Pétalos Azules
Vanessa Colaiutta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando el amor se ha servido
En tazas de papel
Y el corazón no ha podido
Llegar a saber
Que en el medio del río... te busqué
Y que duelen los oidos por el frío
Pero pude ver
Pétalos azules dejé
Cayendo sobre la pared
Querrás saber que voy a hacer
Cuando pronto amanezca

Cuando un millón de miradas
Caigan sobre mi
Pudiendo ver que no hay nada
Mas allá de ti
En medio del abismo... naufragué
Y fue bueno estar perdido en el río
Donde pude ver

Cuando el dolor y el ocaso
Ya no tienen nada que hacer
Yo quiero ver, sólo ver
Sólo quiero ver

Cuando el dolor y el ocaso
Ya no tienen nada que hacer
Yo quiero ver, sólo ver
Sólo quiero ver

Cuando el dolor y el ocaso
Ya no tienen nada que hacer




Yo quiero ver, sólo ver
Sólo quiero ver

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vanessa Colaiutta's "Pétalos Azules" describe the pain and confusion that comes with failed love. The singer compares their love to a disposable cup, something that is easily discarded or forgotten. They lament that despite their efforts, their heart was unable to fully understand or connect with the other person. The line "en el medio del río... te busqué" suggests a desperate and fruitless search for the other person in the midst of the chaos and confusion of the relationship. The pain of the breakup is palpable, with the singer describing "dolores de oidos" (earaches) caused by the coldness of the other person's actions. However, amidst the pain and the heartache, the singer finds solace in the image of blue petals falling on a wall - a symbol of beauty and hope amidst the darkness.


The second verse of the song finds the singer reflecting on the aftermath of the breakup. They describe feeling lost and alone, as if they are falling into an abyss. Despite this, they reference the river again - this time finding comfort in the idea of being lost in its depths. The final lines of the song find the singer resolving to move forward, to look forward to a time when the pain and the darkness have faded away. They repeat the phrase "yo quiero ver, sólo ver" - "I want to see, just see" - as if to suggest that they are looking for something that transcends the pain of the present moment.


Overall, "Pétalos Azules" is a poignant meditation on the pain and confusion of failed love. The imagery of the disposable cup and the river add depth and texture to the lyrics, while the repeated refrain of "yo quiero ver" expresses the singer's longing for something more.
