Água
Atajo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

agua de la lluvia que moja la tierra
agua de montaña que llega tan fresca
agua en baldesito y de boca a pileta
agua que calor hechen a mi cabeza, agua

agua que ahora es chicha servida en tutumas
agua de botella a precio de leche
agua de sisternas que van a tu puerta
agua de unos ojos que lloran por verla, agua

agua es un derecho como un rayo de sol
como la selva intensa, como mirarte a vos
agua es un derecho como un poco de viento
como el arcoiris cuando riegas tus plantas, agua

agua de un perro que sacude sus pelos
agua del rocio que cae y en tu espalda
agua de dos bocas que no se desprenden
agua del amor y de pechos sudados, agua

el agua es vida no te la robaras
guerra por el agua no es un carnaval




el agua es la sangre de la pachamama
ay mamita linda no te secaras

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atajo's song Agua speak of water in its many forms and importance, depicting it as a fundamental element of life. The opening verse starts with rainwater that falls on earth and enlightens it with the freshness of the mountains. The song then talks about water in various ways, including being poured from a bucket, flowing into a pool, and being poured over one’s head to beat the heat. Agua also refers to situations where water is sold at high prices, such as bottled water or when water is stored in tanks and delivered to households. The inclusion of tears, sweat, and dog's fur that shake with the water, shows how integral water is to every aspect of our lives.


The chorus of Agua draws attention to the significance of water, describing it as a right, like a ray of light, the intense jungle, or looking into another's eyes. Water is a right that everyone deserves, like the breeze or the rainbow that brings color to nature. The last verse of the song speaks about water in a very personal way, highlighting how it is essential for love and intimate moments. The song ends by acknowledging the importance of water to the earth, describing it as the blood of the Pachamama, the mother earth, and urging the listener to preserve this essential element of nature.
