II
Abuela Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

HAY SERPIENTES EN ESTA CIUDAD
HAY AUGEROS QUE DEBES TAPAR.

HE PERDIDO, HE GANADO
Y VUELTO A INTENTAR
ARTO DE QUE TODO SIGA IGUAL.

HAY DOS MUNDOS QUE PUEDES MIRAR

SEGUNDOS DE CLARIDA
HAY ORGULLOS QUE PUEDEN PISAR
AUGEROS EN LA GRAN CIUDAD

DERRUMBADOS, ATURDIDOS
CASI SIN PIEDAD
QUIEREN ALGO PARA DESPERTAR

SEGUNDOS DE CLARIDAD
SEGUNDOS DE CLARIDAD
DOS MUNDOS QUE PUEDES MIRAR
DOS MUNDOS QUE PUEDES MIRAR
AUGEROS EN LA GRAN CIUDAD

AUGEROS EN LA GRAN CIUDAD
DOS MUNDOS QUE PUEDES MIRAR

Overall Meaning

The song "Abuela's song II" speaks about the two worlds that exist in the city, and the challenges that come with living in it. The first two lines mention that there are snakes in the city, which could represent the danger that comes with living in an urban area. The line "augeros que debes tapar" can be translated to "holes you must fill," which could represent the problems that exist in the city and the effort it takes to fix them.

The second verse talks about the struggles of life, with lines that say "he perdido, he ganado y vuelto a intentar." This translates to "I have lost, I have won, and tried again." This line can relate to the idea that life is a constant battle and that we must keep pushing forward despite the setbacks we face.

The refrain "segundos de claridad" or "seconds of clarity" speaks to the idea that sometimes we have moments of clarity in our lives where everything seems clear and we can see the two worlds that exist in the city. The song ends with the repetition of "dos mundos que puedes mirar" or "two worlds that you can see," which reinforces the idea that there are different perspectives and options in the city.
