Marina
Circo Vulkano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La muchacha en casa muy sifrina
Su padre no la deja tener novio
Y dice que el malandro aquí soy yo.
Yo estoy enamorado de Marina
La muchacha en casa muy sifrina
Su padre no la deja tener novio
Suave, qué suave, como un pez de plata cayendo en el fondo del mar
Que tus tacones no arañan la espalda mientras me das de beber
Un poco de ese veneno que emana la fruta que escondes tan bien.
Marina!, Marina!
Su padre no la deja...
Marina!
The lyrics of Circo Vulkano's song "Marina" revolve around a love story between the singer and the titular character, Marina. The singer expresses his deep love for Marina, despite the fact that she comes from a wealthy family, and her father does not allow her to have a boyfriend. The singer feels frustrated that Marina's father sees him as a criminal or "malandro", and disapproves of their relationship. Despite these obstacles, the singer is completely enamored with Marina and compares her to a soft, silver fish moving in the deep sea. He longs for her to give him some of the "venom" from the fruit she hides so well, yet he still feels powerless in the face of her father's disapproval.
The song's lyrics are straightforward yet touching, as they tell the story of star-crossed lovers facing societal and familial boundaries that prevent them from being together. The lyrics are complemented by a catchy melody and a lively instrumental arrangement that adds to the emotional intensity of the lyrics.
