Cancion De Cuna
De La Gran Piñata Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vos golpeaste su puerta
Y él te impuso sus normas.
Bendita sea la forma en que te hacés valer.
Vos contás las ovejas
Y él se queda su lana.
¿O será que tus ganas se pueden tejer?
Lleva entre sueños una pesadilla
Y entre los dientes un despertador.
¿Y para qué voy a contarte un cuento?
Si hay quienes pagan por soñar.
Voy a contarte un cuento igual.
Sin embargo amanece
Y seguís bostezando.
¿Sabés? de tanto en tanto, podés despertar.
Lleva entre sueños una pesadilla
Y entre los dientes un despertador.
¿Y para qué voy a contarte un cuento?
Si hay quienes pagan por soñar.
Voy a contarte un cuento igual.




Canción de cuna para un playmobil
Y al milagrito del tetrabrik.

Overall Meaning

In De La Gran Piñata's song, "Canción de cuna," the lyrics speak to the struggle of living under someone else's rules and expectations. The first verse describes how someone knocked on a door and was met with these imposed norms. However, the lyrics also suggest that the person knocking is a strong individual who knows their worth and is able to assert themselves. In the second verse, the lyrics again touch upon the theme of struggle and resistance, with someone counting sheep while the other person benefits from their labor. Yet, there is also a sense of hope that perhaps the person's desires can be woven into reality.


The chorus of the song refers to a person who has a recurring nightmare and holds onto an alarm clock, possibly indicating a fear of being late or running out of time. Despite this, the refrain emphasizes the idea of telling a story, even though there are those who pay to dream. The song closes with the title repeated twice: "Canción de cuna para un playmobil Y al milagrito del tetrabrik." The phrase can be translated to "Lullaby for a Playmobil and the miracle of the Tetra Pak." The verse seems to offer a message of comfort, suggesting that even small, insignificant things can bring joy and happiness.
