiian kings on islands and sent out armies of Hawaiians to fight and kill each other. Good and bad in all peoples.

@Evil Dax not just the haoles but also the Japanese. Lots business is Japanese owned in Hawaii too. The haoles and the Japanese had the money to build like that.

@JollySugarSocks The aloha spirt died in Hawaii when the islands became a giant shopping mall.
He's talking about the friendly people that were replaced with rich snobs from the mainland.

Aloha was still alive, as in “Gay and Friendly”.
