Madrugada
Dano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

DANO: Me mira atento, siento su aliento a tabaco.
No sabe que estoy moviendo bolas como un ábaco.
No sabe que estoy sufriendo solo por un trabajo.
Soltaré mi mierda sin avisar como un pájaro.
Para mis niños que buscan razón.
Perdió la libertad oculta en algún pantalón.
Todos mis ídolos han muerto acribillados
quizá es que he elegido unos héroes equivocados.
El asfalto hace ese efecto visual como que humea
alguien tenía que exteriorizar toda esa pena.
Alguien tenía que hacerlo girar, como esa cinta.
Intentas rebobinar toda esa mierda
pero no vale. Métodos no formales.
Cuerpos de viejos clanes que cuelgan de los nogales.
Dicen que si combates el miedo no lo contraes.
Niños en soportales fumando joints colosales.

ERGO PRO: Midnight Marauders, madrugadas entre brothers.
Atracos para llenar empty pockets, son.
Cabrones camuflados esperando dentro de ese coche.
Mira el fantoche suplicando pa' que no le toquen,
derroche de músculo no vale cuando cae en el bloque.
Búhos de Minerva me protegen como un tótem,
luces de bohemia que te alumbran por la noche
dejaron mi alma en reservas como a ese apache.
Ese cabrón está fumando chocolate
porque la vida es castigo y es mejor que raudo pase.
Tres de la mañana, samuráis vagan errantes,
enemigos ponen trampas pero ellos siguen pa' alante.
Con el cuchillo delante, maricones creen ser alguien
ofreció su dignidad y su equipo y siguió sin ser nadie.




En el barrio se lo callan y lo saben!
Me siento libre like Muhammad en el Zaire, word!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dano's song "Madrugada" depict the harsh realities of life on the streets, filled with violence, struggle, and loss. Dano paints a vivid picture of a world where people are constantly at risk, resorting to crime to make ends meet, and losing their idols to senseless acts of violence. Through his lyrics, Dano conveys a sense of desperation and hopelessness, as he describes the struggle to survive in a dangerous and unforgiving world.


The opening lines of the song set the scene – Dano describes a man staring at him with tobacco-scented breath, oblivious to the fact that Dano is involved in criminal activities. Dano then reveals that he is suffering in silence, working hard to make a living, and ready to unleash his anger and frustration like a bird suddenly taking flight. The lyrics shift to a more generalized commentary on the struggles of youth, with Dano lamenting the loss of freedom and the struggle to find heroes who won't let them down.


In subsequent verse, Ergo Pro picks up the narrative, describing midnight escapades with his friends and the constant fear of being caught by the authorities. He uses the metaphor of "búhos de Minerva," which refers to the Roman goddess of wisdom, as a way of suggesting that he has learned to be wise and cautious in his actions. Ergo Pro also alludes to the concept of karma and the belief that life is a form of punishment, suggesting that he is resigned to his fate but determined to live life on his own terms.


Overall, "Madrugada" is a powerful and poignant song about the struggles of life in poverty and the constant battle to survive on the streets. It's a raw and honest depiction of life that resonates with many young people facing similar challenges in their own lives.
