Alma y Fuego
Carajo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caminamos sobre el fuego
para llegar hasta el agua,
buscando dejar las cargas
para no mover tan lento,

¡por la oscuridad, a la eternidad!

Prometer y fallar es tan común
como juzgar, como juzgar!
divertirse y matarse es tan común
como olvidar, como olvidar!

Soldado que huye no sabrá
vivir fuera de la guerra,
guerrero del alma lucha en paz
para rescatar al ciego,

¡por la oscuridad… a la eternidad!

Prometer y fallar es tan común
como juzgar, como juzgar!
divertirse y matarse es tan común
como olvidar, como olvidar!

¿por donde se van los ángeles?
¿por donde vendrá el desastre?
abrimos las alas sin saber…
volar.

Prometer y fallar es tan común
como culpar, como juzgar!
divertirse y matarse es tan común
como olvidar,como olvidar!

¿por donde vendrán los ángeles?
¿por donde se va el desastre?




abrimos las alas sin saber…
volar

The chorus of the song emphasizes that promising and failing, judging, having fun and hurting oneself, and forgetting are all common experiences in life. The next verse states "Soldado que huye no sabrá vivir fuera de la guerra, guerrero del alma lucha en paz para rescatar al ciego" which means "A soldier that runs away won't know how to live outside of war, a warrior of the soul fights in peace to rescue the blind."
