Todo va
El Hombre Burbuja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siempre estoy subido en un árbol,
Todo el mundo pasa debajo,
Dicen hey, qué tal te va?,
Hoy va bien, hoy quizá,
Y aunque a veces se me va,
Todo bien, todo va.

Siempre atiendo y nunca hago caso,
Saludar es siempre un fracaso,
Dicen hey, qué tal te va?
Hoy mejor, hoy quizá,
Y aunque a veces se me va,
Todo bien, todo va.





Todo es fácil cuando todo va,
Todo es fácil cuando todo va...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Hombre Burbuja's song Todo Va express the idea of detachment from the world and the flow of events that happen around us. The imagery of the singer being on top of a tree and watching people passing by underneath suggests a sense of distance from mundane matters. The repeated question "hey, qué tal te va?" creates a sense of routine, where people often ask each other how they are doing but don't necessarily pay attention to the answer. The singer acknowledges this by saying that he always responds positively, even though sometimes his mind is not fully present.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Todo bien, todo va," which can be translated as "Everything's fine, everything's going." This could be seen as a mantra or a way of coping with the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The verse "siempre atiendo y nunca hago caso" can be interpreted as the singer being aware of what is going on but choosing not to engage with it or getting involved in meaningless interactions. This detachment is reflected also in the music, with a slow tempo and a dreamy sound that creates a sense of suspension in time.


Overall, Todo Va is a song that invites the listener to reflect on the nature of reality and the value of staying grounded in the present moment, even when things don't go according to plan.
