Tiempo
Benny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya llego el tiempo
Para sacrificar
Es el tiempo para dar
Ya llego el tiempo para regenerar
Ya llego el momento para recapacitar
El momento para actuar
El momento para amar
No pierdas, no pierdas mas el tiempo de despertar
Tiempo! tiempo!
Este es el momento de una transicion
Este es el segundo de una revolucion
Del infierno a la paz y de menos hacia mas
El tiempo libranos del tiempo
Vivamos el momento, solo este momento
El unico momento
El tiempo no existe
El tiempo
Solo existo yo
The opening line of Benny's song "Tiempo" sets the tone for the message he is trying to convey - that it is time to speak the truth, time to sacrifice, time to give, time to regenerate, time to reconsider and time to act. The chorus emphasizes the importance of time and how it should not be wasted. The lyrics serve as a call to action for listeners to embrace change, to transition from a place of negativity to positivity and to be present in the moment.
Benny's message is clear - the present moment is what matters ("Vivamos el momento, solo este momento, el unico momento") and time is a construct that should not limit the ability to create change. He encourages listeners not to waste any more time ("No pierdas, no pierdas mas el tiempo de despertar").
The song's lyrics can also be interpreted as an appeal to society to change their ways, to abandon old habits and beliefs and to embrace a new mindset. Benny is urging his listeners to take responsibility for their actions, to be active participants in bringing about positive change and to love one another.
Overall, "Tiempo" is an uplifting and powerful song that encourages listeners to step up and take action towards personal and societal growth.
