Chau Chau...
Claudio Taddei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Para que hay que esperar
Me voy a ir
Llego la hora y como siempre
Hay que salir

Ya lo escuche
Pronto va a cambiar
Hay que esperar el año que viene
Solo pasa un año mas

Creo que no hay que desperar
Ya se perder
Me equivoque unas cuantas veces
Por querer volver

Aca o alla
Ahora me da igual
Si tengo mas amigos afuera
Para que me voy a quedar

Chau chau ya me voy
Me estoy yendo de aquí
No se si voy a seguir
Pero me voy contento

Chau chau ya nos vamos
Somos muchos hermanos
El ultimo que prenda una luz
A ver si a la vuelta esta mas claro

Me saluda el mar, me saluda el cielo
Como a mis abuelos
Asi es como la ves
Se repite el juego

Ya vos que te quedas
Que seas feliz
Te lo digo con el corazon abierto
Y no te olvides de mi

Chau chau ya me voy
Me estoy yendo de aquí
No se si voy a seguir
Pero me voy contento

Chau chau ya nos vamos
Somos muchos hermanos




El ultimo que prenda una luz
A ver si a la vuelta esta mas claro

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Claudio Taddei's song "Chau, Chau..." are reflective of someone who has made the decision to leave and move on, despite the uncertainty of what the future may bring. The opening lines, "Para que hay que esperar, me voy a ir" (Why wait, I'm leaving) indicate a sense of urgency to move forward and not waste any more time. The singer acknowledges that things will inevitably change in the future, but decides not to wait and instead take action now.


The song also touches on the difficulty of letting go of past mistakes, with the line "Me equivoque unas cuantas veces, por querer volver" (I made a few mistakes by wanting to go back). However, the singer ultimately decides that it's time to move on and not dwell on the past. Despite this decision, the singer still expresses a sense of appreciation and nostalgia for what they are leaving behind, as shown in the line "Me saluda el mar, me saluda el cielo como a mis abuelos" (The sea greets me, the sky greets me like my grandparents).


The chorus, "Chau, chau ya me voy, me estoy yendo de aquí" (Bye, bye I'm leaving, I'm going from here) and "Chau, chau ya nos vamos, somos muchos hermanos" (Bye, bye we're leaving, we're many brothers) emphasize the sense of departure and the need to move on. However, there is also a sense of community and that this decision is not taken alone.


Overall, the song "Chau, Chau..." is a poignant reminder of the struggles and feelings that come with leaving something behind and moving forward.
