Arenal & Bodoque
Charliepapa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suena una guitarra sola
En la orilla mujeres bellas
Y a ellas quiero cantarles hoy
De donde soy.
En la montaña también
Hay música de fondo
En la montaña se respira aire
Y aunque no es puro como parece
Te expande
Te expande.
Ecos del ayer
No te dejaran salir
Magia en el ambiente
Tu subconsciente saberlo tu mente
Tu subconsciente saberlo tu mente.
En la montaña hay aves de todos colores
Que sobrevolando estimulan tus sensaciones
Te expanden
Te expandes
Se expanden.
The lyrics of Charliepapa's song Arenal & Bodoque evoke a sense of longing for the beauty and simplicity of nature, particularly in the mountains and by the sea. The first stanza describes the sound of a lone guitar playing against the backdrop of the waves, with beautiful women on the shore that the singer wishes to serenade about his hometown. The second stanza continues with the theme of music in nature, but in the mountains this time, where the lack of material possessions is replaced by the abundance of fresh air that expands one's senses. The chorus "Ecos del ayer no te dejaran salir, magia en el ambiente, tu subconsciente saberlo tu mente" (Echoes of yesterday won't let you leave, magic in the air, your subconscious knows it, your mind knows it) implies that the singer is deeply connected to the past and the present, and can feel the magic of the air around him.
The final stanza reintroduces the theme of expansion, but this time through the colorful birds flying over the mountains that stimulate one's sensations and expand one's mind. The use of repetition throughout the song ("Te expande, te expande, se expanden") reinforces this idea of expansion and encourages the listener to embrace the beauty and simplicity of nature.
Overall, Arenal & Bodoque is a beautiful ode to the wonders of nature and a reminder to appreciate the simplicity of life.
