Como Un Pintor Lyrics in English Jarabe De Palo , Modà

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Como Un Pintor by Jarabe De Palo from Spanish to English.
Bye, simply bye
Hard to express with the right words
Better I try to draw them
Like a painter would
Coloring your heart with his old brushes
Watching you in silence
Blue like you are
The sea and the sky blue like you
Golden like sunlight on your skin
I'll paint in red
Everything that to taste
you give me
Bye, simply bye
I paint the grass green like hope
Like fruit still bitter
And now a bit of blue
And the universe
Sea of stars in the sky
Moonlight in black and white
The air was never colored
Blue like you are
The sea and the sky blue like you
Golden like sunlight on your skin
I'll paint in red
Everything that to taste
you give me
For the storm I have no other color
With what I have left I'll draw a flower
Now that it's hot, I'll color love
Blue like you are
The sea and the sky blue like you
Golden like sunlight on your skin
I'll paint in red
Everything that to taste
you give me
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Como un Pintor is a goodbye song that swaps spoken words for brushstrokes. Instead of explaining his feelings, the singer opens a paint box and splashes vivid colors on an imaginary canvas. Every hue becomes a shortcut to an emotion: blue mirrors the beloved’s calm nature and the endless sea–sky backdrop, gold reflects the sun that kisses their skin, red bursts with passion and taste, and green whispers hope that still lingers. By turning feelings into colors, the artist shows that a single “chao” can be as rich and expressive as a whole gallery of paintings.

Listen closely and you will hear an evolving picture: a landscape where the universe sparkles, storms threaten, and—just when the palette seems empty—a flower and the warmth of love bloom. The song reminds us that when words fall short, creativity can still paint the heart’s deepest tones, transforming a simple farewell into a radiant, unforgettable masterpiece.
