Dos
Canteca De Macao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pa fuera hace frio, mi niño esta noche
mi cama es tu risa
y si quieres te abrigo yo
He pensado que este cartón esta mojado
que lo voy a tirar
o a cambiar por otro del supermercado
Pensabamos comprarnos un chalet
pensabamos conducir mercedes benz
pero la cosa no esta fácil...
Y a la luz de una candela
duermen juntitos sobre la acera de este Madrid
y al caer la noche se abrazan fuerte
porque entre sueños se esta feliz
Sonrio cuando oigo tu voz
historias que cuentas para pasar el rato
de las horas muertas del lunes al sol
voy que de uno pal otro lado pensando
si el yogur que me como estara caducado
....me lo he encontrado!
Caminan lentos sobre el sendero de asfalto
que su porvernir, no fue siempre así
y cuando más sonrien menos se gasta el corazón
que ya es de marfil...

They sleep on the street in the cold, but they find happiness in each other's embrace.

This song is a reminder that love is more important than those things. It's a celebration of the unconditional love that can exist between two people, regardless of their circumstances. The song talks about the beauty in simplicity and how love can bring happiness in any situation.
