Casa De Mi Padre
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El amor no es un juego cualquiera
Los sueños desvanecen de alguna manera
Todo se pierde si somos uno
Somos dos o no somos ninguno
Una casa no es de arena y ladrillo
Es hecha de sangre y sudor mío
Y sobre ella reposa
La casa de mi padre
La casa de mi padre
Una casa no es de arena y ladrillo
Es hecha de sangre y sudor mío
La tierra hermosa es como nuestra madre
Y sobre ella reposa
La casa de mi padre
La casa de mi padre
Casa de mi padre
La casa de mi padre
In "Casa De Mi Padre", Christina Aguilera is reflecting on the importance of family and home. The song is an ode to her father's house, where she grew up and learned about the value of love and hard work. Aguilera begins by acknowledging that love is not a simple game - dreams often fade away and everything can be lost if we don't work together with those we love. She emphasizes that a home is not just built with bricks and sand, but with the sweat and blood of those who have worked to make it a reality.
For Aguilera, the "beautiful land" is like a mother to us, and it is upon this land that her father's house stands. She reinforces the idea that a house is not just a physical structure, but a place where we feel safe and loved. The repetition of the song's title - "La casa de mi padre" - serves to drive home the point that for Aguilera, her father's house is not just a place, but a feeling.
Overall, "Casa De Mi Padre" is a heartfelt tribute to Aguilera's family and upbringing. It reminds us of the importance of cherishing the people and places that make us who we are.

This is such a great song, and Aguilera can really belt out those high notes - kind of wonder why she hasn't been approached for creating an opening credits song for a James Bond movie yet.

DC-Tiki My guess is that her voice doesn't qualify. And I mean the sound of her voice. All the previous singers have had an "old" ring to them and C.A's voice sound more modern. Amy Winehouse was being considered but she never got her self together so they went with Adele. Notice the sounds of those voices and compare them to the rest. They fit right in with the exception of Madonna who I think it was a huge mistake to bring into the mix.

shakimaro ~ Whaaaaa?? Whatta ya mean by "Her Voice Does Not Qualify" because she sounds too "Modern"?? Allow me to shed some light as I am a huge fan about Music, Christina, & James Bond Theme Songs. 1- Christina's voice is timeless. She has proven that she can sing any genre & her work speaks volumes to this. She has recorded & covered songs in soul/jazz/blues/ballad/pop/R&B/Rock/Bolero/Latin styles. & she was dipping her toes in retro sounds way before Amy Winehouse & Adele came along. Now as far as for the James Bond Theme Music? Madonna recorded an electronic music theme that back then not many artist where doing outside of Electrinica music. Not all artist whom have created music for such have to sound like Sinatra or Bassey. Tina Turner, Alicia Keys & Jack White, Sherryl Crow, Chris Cornell, Madonna, did not sound retro. They all sounded modern. And though Shirley Manson's THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, which in my opinion is the best James Bond theme song ever, sung over a retro arrangement her vocals were true to her natural way of singing. Its just a matter of preferential taste in regards to the people involved with the 007 soundtrack/score.

***** I appreciate the "lesson" but I hope you don't think I don't know my C.A music and voice. Also don't think i'm some one-genre or on-era listener. I know my music too. C.A's voice just doesn't seem right for a JB film. No one is saying she is a bad singer and no one is saying she can't do other genres. That is clearly not true. But to me, at least, she does not have a "timeless voice", she sounds like Lady Gaga when she doesn't do pop. They are great voices but can be easily associated with a time period because they sound like they are covering classics rather than creating classics.
@SeekThePaleSeptember
shakimaro ~ Ha ha, fair enough. I suppose Ive just been subscribed to the idea that CA & Lady Caca (oooh no he did-nrrrt, let me stop I actually do respect her musical ability) were timeless voices not bound by genre. But I mean yes, they are generational products of our current musical landscape. So as such their dealings for selling their music has to mimic to some degree whats popular now a days because thats their prime market. Now what I am interested in knowing is whom do you consider to have a timeless voice? Please dont respond Michael Jackson. 😀😀
@shakimaro
***** LOL I would never suggest M.J. for a timeless voice. I think Nina Simone. Also Melody Gardot has a timeless voice. If you want a more popular choice, Amy Winehouse, Karise Eden and Laura Pausini. I also happen to think (don't judge me) that Michael Buble has a timeless voice even if he is a little goofy and gimmicky, i think he has a classic voice and that's why it can be timeless. When I think of "timeless" I definitely don't think of A.C even though her voice is one of the best of her generation.

my favorite part is when she mentions the part about her dads house
