Suena blanca espuma
El Kinto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blanco, azules, verdes van
Cuando tiene vira, corre y se mira
Olas van cantando
Olas cantando
De la costa cerca está
Suena blanca espuma
Viento tras la luna
Llega a la playa tranquila
Muere en su cuerpo la vida
Vida, vida
Olas van cantando
Olas van cantando
De la costa cerca está
A los montes pasará
Suena blanca espuma
Viento tras la luna
Suena blanca espuma
Suena blanca espuma
Suena blanca espuma
Suena blanca espuma
The lyrics to El Kinto's song "Suena blanca espuma" describe the life of a wave, from its birth in the sea to its eventual death on the shore. The first stanza portrays the wave's birth, stating that it "is born with the sea" and moves in shades of white, blue, and green. The wave is portrayed as being alive and full of movement, with the line "when it turns, it runs and looks at itself." The second stanza describes the wave's journey from the coast to the mountains, with the refrain "waves singing" repeated throughout.
The lyrics take on a more contemplative tone in the final stanza, with the line "it arrives at the beach calmly, life dies in its body." This seems to suggest that the wave's journey is ultimately futile, as it will eventually dissipate and be absorbed into the shoreline. The final refrain of "white foam sounds" is repeated several times, perhaps emphasizing the wave's impermanence and the inevitable cycle of life and death.
Overall, the lyrics of "Suena blanca espuma" are a meditation on the transience of life and the natural world, using the metaphor of a wave to explore these themes.
