Lyrics: "Saps" (You Know) The geranium has bloomed At my home You know You know that every morning Love awakens You know Tears, time Drag them away You know After winter Spring is born You know I've lost your scent And I don't even remember the color Of those eyes That looked at me so much When you tied my body with your hands And I was a child When feeling you close, as the night approached I felt small You know I'm laughing again At anything You know Today, your memories Don't bother me Joan Manuel Serrat's song "Saps" speaks about the passage of time, lost love, and moving forward in life. The lyrics indicate that the speaker is reminiscing about a past love. The geranium blooming at their home symbolizes new life and the potential for renewal. Each morning, the speaker realizes that love awakens within them, even after experiencing heartbreak. The mention of tears being dragged away by time suggests that as time goes by, the pain caused by the lost love also diminishes. The arrival of spring after the winter represents a metaphorical rebirth of emotions and the possibility of finding new love and happiness. However, the speaker also expresses the loss they feel. They have forgotten the scent and color of their former lover's eyes, indicating that memories are fading. This loss is significant as they recall moments of intimacy and feeling small when being close to their loved one. Despite the nostalgia and longing, the speaker hints at finding happiness again. They mention returning to laughter and how the memories of their past love no longer bother them. Overall, "Saps" tells a story of acceptance, healing, and finding joy in life again after experiencing loss and heartbreak.
