This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti daría la vida?
Si confundo tu sonrisa
Por camelo si me miras
Razón y piel
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti me perdería?
Si confundo tus caricias
Por camelo si me mimas
Pasión y ley
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
¿Qué hacer?
Tú lo sabes
Conservar
La distancia
Renunciar
A lo natural
Y dejar
Que el agua corra
¿Cómo vas a ser mi amiga
Cuando esta carta recibas
Un mensaje hay entre líneas
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga?
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
Si por ti daría la vida?
Si confundo tu sonrisa
Por camelo si me miras
Razón y piel
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti me perdería?
Si confundo tus caricias
Por camelo si me mimas
Pasión y ley
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
¿Qué hacer?
Tú lo sabes
Conservar
La distancia
Renunciar
A lo natural
Y dejar
Que el agua corra
¿Cómo vas a ser mi amiga
Cuando esta carta recibas
Un mensaje hay entre líneas
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga?
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Such a profound song.. Temptation is what is killing them.. A friendship is at play here.. Agua y sed, serio problema- Water and thirst, serious problem Pasion y ley, dificil mezcla- Passion and law, such a difficult mixture
Temptation and passion can defeat letting nature take its course..
would you please explain more?
u are right except for the last phrase, he is avoiding her, he is giving up at her, he is denying his natural instinct. "y dejar que el agua corra" - let the water flows, this mean that he is letting her go. beautiful and sad song anyway.
would you please help me understand this song?
Please help me understand this song. It was sent to me by someone I have been flirting with and I am lost. I do not understand Spanish so I found an English translation....but I am still lost. Please hurry : + )
@judithhahne sounds like this person, presumably your friend, is secretly in love with you, but feels that he must repress his feelings afraid that divulging his feelings for you may backfire, causing you to back away.
to falling in love in secret with a friend, the daily agony of having that person within arm’s length but yet unable to reach out. Powerless to do anything but bite your lips every time you see the soft curvature of her lips, or drown in the ocean of her eyes.
In this song, the main character has, arguably, divulged his love to his closest friend. "Còmo quieres ser mi amiga Si por ti darìa la vida," but sadly rejected, and received the most dreaded response: we can still be friends.
"Si confundo tu sonrisa Por camelo si me miras." Confused her good deeds and gestures… her friendship, for love.
"Razòn y piel, difìcil mezcla, Agua y sed, serio problema." the problem of knowing that you must stay away and repress your feelings, and like odysseus, tie yourself to the mast, when you hear her voice, and the irresistible urges of touching her skin. the intense thirst to drink of her nectar and the moisture of her lips.
"Què hacer, tù lo sabes, Conservar la distancia, Renunciar a lo natural, Why dejar que el agua corra." the protagonist asks himself a question, of which he already knows the answer to: he must keep his distance, and quit the intense love that he already, and naturally, feels for his friend.
this song is one of my favorite songs, with deep and profound lyrics, to which many of us out there can relate to.
@xenophon49 This is an amazing insight to this song. Thank you!
