Su Lugar
Bituin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y se acomoda donde haga sombra
No diga nada aunque sea la hora
Se hace esperar y cuando esté sola
Hágale ojitos a la señora
Ya está anocheciendo
Cada cosa a su lugar
Soplando está el viento
Cada cosa a su lugar
Anochece y no veo más
Sin preguntar el sol ya se asoma
Y me acomodo donde hace sombra
No digo nada y pasan las horas
He de esperar pero sigo sola
Sola y rezándole a mi señora
Ya está amaneciendo
Corro sin pensar
Sin mirar atrás
Veo mi ciudad
Caigo y vuelvo a levantar
Sigo andando sin parar
Sopla al viento una vez más
Vuelvo a mi lugar
Le pido ayuda pecaminosa
Y me preocupo por la demora B
Usco salida hacia la rotonda
Salgo corriendo y así me esconda
Ya está anocheciendo
Cada cosa a su lugar
Sopla el viento una vez más
Soplando está el viento
Cada cosa a su lugar
Anochece y no veo más
(Composición música y letra: Juanita Añez Rothmann)
The lyrics of Bituin's song Su Lugar describe a sense of restlessness and wandering, as the singer seems to be constantly searching for something or someone, but unable to find them. The first verse introduces us to a mysterious figure who arrives without warning, sits in the shade and waits silently, only making eyes at the lady when she is alone. The chorus sets a moody and contemplative tone, as if the winds of change are blowing and everything is shifting towards its proper place. The second verse sees the singer admitting to waiting for hours with no one to talk to, praying to her lady and trying to find her way through the city. The bridge is a melancholic plea for help and understanding, as she seeks a way out and hides herself away. The final chorus is a sombre reflection on the passing of time and the sense of loss that comes with it.
