Las Batallas
Café Tacvba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que salirte de la escuela esta mañana?
Oye, Carlos, ¿por qué tuviste
Que decirle que la amabas, a Mariana?
En la escuela se corrió el rumor
Y en tu clase todo el mundo se enteró
Y en tu casa mamá te preguntó
O, peor aun, fue mariana sí
Fue ella quien te lo propuso
Papá dijo: "este niño no es normal
Será mejor llevarlo al hospital"
Por alto que esté el cielo en el mundo
Por hondo que es el mar profundo
No habrá una barrera en el mundo
Que mi amor profundo no rompa por ti
Oye, Carlos, ¿por qué tuviste
Que salirte de la escuela esta mañana?
Oye, Carlos, ¿por qué tuviste
Que decirle que la amabas, a Mariana?
In Café Tacvba's song "Las Batallas," the singer addresses Carlos asking him why he had to leave school that morning and why he had to tell Mariana that he loved her. It seems that Carlos has caused some controversy with his actions, with rumors spreading throughout his school and his family interrogating him. The lyrics suggest that Carlos has confessed his love for Mariana, which has caused some sort of shock or disapproval from those around him.
The tone of the song is one of empathy, with the singer seemingly understanding and sympathizing with Carlos's situation. The chorus emphasizes the depth of love, with the lyrics "por alto que esté el cielo en el mundo, por hondo que es el mar profundo, no habrá una barrera en el mundo que mi amor profundo no rompa por ti" translating to "no matter how high the sky is in the world, how deep the deep sea is, there will be no barrier in the world that my deep love will not break for you." This suggests that regardless of the challenges or obstacles that may arise, the singer's love (presumably for Carlos) will always endure.
Overall, the song seems to be a message of support and encouragement for those who may face adversity or disapproval as a result of their feelings or actions. The lyrics highlight the importance of standing by those we love, even in the face of societal pressure or judgment.
