Da La Claridad A Nuestro Sol
Chancho En Piedra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y mi estrella se ha apagado,
como puedo ver la alegría en nuestro cuerpo
sin entrar en tu sagrado santuario.
Dá la claridad a nuestro sol, que se nos va la vida,
Ya caminarás sin el temor de tropezar perdida.
Las caricias son las que mas me someten a tu calor
me quemo, mis cenizas aparecen en tu piel amor,
espero, hija del sol, que devuelvas a mi la emoción de escupir las mil
penas.
(CORO)... eres la claridad, llenas mi soledad, calmas la tempestad.
Si es que no te veo en mucho tiempo
me convenceré que he muerto,
así soñaré con tu aliento
siendo tu recuerdo mi único alimento.
Amo que me hables desde la distancia
quiero disfrutar de tu presencia,
ardo con las ganas de besarte en la cara,
ardo con las ganas de tenerte en mi cama.
(CORO)...
Ya la tempestad se calmará
y brillarán las luces que al evaporar las promesas
podrán quemar las últimas tristezas.
Dá la claridad a nuestro sol.
The lyrics of the song Da La Claridad A Nuestro Sol by Chancho En Piedra portrays a sense of melancholy and longing for someone special who fills the void of loneliness in the singer's life. The desolation and emptiness that the singer expresses are evident through lines like "Hoy me siento un poco nublado" which translates to "Today I feel a little cloudy" and "y mi estrella se ha apagado" meaning "and my star has gone out". The singer wants to see the happiness in life but is unable to do so without entering the sacred sanctuary of the person they are addressing their words towards.
The lyrics go on to express a sense of surrender, that the singer is subjecting themselves to the warmth of this person's embrace, as the lyrics state, "Las caricias son las que mas me someten a tu calor me quemo." The singer's ashes are left on this person's skin, revealing how intense their love for them is. The chorus sings, "Eres la claridad, llenas mi soledad, calmas la tempestad" which means "You are the clarity, filling my solitude, calming the storm". With this, the singer declares that this person is their light in times of darkness and their hope in times of despair.
Overall, the lyrics' interpretation presents the idea of how much one person can affect another's life positively, and how that person's absence can make a person feel lonely and distraught. The desire for their sacred sanctuary is the symbol for the person who fills every void in the singer's life and who makes it whole.
