Review

La Oreja de Van Gogh La niña que llora en tus fiestas meaning and lyrics explained

La niña que llora en tus fiestas – “The girl who cries at your parties” is a song by the Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh. The song was released in 2011 and it was a big hit in Hispanic countries like Venezuela, Paraguay, and Mexico. In Spain, the song reached the first position on iTunes for a couple of weeks.

La niña que llora en tus fiestas is a song about the decisions we made during our life, the band commented once that the meaning of the song is related to drug addiction and how people taking little decisions in their life can get out of it or get deeper into the problem, however, the lyrics of the song are quite different from that context as it is different to understand that relationship between the lyrics and drug addiction. The lyrics are poetic and meaningful and it does mention the fact that sometimes we prefer to die when troubles are too big for us, however, the lyrics also mention what can be interpreted as love or a relationship. If you don’t look too deeply into the lyrics you will just find them great and nice.

La Oreja de Van Gogh didn’t make La niña que llora en tus fiestas a difficult song, instead, the lyrics are easy to understand and there are easy verbs to practice, the only difficult thing in the song is the singing which can be a little fast and the Spanish accent from the singer can be hard to follow, being said that, the song is really good and the rhythm is like a pop-rock from the 2000s. recommended for those with mid-Spanish knowledge.
