callejero
Ataque 77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Su filosofía de la libertad
Fue ganar la suya sin atar a otros
y sobre los otros no pasar jamas
Aunque fue de todos nunca tuvo un dueño
Que condicionara su razón de ser
Libre como el viento era nuestro perro
Nuestro y de la calle que lo vio nacer.
Fiel a su destino y a su parecer
Sin tener horario para hacer la siesta
Y rendirle cuantas al amanecer
Era nuestro perro y era la ternura
Que nos hace falta cada día mas
Era una metáfora de la aventura
Que en el diccionario no se puede hallar.
Era nuestro perro por que lo que amamos
Lo consideramos nuestra propiedad
Y era de los niños y del viejo Pablo
A quien rescataba de su soledad.
Era un callejero y era el personaje,
de la puerta abierta en cualquier hogar
Era en nuestro barrio como del paisaje
El sereno, el cura y todos los demás
Era el callejero de las cosas bellas
Y se fue con ellas cuando se marcho
Se bebió de golpe todas las estrellas
Se quedo dormido y ya no despertó.
Nos dejo el espacio como testamento
Lleno de nostalgia, lleno de emoción
Vaga su recuerdo por mis sentimientos
Para derramarlos en esta canción.
The lyrics of Ataque 77's song Callejero speak about a street dog that was a free spirit representing the qualities of the community. The lyrics show that the dog was a symbol of freedom, loyalty and a sense of belonging. The dog was owned by no one but was loved by all who knew him. He was a true street dog who roamed the area without any rules or boundaries, living life to the fullest. He was always there when anyone needed him, whether it was the kids playing on the street or the old man who lived alone. He brought people together and was a symbol of what it meant to be a part of the community.
The song reveals that the dog was more than just an animal, he was a metaphor for life and the adventures that can be found in every moment. The lyrics suggest that the dog's journey was one that was full of love, fun, and freedom, but eventually it came to an end. The memories of the dog and the lessons he taught lived on and inspired the community to continue to live life with the same sense of freedom and love that he represented.
