El sol no regresa.

Question

Hola mis amigos, Esta vez, necesito ayuda sobre una canción. "el sol no regresa". Su enlace aquí: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mSNnobHcYQ y sus letras aquí: http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=700391 La pregunta es: ¿Qué significa realmente cuando se utiliza el sol y las nubes?

Answer 1

This is one of my favorite songs by La Quinta Estación. And I agree, it is a metaphor for being sad in spite of things getting better (las nubes se van).

"being sad in spite of things getting better " I think this is the best answer. Thank gringojrt. - baonguyen5515, Oct 4, 2013

Answer 2

Hi there! That's a metaphor, an artistic use of language. Actually that sentence has the same meaning in Spanish and in English.

• Las nubes se van pero el Sol no regresa. ? The clouds go away but the sun doesn't come back.

So what do you think? Clouds are usually used to express sadness because they cover the Sun, which is normally associated to with joy, brightness, cheerfulness... I think that the meaning depends on the feeling of the listener.

[Revise my English, please]

associated 'with' joy, no capital letter on sun :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 3, 2013

I agree with you, however what I still want to know : why the sun doesn't come back? I think only the writer could answer, for his entirely sụbjective reasons. by the way, your English is very good, congratulation. - baonguyen5515, Oct 4, 2013
