Madre
Dulcamara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nueva carne
Viejo dolor
El cuchillo y la aguja
Silban una cancion
Trozo a trozo...
Pieza a pieza...
Dan sentido al rompecabezas.
Yerma
Vacia en su interior
Sin vida en su interior

Suturas y cortes
Cauterizancion
Cirugia empapada con su amor
Trozo a trozo...
Pieza a pieza...
La nueva vida esta completa.

Yerma
Vacia en su interior
Sin vida en su interior.

Duerme sin temor
Que tu madre rehace tu carne
Y apagara por siempre el dolor





La muerte es principio del horror.

Overall Meaning

Dulcamara's song Madre tells the story of a mother who takes matters into her own hands to heal her child's pain. The opening lines "Nueva carne, viejo dolor" suggest that the child is suffering from an old wound, possibly physical or emotional. The use of "cuchillo" (knife) and "aguja" (needle) as instruments to help the child suggest that the mother is performing a surgical procedure. The lines "Trozo a trozo...pieza a pieza...dan sentido al rompecabezas" (Piece by piece, bit by bit, give sense to the jigsaw puzzle) imply that the mother is carefully and meticulously piecing together her child's body and emotions to make them whole again.


The chorus is repeated twice, highlighting the mother's love for her child as she sews them back together, one stitch at a time. The use of the word "Yerma" (Barren) suggests that the child was once empty, lacking in life and emotion. However, through the mother's surgical procedure, the child's "new life is complete". The song ends with the mother soothing her child to sleep, promising that she will "recreate your flesh and forever extinguish your pain". The line "La muerte es principio del horror" (Death is the beginning of horror) implies that death is not the end, but rather, the beginning of a new cycle of pain and suffering.


Overall, Madre is a visceral and complex exploration of a mother's unconditional love for her child. The surgical metaphor suggests that the mother is willing to go to great lengths to heal her child, while the use of repetition in the chorus provides a sense of consistency and care.
