Ntoman
Africando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son oscuras y amargas
En esta historia que narro
La princesa se marcha
Por creerla mia hoy no es mia y quizas
Por tan creido y sentirme superman
Indestructible inmune a llorar
Mi abuelo vio el titanic que se hundio en el mar
Y su nieto no es de hierro ni un inmortal
Un soberbio rendido
Sin su amor ya yo no puedo continuar
Ahora entiendo que el amor no tiene precio
Con fama y mi dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprar
En el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresar
Me dejo una nota dentro del bolsillo
Decia estas dormido pero me despido
Tengo 10 carros de lujo
Y una alma en pena
Un palacio con todo menos la reina
Y el porton abierto por si quiere volver
Fui prepotente me sentia superman
Indestructible inmune a llorar
Mi abuelo vio el titanic que se hundio en el mar
Y Romeo no es de hierro ni un inmortal
Un soberbio rendido
Sin su amor ya yo no puedo continuar
Ahora entiendo que el amor no tiene precio
Con fama y mi dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprar
En el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresar
Me dejo una nota dentro del bolsillo
Decia estas dormido pero me despido
Llora guitarra mia... lloraaa
Tengo todo lo que el dinero pueda comprar pero no la tengo a ella
Me quiero morir
Un soberbio rendido
Sin su amor ya yo no puedo continuar
Ahora entiendo que el amor no tiene precio
Con fama y ni dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprar
En el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresar
Me dejo una nota dentro del bolsillo
Decia estas dormido pero me despido
Quedate con todo aqui me despido.
The lyrics of Africando's song Ntoman tell the story of a man who believed himself to be invincible in love, but ultimately discovers that love cannot be bought with fame or money. He describes his empty nights, dark and bitter, as he narrates the tale of a princess who he believed was his, but who has now left him. He reflects on his own arrogance and pride, feeling like a superhero who is indestructible and immune to tears, but ultimately realizing that he is not immortal like his grandfather who witnessed the sinking of the Titanic.
The singer of the song is now a defeated man, unable to continue without his love. He understands that love has no price and that no amount of fame or money can purchase it. He is left with his luxury cars, palaces, and material possessions, but without the most important thing in his life - the love of his princess. His pride and arrogance have cost him everything, and he is left with a sense of regret as he realizes that he has lost the most important thing in his life due to his own foolishness.
Overall, Ntoman is a cautionary tale about the dangers of arrogance and pride in love. It is a reminder that love cannot be bought, but must be earned through humility, kindness, and respect for others.
