Dragonfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La pasión despertará
Escuchando al corazón
El poder encontrará.
Domine, Dragonfly, Domine
Hoy tu sueño renacerá
Domine, Dragonfly, Domine
Y la ilusión que hay en tu corazón
Hoy déjala salir y aprende la lección.
Que lo que hagas, lo que digas
No te quiebres en mentiras
No te engañes con una sucia traición.
Y la ilusión que hay en tu corazón
Hoy déjala salir para que vea el sol.
Que la vida no es tan dura
Aunque tarde la descubras
Piénsalo que es una buena reflexión.
Por qué será que aun se viva en soledad
Por qué será que nunca hay tiempo para amar
Será, será que la locura de este mundo
Es el deseo más profundo de borrar.
Y muchos hay que solo hablan por hablar
Y muchos callan cuando se debe gritar
Que harás cuando pasen los años y sientas
Que has perdido esa oportunidad.
Por qué será que aun se viva en soledad
Por qué será que nunca hay tiempo para amar
Será… será que la locura de este mundo
Es el deseo más profundo de borrar.
Y nunca es tarde para pedir perdón
Ni más aún para levantar tu voz
Sentir, que hoy es ese día en el que has
Decidido seguir a tu corazón.

The lead guitarist was Randy Russ. He's from El Paso Texas as was the keyboard player. Ive played bass in a band with Randy here in El Paso for several years called The Twisted Hams. He told me when the recorded Hoochie Coochie Man, the studio engineer actually cut his solo out in the tape and taped it backwards. That's why the solo sounds as it does, lol. We played Portrait Of Youth and Hoochie Coochie Man back to back. Randy is still one of the best guitarists I've heard live and is still active here in El Paso. A few years ago, some British magazine interviewed him and they claim he's one of the best 100 guitarists no one has ever heard of, lol.
TEXAS N8V
Wow!!!! Great info, thanks for sharing this with us! I’m originally from EPT and would like to know when y’all are playing again. I’m in Austin area now. This album is killer Randy’s guitar playing is on 🔥
Jonathan Kosyjana
So cool. Thanks for chiming in! So that backwards solo was completely by mistake that's awesome. 100 best guitarist no one heard of is accurate
Mind Mesh
Life can be a struggle…But good rock n roll will always find its way home!
Harry Mccabe
Got this gem for $6.00 an absolute steal !! Great psyche !!
Thomas SMITH
Really crazy story about the band's name or what it wasn't. Great psychedelic stuff. Love that buzz of the fuzz. The axe man in the band could make his guitar talk.
Sometimes sounding like the British psych band Open Mind.
And so The Legend of the dragonfly continues.
One of the top underground American psych albums.
Magnarius
