Song Meaning
The narrator pushes back against an assumption that their lover embodies 'science,' a concept they feel has failed to understand them. This isn't a rejection of logic, but a personal grievance: if this 'science' were truly comprehensive, it would have grasped the narrator's own feelings and experiences. The repeated assertion, "No me ha comprendio a mi" (It hasn't understood me), highlights a profound sense of alienation within the relationship.
This feeling of being misunderstood is amplified by stark imagery. The sun hitting glass, which can either be harmless or shatter it, mirrors the precariousness of the narrator's emotional state. It suggests that even seemingly benign forces can lead to breakage, hinting at an underlying fragility. The contrast between the external world and internal turmoil is palpable.
The lyrics then shift to a more grounded, almost pastoral scene. Birds greet the dawn while the narrator claims to have once sung to their own feelings. However, the present tense is absent; the focus is on past joy now contrasted with present desolation. This juxtaposition underscores the depth of their current sorrow.
The final lines, "Pa que tanto llover / Mis ojitos tengo seco / De sembrar y no cojer" (Why so much rain? / My little eyes are dry / From sowing and not reaping), powerfully convey a sense of exhaustion and futility. The narrator feels drained, their efforts yielding no reward, a sentiment that resonates deeply with the earlier theme of being fundamentally misunderstood by the very 'science' they are supposed to represent.
