Buenos Aires
Baltasar Comotto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esa forma de sentir
en la sangre veo reír
superando las barreras con velocidad
una ola va a llegar

Buenos Aires escapé
sin la llave regresé
Una vida, muchos sueños
la mayoría no se cumplirán
es la imagen que nos distorsiona
simulando estar aquí

Buenos Aires desperté
sin tu cara me inmolé

Sabes que eso no es verdad
somos criminales en la niebla
de cualquier forma te quiero ver
en la espera nocturna





Buenos Aires desperté
sin tu cara me inmolé

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Buenos Aires' by Baltasar Comotto are reflective and introspective. The first verse starts with "Esa forma de sentir" which translates to "That way of feeling". The artist, from the way he feels, sees laughter in his blood, which helps him to break down barriers at a great pace, and 'Una ola va a llegar,' which means "A wave is going to arrive." The following verse, "Buenos Aires escapé, sin la llave regresé" can be translated to "I escaped Buenos Aires, but returned without the key." This line could indicate the artist is trying to get away from the city, but can't seem to escape it fully.


The second verse is equally thought-provoking, and melancholic. The artist reflects on how a majority of one's dreams don't come true, and these unfulfilled wishes create a distorted image of how life is supposed to be, even when one is physically present in a place. The chorus, "Buenos Aires desperté, sin tu cara me inmolé," means "I woke up in Buenos Aires, and immolated myself without your face." It seems that the absence of a specific person is causing the artist great emotional pain.


The final verse of the song indicates that the artist is aware that some things are not true, and that people tend to be lost in the fog of their own making. However, they still want to see the person who is absent, even in the darkest moments of the night when they are waiting. The song is full of powerful emotions, and the lyrics are thought-provoking, making it a poignant piece.
