Sintiendo Rara
Ximena Sariñana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Llegas tarde a una fiesta
Te mira desde el muro
Su retrato que cuelga
No tienes nada claro
El ruido te entreverá
No prendes un cigarro
Te estás sintiendo rara
Te estás sintiendo
No recuerdas el nombre
De aquel hotel del centro
No entiendes el desorden
No entiendes mi lamento
Si cierro la cortina
Si tratas de encerrarme
Si juegas de moderno
Si intento sobornarte
Te estás sintiendo rara
Te estás sintiendo
No tienes nada en contra
De verme enamorada
No tienes nada en contra
De verme enamorada
De verme enamorada
De verte enamorada
Te estás sintiendo rara
De verte enamorada
Te estás sintiendo rara
In Ximena Sariñana's song "Sintiendo Rara," the lyrics speak of feeling out of place and disconnected from one's surroundings. The singer describes someone who is rushing to a party, but is unprepared and uncomfortable. They don't know what to do with themselves, and their discomfort is heightened by a portrait on the wall that seems to be watching them. The lyrics suggest that the individual is struggling with a sense of identity and is searching for something that they cannot quite grasp.
As the song progresses, the singer describes situations where the individual is unable to connect with their surroundings, and they seem to be questioning everything around them. They cannot remember the name of a hotel, cannot understand a mess, and cannot comprehend the singer's laments. However, the lyricist also includes some contradictory information. The individual has no problem seeing the singer in love and is unaffected by it. The lyrics close with the statement that the individual is feeling strange.
Overall, the song is an exploration of identity, belonging, and disconnection. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is trying to find themselves but is struggling to do so. The contradictory nature of the lyrics adds to the sense of confusion and chaos.

Aguante Ximena Sariñana que bonita intrepretacion y que hermosa voz
Qarenn Martinez
Hoy me acordé de esta canción que acompañaba parte de mi 2010 y mi 2011. Tan bonita. Me hizo recordar que me gusta mucho. La había olvidado. Ni siquiera la escuchaba cuando estaba "enamorada". Espero enamorarme pronto para que sea parte del soundtrack. 😄
