La Marea
Valdo Rodriguez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A veces no puedo más y estar solo es como prefiero pasar
Pero hoy me dejaré llevar
Como una marea tu perfume me arrastrará
No me dejas de mirar
O la noche se empieza a desesperar
Tal vez solamente fue la soledad
Y ya no sé qué hacer una vez más

Se va, se va, se va
La noche hoy se va
Esta vez se va ah ah
Se va, se va, se va el instante hoy se va (uh uh no vuelve)
Se va, se va, se va no pienses que dirán
(Uh uh no vuelve)

Y no quiero pensar que pasará
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Bailando nuestros cuerpos se captan
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Y en tus ojos encuentro soledad
Y cambiarán
Porque estoy aquí

A veces no puedo más
(Solo fue solo fue tu soledad)
No me dejas de mirar
(Pero esta vez te va a gustar)

Y no quiero pensar que pasará
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Bailando nuestros cuerpos se captan
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Y en tus ojos encuentro soledad
Y cambiarán
Porque estoy aquí

Se va, se va, se va
La noche hoy se va
Esta vez se va ah ah
Se va, se va, se va el instante hoy se va (uh uh no vuelve)
Se va, se va, se va no pienses que dirán
(Uh uh no vuelve)

Y no quiero pensar que pasará
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Bailando nuestros cuerpos se captan
Te vi te vi y ya estás aquí
Y en tus ojos encuentro soledad

Y cambiarán
Porque estoy aquí

Overall Meaning

In Valdo Rodriguez's song "La Marea," the artist expresses his feelings of loneliness and his desire to be swept away by love. The first verse starts with the artist admitting that sometimes he just can't handle being by himself, but today he's going to let himself go and let love take over. He compares love to a tide, where her perfume is the force that pulls him in. She continues to gaze at him, making him feel like the night will never end, which could either be the result of his loneliness or his desire for her. He's confused and doesn't know what to do, which is highlighted in the line "Y ya no sé qué hacer una vez más" (And I don't know what to do once again).

The chorus repeats the phrase "Se va" (It goes away) several times, which can be interpreted in different ways. It could be interpreted as the night going away or as the moment going away, which means that it's fleeting and won't come back. The artist is saying that even though the moment will go away, it doesn't mean that it won't be enjoyable, which is emphasized by the phrase "Esta vez se va ah ah" (This time it goes away, ah ah).

In the second verse, the artist seems to have gotten what he wanted - the object of his desire is there with him, and they're dancing together. However, he still feels a sense of sadness and loneliness in her eyes, and he knows that it will change because he's with her. The artist ends with repeating the chorus, reiterating that the moment will be gone, but it doesn't mean that it won't be worthwhile.

Overall, "La Marea" is a song about the power of love to overcome loneliness and the fleeting nature of moments that we treasure. It's a song that can be interpreted in many different ways, and the artist leaves it up to the listener to decide what the ultimate meaning is.
