El vals

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lanza llamas por su boca
y le pregunté al espejo dice que sí
que tú me darás un beso
Si me llevas por las nubes baja ya
que la noche nos absorbe
y si estrellamos con la luna nunca más
Si me llevas hasta el faro que da al mar
para ver Alfa-Centaruro
nos sostiene una palmera en el vagón
que nos lleva al infinito
Si me llevas por las nubes baja ya
que la noche nos absorbe
y si estrellamos con la luna nunca más
volveremos a esta tierra
The song "El vals" by Caroline Cruz touches upon the essence of love and its ability to transport us into a different world, away from our mundane existence on Earth. The song begins with the description of a trumpet blowing into the sea, creating a fiery spectacle. The singer then asks the mirror whether their lover will give them a kiss, indicating their anticipation and excitement towards the moment.
The lyrics then proceed to talk about being taken into the skies, away from the clutches of Earth, and being lost in the magic of the night. The singer yearns to be taken to the farthest corners of the universe, to see the beauty of the stars, and hopes to be carried there by their lover. The mention of a palm tree holding them up in space is symbolic of the strength of their love, which acts as a guiding light even in the midst of chaos.
Overall, "El vals" is a beautiful depiction of the power of love to take us to new heights and the willingness of people to risk it all for the ones they love.
