Si Nos Dejan Lyrics in English by Natalia Jiménez
Terciopelo translates to "velvet". It's a luxurious and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday Spanish songs, making it stand out.
In "Si Nos Dejan," the lyrics paint a romantic picture of a couple building a new life together. They sing, "Haremos con las nubes terciopelo" (We will make velvet from the clouds), using this word to symbolize creating a soft, beautiful, and comfortable haven from something as ethereal as clouds. It perfectly captures the dreamy and idyllic vision of their shared future.
Natalia Jiménez, a fantastic artist from Spain, brings us "Si Nos Dejan" (If They Let Us), a song all about the dream of a love so strong it can overcome anything. It's a beautiful, hopeful tune where the singer imagines escaping with their beloved to a brand new world. They sing, "Si nos dejan Nos vamos a querer toda la vida" [If they let us We're going to love each other our whole lives], believing they can find happiness and a "nuevo amanecer De un nuevo día" [new dawn Of a new day].
This song really makes you feel the longing for a perfect, undisturbed love. The lyrics talk about finding a "rincón cerca del cielo" [corner near heaven] and making "con las nubes terciopelo" [velvet with the clouds]. It's such a romantic image, imagining a place where they can be "juntitos los dos Cerquita de Dios" [together, the two of us Close to God]. The repeated phrase "Si nos dejan" [If they let us] really emphasizes that this ideal world is just within reach, if only external forces would allow it. It's a promise of forgetting "De todo lo demás nos olvidamos" [everything else we forget] and just being together.
