Rejas Electrificadas
Charly Garcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Detrás de las paredes
que ayer te han levantado
te ruego que respires todavía.
Apoyo mis espaldas y espero que abraces
atravesando el muro de mis días.
Y rasguña las piedras,
y rasguña las piedras.
y rasguña las piedras hasta mí.
Apenas perceptibles, escucho tus palabras
se acercan las bandas de rock and roll
y sacuden un poco,
las paredes gastadas
y siento las preguntas de tu voz.
Y rasguña las piedras,
y rasguña las piedras.
y rasguña las piedras hasta mí.
Y si estoy cansado de gritarte
es que sólo quiero despertarte.
Y por fin veo tus ojos
que lloran desde el fondo
y empiezo a amarte con toda mi piel
Y escarbo hasta abrazarte
y me sangran las manos
pero qué libres vamos a crecer
Y rasguña las piedras,
y rasguña las piedras.
y rasguña las piedras hasta mí.
Y rasguña las piedras,




y rasguña las piedras.
y rasguña las piedras hasta mí.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Charly García's song Rejas electrificadas talk about a person who is trapped behind walls that were built around them. The singer is trying to reach them and urging them to keep breathing. They lean against the wall in the hopes that the person behind it will embrace them and break through the wall that separates them. The person behind the wall asks questions and tries to communicate with the singer, and their words are barely perceptible under the sound of the rock and roll bands that keep playing outside the walls.


The singer is tired of shouting for the person behind the wall and only wants to awaken them from their trapped state. Finally, the person behind the wall reveals themselves to the singer, and they start loving them with all their heart. Even though their hands bleed from digging through the wall, they are now free to grow and develop. The phrase "y rasguña las piedras" (and scratches the stones) is repeated throughout the song as a metaphor for the effort and pain it takes to break free from the walls of oppression.


Overall, the song's lyrics are about breaking free from the constraints that someone or something has put on you. It advocates for love, growth, and freedom and encourages people to persevere through the difficulties of breaking free.
