Alex Campos - Cuando Una Lágrima Cae Lyrics
Lyrics
Cuando una lagrima brota en el corazón
Se opaca el sol, llora esta canción
El llanto es el quebranto que llevas por dentro
Se extiende en el tiempo
Se ahoga en silencio
Hieres en saberlo
Llorar de alegría, llorar de lamento
Llorar en secreto, llora el firmamento
Cuando una lágrima salpica en el cielo
Corazón abierto
Dolor que me envuelve
Saber que tú siente
Si llueve en mi alma, llueve en tu pecho
Llueve en verano, llueve en invierno
El llanto es poema que tú no ignora
Mi alma se aferra se expone a tu gracia
Corazón de piedra que el llanto quebranta
Lagrimas benditas que hoy tú me secas
Benditas tus manos que hoy me consuelan
Bendito desierto donde tú me encuentra
El llanto es el idioma que mueve el cielo
El sol de justicia
Se inclina y m escucha
Me tapan sus brazos
Siento tus caricias
Secando mi llanto
Encuentro sentido
Para seguir vivo
El llanto es poema que tú no ignora
Mi alma se aferra se expone a tu gracia
Corazón de piedra que el llanto quebranta
Lagrimas benditas que hoy tú me secas
Benditas tus manos que hoy me consuelan
Bendito desierto donde tú me encuentra
Bendito el momento donde esto empieza
Si lloro en secreto si lloro en silencio
Encuentro tu calma que es mi respuesta
Tu paz que me envuelva
Aunque no la entienda
Bendito el que llora porque tú consuelas
Benditas las lágrimas que hoy tú secas
Bendito el desierto al cual tú me llevas
Bendita tu risa que hoy es m i fuerza

CUANDO UNA LÁGRIMA CAE | Alex Campos | Concierto Derroche de amor (HD) 2016
Meaning & Inspiration
Alex Campos's "Cuando Una Lágrima Cae," released as part of the *Derroche de Amor* concert in 2016, is a profound exploration of human vulnerability and God's unfailing presence in times of sorrow. The song delves into the universal experience of shedding tears, not as a sign of weakness, but as a natural expression of the deep emotions that can overwhelm us. Campos masterfully captures the weight of silent suffering, the moments when words fail and only a tear can articulate the pain held within. This powerful imagery resonates with the biblical narrative of Job, who, despite his immense suffering and the well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful counsel of his friends, found solace not in explanations but in God’s very being. As Psalm 34:18 states, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit," a truth that "Cuando Una Lágrima Cae" so eloquently conveys. The song's core message is one of reassurance; it speaks directly to the soul that feels forgotten or unseen in its grief. It suggests that even in our most solitary moments of sadness, when a tear falls, God is there, not just as an observer, but as a participant in our healing. This aligns with Jesus' own sorrow in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he "was deeply distressed and troubled" (Mark 14:33), demonstrating that even the Son of God experienced profound emotional pain. Furthermore, the song’s focus on the tear itself as a conduit for divine connection echoes the sentiment found in Psalm 56:8: "You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle; are they not in Your book?" This verse paints a picture of a God who cherishes and remembers our deepest pains, validating our experiences. "Cuando Una Lágrima Cae" is an invitation to embrace our humanity, knowing that our tears do not go unnoticed by a loving Father who promises comfort and redemption, reflecting the promise in Revelation 21:4 that "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore."
