Presentimiento
Trio Los Caminantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Llegaste en el momento, en que te esperaba,
No hubo sorpresa alguna, cuando te halle
El día en que cruzaste, por mi camino,
tuve el presentimiento, de algo fatal
Esos ojos me dije, son mi destino,
y esos brazos morenos, son mi dogal
tuve el presentimiento, de algo fatal
Esos ojos me dije, son mi destino,
y esos brazos morenos, son mi dogal
The song "Presentimiento" by Trio Los Caminantes talks about a feeling of premonition, where the singer expresses that even before he met the love of his life, he already desired and anticipated her arrival. When she finally appears in his life, he feels that she was meant to be there and that it was a natural event. However, he also feels a sense of foreboding, as if their union may also bring about some kind of tragedy, which he can already sense. He describes her eyes as his destiny and her arms as his noose, suggesting that his love and desire for her has a bittersweet quality to it.
The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is deeply in love but is also grappling with a sense of apprehension about the future. The words are simple, but the melody and the way the lyrics are conveyed through the voices of the trio evoke strong emotions of longing and yearning. The use of metaphors such as "dogal" conveys a sense of inevitability and fate, suggesting that the singer feels powerless in the face of his emotions.
