Bacilos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin el arcoiris que pinta las flores
Sin el cielo azul y las nubes rojas
Sin el verde vida que pinta las hojas
El mundo seria aburrido y triste sin colores
Hay colores de piel, colores de ojos colores de pelo
Colores, colores
Los mismo colores en los sentimientos
El mundo seria aburrido sin nuestros colores
Tantos niños de colores tantos sueños e ilusiones
Colores colores
Tantas sonrisas brillantes
Tantos pequeños gigantes
Colores, colores
El nudo seria aburrido sin nuestros colores
Hay gente en el mundo que piensan que son superiores
Que quieren separarnos a todos por nuestros colores
Y hasta pelean guerras y son mala gente con
Todos los que tiene la piel diferente
Hay colores
The lyrics of Bacilos's song Colores Colores speak about the importance of colors in our lives. According to the lyrics, the world would be boring and sad if there were no colors. The rainbow colors the flowers, there is blue in the sky, red in the clouds, and life is painted green in the leaves. The song says that there are different colors of skin, eyes, and hair. However, the same color paint us from inside, highlighting the same colors in our feelings. The song celebrates the diversity of colors that exist in the world, and how these colors make our world an interesting and beautiful place to live in.
Furthermore, the song recognizes that the world is not always accepting of diverse colors and how it leads to people feeling inferior or even create conflicts. It points out that there are people in the world who think they are superior because of their colors or want to separate others by their color, which eventually can contribute to wars and negative attitudes towards those who are different.
