Una lágrima tuya

Homero Manzi's song "Una lágrima tuya" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the lingering memories that haunt the soul. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tear that not only moistens the soul but also evokes a cascade of emotions and memories. The imagery of the moon rolling over the mountains sets a melancholic tone, suggesting the passage of time and the inevitability of change.

The song delves into the uncertainty of whether the beloved has cried while thinking of the narrator, adding a layer of longing and unfulfilled desire. The repetition of the word "nombrándome" (naming me) underscores the deep emotional connection and the pain of separation. The voice of the beloved's song, described as sad and heartfelt, serves as a haunting reminder of a past life and a farewell that still resonates deeply within the narrator.

The guitar strings' lament and the absence of the narrator's lips singing next to the beloved's hair further emphasize the theme of loss. The song becomes a medium through which the narrator expresses undying love and the hope that the beloved understands that their tears have not been forgotten. The final lines, "no me olvidé" (I did not forget), encapsulate the enduring nature of true love and the indelible mark it leaves on the heart.
