“Laura No Está” translates to “Laura is not here” in English, and as the title suggests, the song delves into the theme of lost love and longing for someone who is no longer present in our lives. It speaks to the pain and emptiness that comes with the absence of a loved one.
Verse 1: A Sense of Loss
The song begins by acknowledging that Laura is no longer there, she has left and escaped from the speaker’s life. Despite her absence, the speaker still loves her despite the wounds she has caused. The memories of Laura occupy their thoughts, and they struggle to forget the taste of her kiss. It is a bittersweet realization that they will not find Laura in someone else’s embrace.
Chorus: Finding Solace in Another
The chorus takes a different tone, suggesting that the speaker finds solace in the presence of someone new. By filling the void left by Laura, this new love interest brings temporary relief. The speaker acknowledges that they cannot rely on themselves alone and asks this new person to stay and take up the space left by Laura.
Verse 2: Lingering Memories
In the second verse, the speaker reflects on the fact that Laura may have forgotten about them and found love with someone else. Their love is reduced to saying her name, and the speaker questions who will comfort them in this cold world.
Puente: Inescapable Love
The bridge highlights the struggle of the speaker to forget Laura. It may be difficult for the new love interest, but the speaker cannot let go. They play at loving this person for a few hours but know they will lose themselves forever when the sun rises again.
Verse 3: Painful Reminders
In the final verse, the speaker reveals the depth of their pain. They describe how the new love interest, even if they explore their body, will never taste like Laura. In their heart, only Laura holds the key to their love. The speaker admits that the new embrace will never compare to the stolen kisses Laura took from them.
“Laura No Está” is a powerful song that resonates with those who have experienced the pain of lost love. Nek’s heartfelt delivery and emotional lyrics make it a timeless ballad that continues to touch the hearts of listeners worldwide.
