Buenos Aires
Coti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un bocado de tu aire
Como quien no quiere olvidarte, buenos aires
Cuando mas lejos de ti yo me voy
Mas te siento cerca mio
Y mas te busco por otras ciudades
Tu piel de mar el marrón
Tu septiembre luminoso como un alma ahogada en pena
La misma edad
Y otro bar en decadencia
Y otra cuadra que cambio como cambia todo
Como cambio yo
Buenos aires, buenos aires
Alta llanura de la perdicion
Alma de una droga tan amarga que no cura pero duele
Buenos aires como me duele
Soy tu testigo del dia de hoy
Y vos sos el amor adolescente que no empieza ni termina
Buenos aires nunca termina
Tu piel De mar de marrón
Tu septiembre luminoso como un alma desahogada en pena
Por las calles de adoquines perfumadas de cemento mojado
La misma edad
Y otro bar en decadencia
Y otra cuadra que cambio como cambia todo
Como cambio yo
Buenos aires, buenos aires
In the first verse of Coti's "Buenos Aires," the singer describes how he carries a piece of the city's air in his bandoneon, a type of accordion commonly used in tango music. He does not want to forget the city he loves and misses so much. Even though he is far away, he still feels Buenos Aires close to him and searches for it in other cities. He describes the city's characteristics, such as the brown sea, the luminous September, and perfumed streets made of wet cement. The second verse elaborates on the idea that Buenos Aires is like a drug that is bitter and never cures but continues to hurt the singer. Coti talks about how Buenos Aires is like an eternal love that never starts or ends, and he will always be its witness. The song ends with the same description of Buenos Aires, emphasizing its constancy despite the changes in the singer and the world around him.
