La Belleza
Ana Torroja y Miguel Bose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No propuse otra batalla que librar al corazón
De ponerse cuerpo a tierra
Bajo el peso de una historia
Que iba a alzar hasta la gloria
el poder de la razón...
why ahora que ya no hay trincheras
why el que trepe a lo mas alto
pondrá a salvo su cabeza
Aunque se hunda en el asfalto...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza.
Míralos como reptiles al acecho de la presa.
Negociando en cada mesa maquillajes de ocasión.
Siguen todos los raíles que conduzcan a la cumbre
Locos porque nos deslumbre su parásita ambición.
Antes iban de profetas
why ahora el éxito es su meta.
Mercaderes, traficantes,
más que nausea dan tristeza
No rozaron ni un instante...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza.
why me hablaron de futuros fraternales, solidarios.
Donde todo lo falsario acabaría en el pilón.
why ahora que se cae el muro
ya no somos tan iguales.
Tanto tienes, tanto vales...
¡Viva la revolución!
Reivindico el espejismo de intentar ser uno mismo
Ese viaje hacia la nada
que consiste en la certeza
de encontrar en tu mirada...
La belleza
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza...
La belleza.
The song is about the idea of beauty and how society has twisted its meaning to suit its needs. The lyrics compare the opposite sides of war and beauty, pointing out that the latter is the much-needed solution to bring change to the world. The song also talks about how today's society is obsessed with success, which comes at the cost of morals and values. The lyrics reflect on how the concept of beauty has been distorted by people, who use it as a tool to fuel their selfish ambitions, while true beauty lies in being genuine and honest.
The song starts with the lyrics "Enemy of war and its reverse side, I propose no other battle than to free the heart from throwing itself to the ground." The singer advocates for the idea that instead of putting our hearts on the line to fight wars, we should focus on bringing love and beauty into our lives. The lines "Under the weight of a story that was going to lift the power of reason up to glory" refers to the idea that history is full of wars, and it is time to change that story and start celebrating reason and beauty.
The lyrics "Negotiating with makeup on every table, following all the tracks that lead to the summit. Crazy because the parasitic ambition of a reptile traps them," reflect on society's unhealthy obsession with success and the neglect of true beauty. The song highlights how society negotiates, manipulates and even deceives others to achieve success, and how this masks the truth of the situation.
