Hombre Mundo
Camilo Artigas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La historia habla del hombre, el que pudo amar,
Amaba las canciones, amaba sus visiones,
Y la belleza de la luna en la oscuridad.

La historia habla de la vida que no volverá,
Cuando empezaba el día y el sol no se escondía,
Y el hombre mundo era dueño de la libertad.
De pronto la fatiga, de ser dueño de vida,
Le abrió el cerebro y la razón lo fue a traicionar,
Sintió que debería, embodegar sus días,
Y la ambición lo puso en obra para edificar,
Su propio lugar,
Su propio lugar,
Su propio.

"Recuerdo esos días en que podía volar,
Y lloro cada día el haber trazado mi plan,
No encuentro la salida en esta torre infernal,
Abro las alas y mi propio techo me hace bajar.

Lo se, yo era el hombre mundo
Y a todos los lugares yo me podía llevar.
Y hoy yo soy el hombre absurdo
Que dicta la sentencia de su propio final.

¡¿y quien me va a ayudar?!
¡¿y quien me va a ayudar?!
¡¿y quien me va a ayudar?!

Quizás súper man,
Quizás wall street o la bolsa,
O una expedición a la luna,
Quizás una carta formal,

Quizás el Citibank,
O el gerente de coca cola,
Quizás un cupón de revista,




Tal ves una jeringa fatal,
Quizás un buen disfraz.
