Cetu Javu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Observate,
Crees que es verdad, pero estas aqui (estas aqui)
Ningun lugar te cambiara, no mires pa' atras para atras
Es decir que no nos va cuando aqui estamos juntos
Por ??? anticuados
Aqui y alli, hoy y despues
Esta lo que nosotros buscamos lo que falta,
Recuerda lo que paso, sera un caso,
Aqui y alli, hoy y despues
Esta lo que nosostros buscamos lo que falta,
El tiempo pasara despidete ya
El tiempo pasara, despidete ya,
Recuerda lo que paso, sera un caso,
(x2)
The lyrics of Cetu Javu's song "Tiempo" talk about the passing of time and the need to move on. The first few lines address the listeners, telling them to observe and realize that they are here and that no place will change them. The lyrics suggest that there is something they are looking for that is missing in their current moment, and that it is the reason they cannot move on. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "el tiempo pasara, despidete ya" which can be translated to "time will pass, say goodbye now". This is a call to the listener to let go of the past and move forward.
The second verse continues with the message of leaving the past behind and focusing on the future. The line "sera un caso" can be translated to "it will be a case", which implies that the past should be seen as a closed case, something to be remembered but not dwelled upon. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that the passing of time is inevitable and that one should say goodbye to the past and embrace what's to come.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tiempo" are a reminder to the listener to let go of the past and focus on the future. The song encourages the listener to embrace change and move forward with their life.
