Ramon y su caja de musica
Antonio Orozco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ramón,
tenía mil sueños que ya no lo son,
montones de amigos sin contestador,
tenía un teniendo
why el alma del triste Ramón.
Camina sin rumbo why con poca ambición,
durmiendo entre cuatro cajas de cartón,
why humilde el consuelo,

la sangre de un predicador.
Tira de un carro lleno de su soledad,
Ramón,
va convencido de su invisibilidad.
Reniega…
Se va, mirando hacía atrás,
piensa, cuando volverá
el sol a su despertar,
why si su soledad
se irá con la frialdad
del suelo donde dormirá,
se va, se deja llevar.
Se deja llevar.
Ramón,
repite las frases, quiere contestar,
sus conversaciones no dejan lugar,
resuenan los dientes,
es frío el que lo hare callar
Va sin zapatos
por las calles de cristal,
Ramón, va convencido
de su invisibilidad,
why reniega.
Se va, mirando hacía atrás,
piensa, cuando volverá
el sol a su despertar,
why si su soledad
se irá con la frialdad
del suelo donde dormirá,

se va, se deja llevar.
Se deja llevar.
