Purple Yellow Red and Blue
The Chamanas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Solamente quiero
Vivir en éxtasis, si es bueno para mí
Pero ya no lo puedo evitar
Deseo sentir
Purple, Yellow, Red and Blue
De grande yo quisiera ser
Famosa en la televisión
El trabajo ya no es para mí
Desesperarme es inútil
Sólo el tiempo me puede aliviar



Solamente quiero
Vivir en éxtasis, si es bueno para mí
Pero ya no lo puedo evitar
Deseo sentir
Purple, Yellow, Red and Blue
De grande yo quisiera ser
Heredera de mucho poder
Esto es sólo mi necesidad
Desesperarme es inútil, sólamente cuido de mí
Solamente quiero
Vivir en éxtasis, si es bueno para mí
Pero ya no lo puedo evitar
Deseo sentir

Purple, Yellow, Red and Blue

I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
I just wanna be

Sólo me faltó algo en qué creer

Todo siempre cae en su lugar
Sólo me faltó algo en qué creer
Todo siempre cae en su lugar

Overall Meaning

The Chamanas's song "Purple Yellow Red and Blue" is an upbeat and catchy tune with introspective lyrics about desires and dreams. The lyrics express the singer's longing for a life of ecstasy and sensations, represented by the psychedelic colors purple, yellow, red, and blue. The desire to escape the mundane and boring routine of everyday life is a recurring theme, represented by the line "El trabajo ya no es para mí" (Work is no longer for me) and "Desesperarme es inútil" (Despairing is useless). Instead, the singer longs for fame and power, represented by the lines "De grande yo quisiera ser famosa en la televisión" (As an adult, I want to be famous on television) and "De grande yo quisiera ser heredera de mucho poder" (As an adult, I want to be an inheritor of much power). Despite these ambitious desires, the singer maintains a sense of self-care and acknowledges that only time can heal their disappointments and struggles.


The repetition of the phrase "I just wanna be" emphasizes the singer's desire for something more, a sense of fulfillment and purpose that they have yet to find. The chorus's incorporation of the colors purple, yellow, red, and blue is a reference to the song's title and highlights the song's psychedelic and dreamy vibe. The line "Sólo me faltó algo en qué creer" (I just lacked something to believe in) expresses the singer's hope that everything will fall into place, a sense of faith that they will find meaning and purpose in life.
