Guardabarranco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creció una flor que un colibrí sintió
Voló sobre la tierra
Campos de paz y guerra
Pero no encontró su flor
Pero no encontró su flor
El colibrí voló
Sin ver atrás hacia el jardín de Dios
La flor del arco iris
No era la que buscaba
Ni la de mas noble olor
Ni la de increíble olor
El colibrí lloró
Detrás del sol por su adorada flor
Pero habitaba dentro de su corazoncito
Y no la podía ver no
Y no la podía ver no no no, no no no
La del néctar del Amor
The lyrics to Guardabarranco's song Colibri tell the story of a hummingbird on a quest to find a particular flower that it feels a deep connection to. The hummingbird flies over fields of peace and war, searching for its beloved flower but unable to find it. Eventually, the hummingbird realizes that the flower it was searching for was not a physical one, but rather one that existed within its own heart - the flower of love.
The imagery of the hummingbird searching for a flower amidst fields of peace and war suggests a deeper meaning behind the lyrics. It speaks to the human experience of searching for meaning and connection in a world that is often filled with conflict and chaos. The hummingbird's realization that the flower it was searching for was within itself suggests that true fulfillment and happiness can only be found from within, rather than through external factors.
Overall, Guardabarranco's Colibri is a beautiful and poetic song that encourages listeners to look within themselves for the love and connection they seek. It is a reminder that even in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty, we can find happiness and fulfillment by tapping into the love that exists within our own hearts.
