Água
Café Tacuba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que antes de sanar debo exponer
Agua para arrastrar la inmundicia
Que se a acumulado sin querer
Agua para alimentar el бrbol
Que un dнa su fruto nos darб
Agua no me faltes este aсo
Y con agua clara saciarй
La sed que a mi me persigue
Y con agua clara brindarй
Porque hoy estamos juntos otra vez.
The lyrics of Café Tacuba’s song Agua express a powerful metaphorical message about the life-giving and cleansing properties of water. In the first verse, the singer calls for water to clean his wounds, but acknowledges that he must expose them first in order for them to heal.

The second half of the verse speaks to the idea that sometimes we unknowingly accumulate “muck” in our lives that needs to be washed away by water.
In the second verse, the singer turns his attention to the life-sustaining power of water. He compares water to the nourishment that feeds a tree, which will one day bear fruit. This could be interpreted as a reference to the cyclical nature of life and the idea that what we put into the world comes back to us in some form. Finally, the chorus expresses the singer’s desire to quench his thirst with clear water and to use the water to celebrate being together with others.
Overall, the lyrics of Agua express an appreciation for the power of water to cleanse, nourish, and sustain life. It could be interpreted as a call to embrace vulnerability in order to heal and to recognize the interconnectedness of all living things.
