NAPITO
Carlos Mendez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Siento que te has ido algo temprano
tu bendición se quedara
Justo abajo de mi mente
Por favor no quiero risas
Tengo limpia mi camisa
He contado cosas
ahí un eterno vacío
y es mio
desde que no estas
empeze... empeze a cantar...
y así te sigo
rápidamente quedo en pausa
voy preparando mi movida
El tren que pasa por mi casa
viene desde colon
lo veo pasar todo el día
que fuerte generación
la luz que ilumina tu espacio
el mi bombillo azul
Y cuando te vi
jugando por primera vez
caí rendido
a tus pies
pasarán muchos años
siento que hoy estas
viendo todo como acontece
por encima de aquí
viejo maestro
lleno de luz
brindó por ti siempre
hoy la estrategia
me pregunta cosas que no se
me pone a prueba
"juega vivo"
In Carlos Mendez's song "Napito," the singer is addressing Napoleon, who has passed away too soon. The singer expresses that while Napoleon may be gone, his blessings or memory will stay with them. The singer then requests to not be laughed at and assures that they have things under control. The singer reveals that they have counted things and that within them, there is an eternal emptiness that has started since Napoleon's passing. But despite this emptiness, the singer continues to sing and follow their path, with a pause in between to prepare for their next steps.
The song's lyrics showcase the singer's lament for the loss of Napoleon and the sense of emptiness he left behind. The singer's request to not be laughed at implies that they may have been judged or belittled for their mourning. The line "He contado cosas" can be interpreted in different ways - it could mean that the singer has literally counted things, or it could be a metaphor for them trying to make sense of the loss. The mention of the passing train and its connection to Colon could be a reference to the idea of time moving forward and the inevitability of change. The singer's addressing of Napoleon as "viejo maestro" or "old master" suggests that Napoleon may have been a mentor or a guide in the singer's life - hence, the feeling of loss and emptiness.
