LUPO
Cairobi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving slow around with you
From the hill where the sun is lying
Yellow strips of gold are straining here right into my eyes
And I'm glad you chose to spend today with me
Glad to see the sun burning
Silent you and silent me, waiting
For the sun to drown into the sea.
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
By my side now the river slides,
Looking for a sea to feed.
And I watch the wind
That blows invisible
Dancing with the wind
I think you know well the way I feel.
And I'm glad you chose to spend today with me
Glad to see the sun burning
Silent you and silent me, waiting
For the sun to drown into the sea.
Into the sea
La la la
La la la
La la
La la
La la la
La la
It's change
It's nothing at all
It's changed
Nothing at all
It's change
It's nothing at all
It's changed
Nothing at all
It's changed
It's nothing at all
It's change
It's nothing at all
The opening lines of Cairobi's "Lupo" set the tone right away. The singer is eagerly anticipating a day spent driving around with someone special. The scene is idyllic: the sun is beating down from a bright blue sky, casting golden beams across the landscape. The singer observes this with wonder, watching as the strips of sunlight pierce their eyes. The first verse also mentions a hill, possibly suggesting that the singer and their companion are out in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer is deeply appreciative of the company they're keeping. They're grateful that this person has chosen to spend the day by their side, and both are content to sit in silence, letting the peacefulness of the surroundings wash over them. When the sun finally begins to dip below the horizon, they watch in quiet awe as it sinks into the sea, casting the sky in a rich array of colors.
The final lines of "Lupo" are both curious and ambiguous. The repetition of the word "change" suggests that something is at work here, but it's unclear what it might be. Perhaps this is an acknowledgement that nothing in life remains constant, and that even moments like this are fleeting. Whatever the case may be, "Lupo" is a beautiful and introspective song that invites the listener to bask in its warm glow.

That's the day I've been waiting for
I have been anticipating this day for a long time
Driving slow around with you
We are cruising at a leisurely pace together
From the hill where the sun is lying
We are at a high vantage point where the sun is visible
Yellow strips of gold are straining here right into my eyes
Golden rays of sun are shining directly into my eyes
And I'm glad you chose to spend today with me
I am happy that you decided to spend this day with me
Glad to see the sun burning
I'm pleased to witness the bright sun shining
Silent you and silent me, waiting
We are both quiet, anticipating what will happen next
For the sun to drown into the sea.
We are waiting for the sun to set over the ocean
By my side now the river slides,
We are currently next to a river that flows softly
Looking for a sea to feed.
The river is searching for a larger body of water to flow into
And I watch the wind
I am observing the movements of the wind
That blows invisible
The wind is not visible, but its effects can be felt
Dancing with the wind
The wind seems to be moving rhythmically
I think you know well the way I feel.
I believe you understand my emotions completely
Into the sea
The sun is setting over the ocean
It's change
Things are different now
It's nothing at all
Yet, in some ways, it feels like nothing has changed
It's changed
There have been some significant changes
Nothing at all
Despite these changes, there is still a sense of familiarity
It's change
Once again, there have been changes
It's nothing at all
But at the same time, everything remains the same
It's changed
There has been further transformation
Nothing at all
Yet still, it feels like nothing has really changed

Llegué aquí por Álvaro Gordoa en su recomendación de discos 2017. No me arrepiento, gran sonido psicodélico y nostálgico, simplemente un sonido hermoso. No me atrevo a decir que es similar a Tame Impala porque los sintetizadores son instrumentos musicales universales. Cairobi tiene su propio sonido (Y)
