Chica De Cristal
Coz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voluble y caprichosa como burbujas de champán
Puro terciopelo, seda natural
La reina de la noche del disfraz
Poses de maniquí, de estatua de sal
Que ocultan tras un velo la verdad
Si la ves por ahí, no la trates mal
Que solo es una chica de cristal
Yo que soy un mendigo al que le gusta imaginar
He soñado con ella como una princesa medieval
Tú puedes pensar que es artificial
Pero ella esconde el fuego de un volcán
Poses de maniquí, de estatua de sal
Que ocultan tras un velo la verdad
Si la ves por ahí, no la trates mal
Que solo es una chica de cristal
Chica de cristal
Hoy que todo es de plástico, cartón ó de metal
A veces te da miedo algo tan frágil de tocar
Y ella, en su habitación, suele echarse a llorar
Porque alguien le ha robado la verdad
Poses de maniquí, de estatua de sal
Que ocultan tras un velo la verdad
Si la ves por ahí, no la trates mal
Que solo es una chica de cristal
Chica de cristal...
The lyrics of Coz's song "Chica De Cristal" describe a young woman who is fragile and unstable, like the delicate flowers made of cellophane or the bubbles in champagne. The singer describes her as a queen of the night, a person who wears a mask to hide her true self. She puts on poses like a mannequin or statue to hide her emotions and innermost feelings. She has a certain beauty and grace, but she remains a mystery to others. In the chorus, Coz asks not to treat her badly, as she is just a girl of crystal - fragile, transparent, and pure.
The song talks about how people often judge others by appearances alone, and how they fail to see the real person inside. The singer, who admits to being poor and homeless, presents himself as someone who loves to imagine and dream. However, he recognizes that the young woman he dreams about is a complex and deep person, not just an artificial beauty. He acknowledges her hidden passion and emotions, and asks the listener not to mistreat her.
Overall, "Chica De Cristal" is a song that explores the idea that appearances can be deceiving, and that we should look beyond the surface to understand someone's true nature.
