Llegando a La Partida
Camilo Artigas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No quiero extrañar a nadie,
No quiero regresar,
No quiero hacer llorar a nadie,
No quiero payasear,
No quiero hacerme unos panes,
No quiero fatigar.
¿Puedes ver como estoy sentado hoy?
Justamente así es como me siento ahora
Chueco y jorobado, justo como soy,
Ambas circunstancias que mi silla ignora.

Y tu me dices que me siente bien,
Quizás no entiendes que me siento mal.

(Pensando, durmiendo, amando, odiando,
Comiendo, ayunando)
No quiero desafiar a nadie, (subiendo, bajando, naciendo, muriendo, tomando, meando)
No quiero arrugar (cantando, callando, sabiendo, ignorando, luchando)
No quiero deshacer mis planes,(cediendo, partiendo, volviendo,
Soñando, entendiendo, jugando, llorando,
Matando)
No quiero continuar, (salvando, corriendo, parando)
No quiero ver cuajar los flanes,
No quiero enfermar.
¿Puedes ver como estoy sentado hoy?
Justamente así es como me siento ahora
Chueco y jorobado, justo como soy,
Ambas circunstancias que mi silla ignora.

Y tu me dices que me siente bien,
Quizás no entiendes que me siento mal.

Mojando, secando, rindiendo, hueviando,
Sonando, aspirando, quitando, entregando,
Vendiendo, comprando, prendiendo, apagando,




Sufriendo, gozando, reptando, volando,
Oliendo, expeliendo, gastando, ahorrando

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Camilo Artigas's song Llegando a La Partida convey a sense of apathy and resignation. The singer lists things they don't want to do, such as make someone cry or become ill. They sit there feeling crooked and hunchbacked, both physical characteristics that their chair ignores. They feel bad and the listener's suggestion that they feel good misses the mark.


The singer then continues with a litany of actions they don't want to take, such as challenging someone, ruining their plans, or continuing on. They don't want to see flans solidify, a metaphor for a finality they want to avoid. The final stanza lists actions they do or could do, which seem to contrast with the previous stanzas. However, these actions are simply part of life, neither good nor bad, with verbs such as suffering, enjoying, or saving.
