Canción de cuna para Julieta
Callejeros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y ahora se duerme,
su sueño empieza a crecer
no sabe lo que es mañana
solo aprende lo de hoy
brilla tu alma cuando nació.

Despierta con la mañana
el sol todo iluminó
llorando nos muestra el hambre con su expresión
así la vida quizas nos pide perdón.

Mi sueño vuelve a rodar,
en sus ojos, en mis ojos, en su amor.

Me siento y miro sus pasos
viviendo su propia razón
me invita a un mundo que hoy inventó
para que juguemos los dos.

Mi sueño vuelve a rodar,
en sus ojos, en mis ojos, en su amor.





Y ahora se duerme...

Overall Meaning

The song "Canción de cuna para Julieta" by Callejeros is a touching lullaby that speaks of the innocence and wonder of childhood. The first stanza sets the mood for the rest of the song as it describes a child falling asleep and beginning to dream. The child is unaware of what tomorrow may bring and can only focus on the present moment - a lesson that adults could stand to learn from. The line "brilla tu alma cuando nació" is particularly powerful, as it speaks to the purity and brightness of a newborn's soul.


The second stanza takes a darker turn, as the child wakes up to a world that is harsh and unforgiving. The reference to hunger is a reminder that not all children are fortunate enough to grow up in a safe and stable environment. Despite this, there is still a sense of hope in the lyrics - "así la vida quizás nos pide perdón" suggests that even in the midst of suffering, there is a chance for redemption and forgiveness.


The final stanza is the most personal, as the singer reflects on his own relationship with the child (presumably his daughter, Julieta). Watching her grow and explore the world around her has given him a renewed sense of wonder and purpose. The line "me invita a un mundo que hoy inventó/para que juguemos los dos" is a beautiful expression of the bond between parent and child, and the sense of playfulness and creativity that can arise from it.


Overall, "Canción de cuna para Julieta" is a moving and heartfelt tribute to the joys and challenges of parenthood, and a reminder to cherish the moments we have with the ones we love.
