Canción Final
Cayo la Cabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La vida se pintó de gris
Yo inauguraba mi niñez
Vos renunciabas a vivir
Tatuados en el brazo
Me quedan tus abrazos
Y en el pecho esta canción
Si en tu hueco me hundo
Es que fuiste del mundo
La mejor versión
Aprendí a domar el llanto y respirar
Si el recuerdo no me pasa a buscar
Mi destino fui a matar, tu pasado reinventar, mi futuro revelar
Creci al costado del dolor
Fue mi revolución seguir
La murga, el barrio mi rincón
Sin vos la vida sigue ahí
De una extraña manera
Se que tu voz me espera
En algún lugar
La murga entera espera
Un sol de primavera
Para regresar
Inventar otro final
Después del temporal
La vida se revela y viene por mas
Cuando digan que ya esta
Escrito el guión
Es cuando se hace urgente una revolución
Darse la oportunidad
De ver que al final lo mas inesperado
Es lo que vale la pena esperar
The song Canción Final by Cayo la Cabra is a melancholic tune that depicts the contrasting lives of two people. The song starts with the singer describing a morning in April when life turned gray for them. The singer inaugurated their childhood, while the other person renounced living. It is not clear whether the other person died or abandoned their life through their actions. The memory of that person stays with the singer, and they can feel their embrace as they are tattooed on their arm. In their chest is a song dedicated to that person, a tribute to their life.
The singer talks about how they have come to terms with their pain, that they have learned to tame their crying and breathe in a way that does not hurt their soul. They wonder if the memory of the other person would come back to haunt them. They accept that they have grown alongside their pain, and it has become their revolution. The community they belong to, the murga, and the barrio (neighborhood) has been their comfort zone. Even though the other person is not there, life continues, but they can still sense the presence of their voice in some indefinite place.
The singer yearns for a different ending, one that is not determined by life's storms. The singer calls for a revolution, as they believe what is worthwhile in life is the unexpected, and it is worth waiting for. The song is about loss, pain, and finding the inner strength to keep going in the face of them. It is a powerful song that leaves a lasting impression.
