The Sea
Diego And The Dissidents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Camino a la ciudad con mi guitarra
Sin molestar a nadie
Voy cortando cadenas
Estoy creciendo contra la miseria
De alguna que otra pena
Pero pierdo el control
Siempre la misma cancion
[Chorus]
Nene nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
Nene nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
Estrella de rock -n- roll presidente de la nacion?
Nene que vas hacer cuando alguien apriete el boton?
Estoy casi condenado
Ante el exito para no ser un perro fracasado
Asi, asi ,asi,asi yo te ense?ado
Generaciones tras genraciones
Marchanami lado
Solo quiero jugar
Soy el sueo de mama y papa
No les puedo fallar
[Chorus: x2]
Nene nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
Nene nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
Estrella de rock-n-roll presidnete de la nacion ?
Nene nene que vas ahcer cuando alguien apriete el boton?
Nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
Woah, woah, woah
Nene nene que vas hacer cuando seas grande?
(Cuando seas grande)
These lyrics are from Diego And The Dissidents's song "The Sea." The singer describes himself as a boy from the streets who walks to the city with his guitar. He is cutting chains and defying poverty and other hardships. However, he loses control and listens to the same old song when he gets home. The chorus asks the boy what he will do when he grows up, wondering if he will become a rock star or the President of the nation. The lyrics describe the pressure that comes with success and the desire to not disappoint one's parents.
The lyrics suggest a familiar story of a young person trying to make it big in the world of music. The singer seems to be aware of the sacrifices and hard work that come with success, and he is trying to stay true to himself while navigating this pressure. The chorus's repetitive question seems to be a reminder to the boy to keep his eyes on the prize and not to let anyone or anything stand in his way. Overall, the song speaks to the struggle of pursuing one's dreams while also grappling with societal expectations and personal ambition.
