Cultura Profética Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como a esta hora
Y he tomado ya como costumbre
Sentarme a esperar pa' ver si alcanzo a tener
Un vistazo de tu piel
Por eso sigo fiel
Cada día en la espera
Como madriguera
Tu tranquilidad me ecualiza
Y ya quiero conocer
Lo que te mueve
Eso que te hace ser
Tan intensa mujer de expresión tan sincera
Y vuelan, las horas vuelan
Y vuela el pensamiento con la intriga
Como mariposas vuelan en la barriga
Y vuelan, los días vuelan
Mil oportunidades pa' conocerte vuelan
Ah ah ay
Pero yo
Ya le cogí el gustito a la espera
Te veo llegar cada día
Y cuando demoras
Me entra una ansiedad que palpita
Y toda la sangre se me hace miel
Cuando te llego a ver
Tan bella como ayer
Vuelvo y te miro bien
Y te encuentro más bella
Es raro, lo acepto de alguna manera
Pero en realidad es distinto
En ti veo luces que no veré
Dudas que no sabré
Cosas sencillas que
Me encantaría tener una vida completa
Pero vuelan, las horas vuelan
Y vuela el pensamiento con la intriga
Como mariposas vuelan en la barriga
Y vuelan, los días vuelan
Mil oportunidades pa' conocerte vuelan
Pero yo ya le cogí el gustito a la espera
The song "La Espera" by Cultura Profética talks about waiting for someone special to arrive every day. The singer has made it a habit to sit and wait at a particular time to catch a glimpse of the person they are waiting for in the hopes of seeing their skin. The singer describes how this person's calmness helps them to stay calm and how they want to get to know them better.
As they wait, they wonder what makes this intense and sincere person who they are, and they feel the hours and days flying by with anticipation and intrigue. They describe the feeling of butterflies in their stomach as the person approaches, and how they continue to find them more beautiful with each passing day. The singer accepts that their feelings are different but finds beauty in the simple things and wishes to spend their whole life with this person. Despite the passing time, the singer has grown to enjoy the wait.
The overall theme of the song is about admiring someone from afar and the joy of waiting for them despite time and distance. The lyrics are poetic and describe the feelings of the singer and the anticipation they feel as they wait for this person daily.
