Chambao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
compañeras de viaje
cúmulos de agua y viento
con mil formas y mensajes.
Maestras de melodias
componiendo unacanción
con perfectasarmonias
Caprichos de colores
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela
cierra los ojos
caprichos de colores
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela, vuela, vuela.
En todos los lugares
en todos los momentos
recorriendo el planeta
son raros elementos.
Paisajes con lenguaje
dibujos en el cielo
surcando rios y mares
que son sueños de terciopelo.
Caprichos de colores
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela
cierra los ojos
caprichos de colores
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela
cierra los ojos
vuela, vuela, vuela, vuela.
Tiriti tran tran tran tran……
The song "Caprichos De Colores" by Chambao is an ode to the beauty and power of nature, specifically the clouds. The lyrics describe clouds as "silent companions" and "masters of melodies," with their ever-changing shapes and messages that can evoke emotions and speak to the heart. The song encourages the listener to close their eyes and let themselves be carried away by the "whims of color" that the clouds offer, urging them to fly with them, and experience a sense of freedom and escape from the everyday.
The lyrics also highlight the universal presence of clouds, as they can be found in every place and at every moment, making them a rare element that connects all spaces and times. The clouds are described as a language, drawing pictures in the sky, like dreams made of velvet, as they travel across rivers and seas.
Overall, "Caprichos De Colores" presents the idea that through the beauty and wonder of nature, we can experience a sense of transcendence and connection to something greater than ourselves, reminding us of the power of imagination and the importance of cherishing the natural world around us.
