Ana Tijoux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naci un dia de junio del año 77
Planeta mercurio y el año de la serpiente
Sin o patente tatuado y en mi frente
Que en el vientre de mi madre marcaba el paso siguiente
Me hace llorar sin anestesia en la camilla
Mi padre solo dijo es ana maria
Si seria el primer llanto que me probaria
Quemando las heridas y dandome la bateria
Solia ser entonces como un libro abierto
Pero lei la letra pequeña del texto
Como un arquitecto construyendo cada efecto
Correcto, incorrecto, sé aprender todo al respecto
Saber que algunas personas queran el daño
Subir peldaño toma tiempo toma año
Con mi peluche mirando lo cotidiano
Dibujos transformaban y el invierno en gran verano
Papa me regalo bajo mi insistenso
Juego, trataba de culparte y recibencia
Pero en el cartu hicieron la competencia
Y fue cuando senti mi primera impotencia
1970 shh
1977 no me digan no
Que uno lo preciente
Todo lo que cambia lo hara diferente
En el año que nacio la serpien shh
1977 no me digan no
Que uno lo preciente
Todo lo que cambia lo hara diferente
En el año que nacio la serpien shh
Mi adolescencia fue una etapa bizarra
El cuerpo es bateria y la cabeza guitarra
La orquesta narronato nada quebrada para la mirada
De una niña que solo talla espadas
Hormona disparada sobre poblada sin formas
En que cambian temporadas caminas en crucijadas
Cada cual es su morada preparaba la carnada
La sagrada diablada de mirada encabronada
Mi fila la verdad nunca busco su silla
Mi busqueda fue mero proceso de pura pila
Pupila de poeta que marco nuestra saliba
En la cordillera que miraba la salida
La parada militar de paso monotono
Colores policromolos
Uniformes de poco tono
Detono mi cuestionamento la voz si sono no
Mi primera rima que sono y me enrrolo
Mi busqueda no fue para mi cosa de escenario
Fue algo necesario que marcaba ya mi fallo
Asi que todas mas de lo necesario
Fue cuando entendi que todos quieren ser corsario

The song "1977" by Ana Tijoux reflects on her experiences of growing up in Chile during the 1970s. The lyrics start with her birth on a day in June of 1977, and the astrological signs associated with that time. She describes being born without any patent or mark on her forehead, other than the invisible mark of her destiny. She recalls the pain of her birth and the only words her father said to her, "es Ana Maria," which became her name. Tijoux reflects on her childhood as an open book, but as she grows up, she realized that life has fine print and she needed to become an architect of her own life and learn to handle both the correct and incorrect aspects of life.
As Tijoux moves into her adolescence, she describes herself as a bizarre phase of her life. Her teenage years were characterized by hormonal imbalances and changes, which affected the way she viewed the world. She saw things in different shades of color and developed a deeper appreciation of music. As she watched the military parade and listened to their monotone beat, she realized that the world was a complex place and that she needed to find her own voice.
Tijoux reflects on the year of her birth, 1977, as a time of change and transformation, where everything would be different. She believes that the year she was born is significant and that it marked the beginning of her journey. With these lyrics, she emphasizes the importance of history and how past experiences inform who we are today.

I was born on June 1
The year 77
Planet Mercury
And the year of the snake
without or patent
Tattooed on my forehead
In the womb of my mother
marked the next step
It makes me cry
without anesthesia on the stretcher
My father just said is Ana Maria
If you would be the first cry
I would prove
Burn wounds
And dandome battery
It used to be then like an open book
But I read the fine print of the text
As an architect
Building each effect
Right, wrong, I learn all about it
Knowing that some people
They wanted the damage
step up
It takes time takes year
With my teddy looking at the everyday
drawings transformed
and winter in great summer
Pope gift me under my insistenso
Game, tried to blame and recibencia
But the competition did Cartu
And it was when I felt my first impotence
1970 shhh
1970 shhh
1970 shhh
1977 not tell me no
That one I preciente
All that changes will do it differently
In the year the Snake born shhh (bis)
My adolescence
It was a bizarre stage
The body is battery
and head guitar
The orchestra narronato
nothing broken for the look
A girl who just likes swords
hormone triggered
Overpopulated shapeless
in changing seasons
Walk in crucijadas
Everyone is his dwelling
He is preparing the bait
The sacred diablada
From pissed off look
My truth row
I never seek your chair
My search was mere
Process stack pure
Poet pupil
That frame our saliba
In the mountains looking output
The military parade of monotone step
policromolos colors
Uniform little tone
Detonated my cuestionamento
The voice if no sono
My first rhyme I sono
and I enrrolo me
My search was not for my thing stage
Was something necessary
Marking and my fault
So all
more than necessary
It was when I understood
Everyone wants to be corsair.

Nineteen seventy-... (x4)
I was born on a day in June
Of the year seventy-seven (‘77),
Under the planet Mercury
And in the year of the snake.
Patent sign
Already tattooed on my forehead,
Which in my mother’s womb
Marked the next step.
Being born, crying, without anesthesia on the cot,
My father just said, this is Ana Maria.
That is how the first cry
I tasted came to be,
Cauterizing my wounds
And giving me drums. [*alt. And giving me (fresh) batteries.]
I used to be like an open book then,
But I read the fine print (in the text).
Like an architect,
Constructing each effect.
Correct, incorrect,
One learns everything about it.
To know that some people
Want to do harm,
To climb a rung on the ladder,
Takes time, takes years. [*Ana Tijoux released her first album with Makiza in 1997.]
With my teddy bear, seeing everyday things,
Drawings transformed
The winter into a grand summer.
Father gave me after my insistence:
A game about sharing what one has,
But in the courtyard they wanted competition,
And that was when I felt my first helplessness moment.
Nineteen seventy-... shhh (x4)
1977, don’t say it isn’t so
Because one has a feeling about these things.
Everything that changes will do it differently
On the year that the snake was born... shhh.
(x2)
My adolescence
Was a bizarre era;
The body is a drum kit
And the head a guitar.
The orchestra narrates a broken melody
For the gaze of a girl who only deals spades.
Hormones through the roof, overcrowded,
And training that changes seasonally.
You walk in crossroads.
Each one at their home
Was preparing the bait,
The sacred devilishness of a sullen look.
My animosity honestly
Never sought to quiet down. [*lit. Never looked for its chair (to sit down).]
My search was truly a process
Of pure energy. [*lit. Of pure battery.]
Pupil of a poet
Who marked our saliva. [*i.e. who influenced our music]
On the mountain range that faced the exit,
The military parade with uniform step, [*lit. The military parade with monotone pace]
Polychrome colors, [*also a pun: "police-chrome" colors]
Uniforms of little hue
It sparked my questioning,
My voice did sound out, did it not?
My first rhyme to call out [*alt. My first rhyme to sound out, to be heard]
And recruit me.
My search was not about a stage for me,
It was something necessary
That already marked my practice.
So you talk
More than is necessary,
That was when I understood
That everyone wants to be a pirate. [*i.e. everyone wants to take]
