Quiero Tener La Sombra De Tu Cuerpo
Victor Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estrangular a golpes tu silencio
Encadenarte a gritos y susurros
Cobijar mis fracasos en tus besos.
Quiero tener tus dedos en mi frente
Y saludar la muerte cuando llegue
Abrir de golpe puertas ventanas
Por cada flor que muere cada tarde
Hay un poeta hermano que le cante
La primavera nace y cada instante
Tratamos de explicar lo inexplicable.
Quiero tener la sombra de tu cuerpo
Inventar mil abrazos y abrazarnos
Aprendernos, fundirnos, olvidarnos
Recorrer los caminos, embriagarnos.
Quiero inventar palabras y cantarte
Pero todo está escrito desde antes,
Abrazo, amor, "te quiero como a nadie"
Inventado está como explorarse.
Quiero tener la sombra de tu cuerpo
Y llevarte despierta en el recuerdo
Arañarte la piel, besar tu alma
Aguantar firmemente tu mirada.
The lyrics of Víctor Manuel's song "Quiero Tener La Sombra De Tu Cuerpo" express a burning desire for the intimacy and connection that comes from being with someone. The singer wants to have the shadow of their lover's body, which suggests a yearning for closeness and to be physically present. The language used in the song can be intense, where the singer talks about choking their lover's silence, chaining each other with screams and whispers, and surrounding their failures with kisses.
The lyrics also talk about mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The singer wants to have their lover's fingers on their forehead and welcome death when it comes, together. The use of strong imagery of opening doors and windows to let death in also portrays the idea of accepting and experiencing life wholly, which includes the end. The lines "Por cada flor que muere cada tarde/Hay un poeta hermano que le cante" (For every flower that dies every evening/There is a poet brother who sings to it) suggests that while life is temporary, there is beauty in recognizing and honoring that temporality.
The song portrays intense passion and desire for a deep, emotional, and physical connection between two people. It also touches on the inevitability of death and the importance of living and accepting every moment fully.
