Hola
acusticamente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Before you put your arms 'round me
Swept the world beneath my feet
And I was
Just a dreamer living easy, not a penny to my name
I'd drink away the lonely days
That was 'til you came my way
And you said ""hola, hola""
And you said ""hola, hola""
But I'm sure that wasn't all
E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi
Senza dire una parola
E non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora
E tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino
E come fai a vivere se
Attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?
Facevo delle pause lunghe una volta
Ma ridere e ascoltarti per ore non mi basta
Mm, ballavi latino americano una volta
Senza tenere il tempo come quando c'è casino ad una festa
And I never was much good at watching movies with subtitles
But with you I didn't mind it
And I guess that's the cliché
'Cause now that you're gone
I can't watch films without 'em
Ain't the same on this sofa
When there's no one to hold ya
Guess I wasted my time
Trying to learn Spanish
The only thing I can say
Is hola, hola
Hola hola hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hola hola
E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi
Senza dire una parola
E non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora
E tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino
E come fai a vivere se
Attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?
Guess I wasted my time
Trying to learn Spanish
The only thing I can say
Is hola, hola
Hola, hola hey
Is hola, hola hey
Is hola, hola hey
Is hola, hola hey
Hola
The first section of the song "Hola" by acusticamente delves into the singer's past, reminiscing about a time when they were content with their own company and dancing alone. The lyrics suggest a sense of independence and self-sufficiency before someone entered their life and turned their world upside down. The imagery of having the world swept beneath their feet implies a sense of vulnerability and being swept off their feet by this new relationship.
As the song progresses, the singer recalls the moment when the other person said "hola" to them, which in Spanish means "hello." This simple greeting holds significant weight in the singer's memory, signaling a turning point in their life. The lyrics also touch on the complexities of the relationship, with references to watching movies together and struggling to understand each other at times.
The repetition of the Spanish word "hola" throughout the song serves as a poignant reminder of the connection and communication shared between the two individuals. The singer reflects on their attempts to bridge the gap between them, such as trying to learn Spanish, but ultimately feeling like their efforts were in vain after the other person's departure.
The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia for the relationship that once brought joy and companionship. The references to watching movies together, dancing, and the struggle to communicate effectively highlight the bittersweet nature of love and loss. Ultimately, the song captures the emotional complexity of relationships and the lingering impact that a significant connection can have on an individual's life.
