Pochote
Clara Grun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiene vista al mar
Una colonia de fiestas
Y todo huele a sal
la vida esta en cada fase de muerte
y el resplandor es un sol
que abre pecho a una nube
soy un dolor que es letal
dejá de hablar
vamos arriba
donde nadie pretende
o entiende
quedarse
In the song "Pochote," Clara Grun sings about the closest pochote tree that has a view of the sea. The pochote tree is known for its height and longevity, and its location indicates that it has witnessed many parties and events happening in the area. The smell of the sea is strong and potent, and it sets the atmosphere for the song. Grun then sings that life is a series of dying phases, and the radiance shining down from the sun opens up the clouds in the sky.
Finally, the singer of the song admits that they are a lethal pain and implores for the listener to stop talking and move on. The chorus "vamos arriba, donde nadie pretende o entiende quedarse" translates to "Let's go up, where no one pretends or understands to stay." It's a simple and powerful line that indicates the singer's desire for change and growth, to move away from pain and towards possibility.
The lyrics effortlessly merge together with the melody, leading to a melancholic but mesmerizing song that captures the fleeting moments in life.
