Bajo El Mar
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu crees que en los otros lados
Las algas mas verdes son

y sueñas con ir arriba
que gran equivocación

no vez que tu propio mundo
no tiene comparación

que puede haber alla afuera
que cause tal emoción

bajo del mar, bajo del mar
vives contenta siendo sirena
eres felíz

es que trabajan sin parar
y bajo el sol para variar

mientra nosotros siempre flotamos
bajo del mar

los peces son muy felices
aqui tienen libertad

los peces alla estan tristes
sus casas son de cristal

la vida de nuestros peces
muy larga no suele ser

si el dueño le apetece
"a mi me van a comer"

bajo del mar, bajo del mar
nadie nos frie ni nos cocinan
en un sarten

si no te quieres arriesgar
bajo del mar te quedarás

y sin problemas entre burbujas
tu vivirás

bajo del mar (bajo del mar)
bajo del mar (bajo del mar)
hay siempre ritmo en nuestro mundo
al natural (al natural la la la)

la mantarraya tocará
el esturion se unirá

siempre al ritmo, ritmo marino
bajo del mar

oye a la flauta
oye el arpa
y al contrabajo ponle atencion
veras las trompetas y el tambor
disfruta de tu cancion (si)

con la marimba y el violin
las luchas volteando y el otro cantando
sin olvidarnos del espadin
que empiece la funcion

bajo del mar (bajo del mar)
bajo del mar (bajo del mar)
hay bailarines
son las sardina, ven a bailar

para que quieres explorar
si nuestra banda va a tocar

hay castañuelas, son las almejas
bajo del mar

y las babosas son tan mocosas
bajo del mar

el caracol
es saxofonista

y las burbujas llenan la pista
para que bailes en esta fiesta





BAJO DEL MAR!!!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Bajo El Mar" from Disney's movie "The Little Mermaid" highlight the beauty and joy of living underwater as a mermaid or sea creature, while also pointing out the limitations and dangers of the human world.


In the first verse, the song dismisses the idea that life is better on land with the line "You think that on the other side, the seaweed is greener." The singer dreams of going up above, but it is described as a big mistake. The lyrics suggest that the underwater world, with its own unique wonders, cannot be compared to anything on land. The phrase "What can there be out there that causes such excitement?" emphasizes the disbelief that anything on land could surpass life under the sea.


The chorus celebrates the contentment and happiness of living under the sea, contrasting it with the hardships and monotony of life on land. It portrays the underwater world as a carefree and vibrant place, where the inhabitants don't have to work tirelessly or endure the scorching heat of the sun. The repetition of "under the sea" emphasizes the sense of belonging and fulfillment found in their underwater existence.


The second verse contrasts the carefree life of the underwater creatures with the sadness and confined existence of fish in fish tanks. It implies that the lifespan of captive fish is often cut short when their owners decide to eat them. This highlights the theme of freedom and the natural order of life under the sea, as opposed to the artificial and limited life experienced by fish kept in captivity.


The bridge section of the song adds to the upbeat and lively atmosphere, with various musical instruments mentioned, such as the flute, harp, contrabass, trumpets, tambourine, marimba, and violin, creating a joyful and playful atmosphere. This part also mentions the different sea creatures joining in the rhythmic celebration, like the manta ray and the sturgeon.


Overall, "Bajo El Mar" celebrates the vibrant and joyful underwater world while indirectly cautioning against the dangers and limitations of life on land. The lyrics emphasize the freedom, happiness, and sense of belonging found under the sea, encouraging listeners to embrace their own unique surroundings and appreciate the beauty that resides within their own world.
