Por la boca vive el pez
Fito Y Fitipaldis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
todo viene de dentro
Nunca lo que me sacie,
siempre quiero, lobo hambriento.
Todo me queda grande
para no estar contigo.
Sabes, quisiera darte
siempre un poco más de lo que te pido.
Sabes que soñaré,
si no estás que me despierto contigo.
Sabes que quiero más,
no se vivir solo con 5 sentidos.
Este mar cada vez guarda mas barcos hundidos.
Tu eres aire, yo papel,
donde vayas yo me iré,
si me quedo a oscuras
luz de la locura ven y alumbrame.
Alguien dijo alguna vez
por la boca vive el pez
y yo lo estoy diciendo,
te lo estoy diciendo otra vez.
Dime porque preguntas
cuanto te he echao de menos,
si en cada canción que escribo corazón
eres tú el acento.
No quiero estrella errante,
no quiero ver la aurora
quiero mirar tus ojos del color de la cocacola
Sabes que soñaré,
si no estas que me despierto contigo.
Sabes que quiero más,
no se vivir solo con 5 sentidos.
Este mar cada vez guarda mas barcos hundidos.
No estas conmigo siempre que te canto,
yo hago canciones para estar contigo,
porque escribo igual que sangro,
porque sangro todo lo que escribo.
me he dado cuenta cada vez que canto
que si no canto no se lo que digo.
La pena está bailando con el llanto
y cuando quiera bailará conmigo.
La vida apenas solo dura un rato
y es lo que tengo para estar contigo
para decirte lo que nunca canto,
para cantarte lo que nunca digo.
The lyrics to Fito Y Fitipaldis's song Por la boca vive el pez explore the overpowering emotions that the singer experiences when they're around their loved ones. The song begins by highlighting how the singer is consumed by feelings that come from within and that they can never satiate. They are a hungry wolf, always wanting more. The lyrics suggest that everything else feels small and insignificant when compared to their love interest.
The singer admits that they dream of their loved one and want to be with them constantly. They can’t imagine living without their presence and want to experience more than just the five senses that we use to perceive the world. The lyrics also reference the idea that the ocean keeps more sunken boats with each passing day, hinting at the fact that relationships can be turbulent and emotional.
The singer then addresses their loved one, calling them air and referring to themselves as paper. They will follow their loved one wherever they go and see them as a guiding light in their life. The lyrics reference the Spanish saying "por la boca vive el pez" which means "the fish lives through the mouth." In this context, the singer is affirming that their love and expression of their feelings is what makes them truly alive.
