That Aitana and Manuel Carrasco They were the great musical references of the sadly disappeared Elena Huelva It's not something unknown to the general public. The young woman shared on social media her various encounters, which filled her with life, especially that video in which the Sevillian danced on the shoulders of her sister Emi, the song 'Woman of a Thousand Battles' after receiving the Words of encouragement from the Huelva singer-songwriter at the packed concert which he offered in Seville last June.
Both singers expressed their sorrow on the day Elena passed away, however Manuel Carrasco has gone a step further in his particular tribute to the beloved influencer dedicating a song in his memory.
The theme is not new, but it is the song 'If you only knew', collected on the disc 'Speaks' published in 2012.
In the most poetic way possible, the lyrics fit perfectly with the ending of the sevillana, so Carrasco has re-uploaded it, in a guitar and vocal version, to his YouTube channel and various social media profiles. In fact, his Instagram reels alone have racked up nearly four million views.
A post shared by Manuel Carrasco (@manuelcarrasco_)
The verses, which speak of the life lesson what it meant for him to meet her, are interpreted with intensity with the singer's characteristic raspy voice, in a piece in the style of Manuel Carrasco.
Artists such as India Martínez, Beatriz Luengo, Lorena Gomez either Lamari (of the group Chambao) have praised the sensitivity and timeliness of the composition, which has received all possible praise from Elena's closest relatives.
To top off the symbolism, the image that illustrates the music track is a calm firmament, which is in keeping with the style of this stage. 'Heart and Arrow' but also with the idea of the star that, as a gift from her parents before they died, bears Elena's name.
The lyrics of this song – dedication are as follows:
"I didn't do it for myself, and in your pain came my rescue. Life showed two faces in its shop window. You showed me your soul, my eyes were opened, I learned from your emotions.
I didn't do it for myself, but it was you who made me understand when your life was slipping away. A lesson from an angel who has earned heaven can come true.
If you knew, without knowing it, you were the sail of my sailboat, that the wind would blow and reach the sky. I thank you with the sound of this song.
If you knew, knew, knew… Without you knowing, knowing, knowing.
I, who am sometimes so reckless, am ashamed of the time I waste in apathy and regret. On your bitter street, my first steps, I was able to walk hand in hand with you.
I didn't do it for myself, but it was you who made me understand when your life was slipping away. A lesson can come from an angel who has earned heaven.
If you knew, without you knowing it, you were the candle.
