Retorno
Mamá Vudú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deslize, hoy mi luz en la tiniebla hasta aquí
Y pude ver, las cenizas de mi cuerpo
Flotando en el mar
¿Cuánto falta por seguir?
¿Cuántos laberintos más, debo atravezar?
Quisiera saber de tí,
Miles de acertijos aún debo descifrar

Desde aquí, veo la tormenta y pude saber
Todo lo que dí,
Todos los escombros que aun debo recoger
Y empiezo a entender el fin
Las secuencias de una vida que pude evitar

Quisiera saber de tí,
Hay recuerdos que aún debo arrastrar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Retorno" by Mamá Vudú depict a sense of introspection and self-reflection. The opening lines, "Deslize, hoy mi luz en la tiniebla hasta aquí / Y pude ver, las cenizas de mi cuerpo / Flotando en el mar" (Slide, today my light in the darkness until here / And I could see, the ashes of my body / Floating in the sea), signify a moment of realization and seeing the remnants of one's own self. It suggests a journey of self-discovery and confronting the aftermath of past mistakes or experiences.


The lyrics further express a longing for understanding and closure, as the lines "¿Cuánto falta por seguir? / ¿Cuántos laberintos más, debo atravezar?" (How much more is there to follow? / How many more mazes must I cross?) convey the desire to unravel the mysteries and challenges that lie ahead. The singer seeks answers and knowledge, expressed through the lines "Quisiera saber de ti, / Miles de acertijos aún debo descifrar" (I would like to know about you / Thousands of riddles I still have to decipher).


The chorus signifies a realization of the consequences and lessons learned, as the lyrics state, "Desde aquí, veo la tormenta y pude saber / Todo lo que di, / Todos los escombros que aún debo recoger" (From here, I see the storm and could know / Everything that I gave / All the debris I still have to collect). It reflects the understanding of one's own actions and the aftermath that must be faced.
