De tus ojos
Vanesa Martín Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desde la misma altura de tus ojos
Voy manteniendo el alma con medida
El éxito no esta en darse de apoco
Tampoco en resolvernos la partida

En el hueco que va del hombro a tu cuello
Ya me atreví a dejarte alguna cosa
No juegues si es que no vas a quemarte

No reces si la fe ya no te importa

Puedo adentrarte de lleno en mi vida
Acariciarte y quedarme dormida
Sentirme dueña del mundo en tus brazos
Desconectar y encenderte la prisa
Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida

Una palabra me acerco a tu silla
Ya me vestí a conciencia para verte
Que no se asuste nadie si nos miran
Y ven que nos miramos diferente

Puedo adentrarte de lleno en mi vida
Acariciarte y quedarme dormida
Sentirme dueña del mundo en tus brazos
Desconectar y encenderte la prisa
Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida

Puedo adentrarte de lleno en mi vida
Acariciarte y quedarme dormida
Sentirme dueña del mundo en tus brazos
Desconectar y encenderte la prisa
Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida

Puedo adentrarte de lleno en mi vida
Acariciarte y quedarme dormida
Sentirme dueña del mundo en tus brazos
Desconectar y encenderte la prisa
Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida

Puedo adentrarte de lleno en mi vida
Acariciarte y quedarme dormida
Sentirme dueña del mundo en tus brazos
Desconectar y encenderte la prisa

Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida
Reconocer que me quedo en tus ojos perdida

Overall Meaning

In "De tus ojos," Vanesa Martín contemplates her relationship with her lover through her perspective of maintaining balance. She asserts that true success is not found in holding back or in resolving one's ending. The singer ventures as far as laying claim to the hollow between her lover's shoulder and his neck. While she is willing to embrace him fully, she also cautions against recklessness and apathy. The opening verse maintains that the singer keeps her soul in balance by meeting her lover's gaze head-on, and not by looking up nor down. This suggests a sense of equality and mutuality within the relationship.

The third and fourth verses describe a brief encounter with her lover in public. She arrives dressed to impress and shares a meaningful exchange with him, such that those around them could not understand. Once again, the singer emphasizes the intimate bond shared by the two, above any external factors that may try to influence or obstruct their connection. The chorus continually emphasizes the singer's desire to immerse herself completely in her love's life, to fall asleep in his arms and feel like the owner of the world, to disconnect from everything else and ignite her passion. Finally, she recognizes that she is lost in his gaze, offering a sense of vulnerability in her admission.
