El Tri Lyrics

Todas las personas, de todas las razas
La fueron a ver alguna vez
Todos los periódicos, de todo el planeta
La fueron a ver y a entrevistar
Y ella muy poco les platicó
Secretos les ense–ó, los ojos se los abrió
A todo el universo
Todas las revistas de todo el planeta

Hablaban de ella bien, alguna vez
Todos los filósofos
Todos los poetas la conocen bien
Chulada de mujer
Ella alcanzó la inmortalidad
Y lo hizo a nivel mundial
En vida llegó a ser casi casi
Como un dios

Ella es un símbolo
Es como un símbolo
María sabina es un símbolo
De la sabiduría y el amor
Ella es un símbolo de amor

Un día el ser supremo
Quiso que se fuera a viajar con él
Juntos los dos
Y fue tan fuerte el viaje
Que los dos tuvieron
Que allá se quedó y ya nunca regresó
Ella el camino nos enseñó
La ruta nos la trazó
Los ojos nos los abrió
A todo el universo

Ella es un símbolo

Overall Meaning

of the profound wisdom and love that she possessed. In "María Sabina," El Tri sings about the influence and legacy of a remarkable woman who is revered as a symbol of spiritual knowledge and insight. Maria Sabina, a Mazatec shaman from southern Mexico, gained worldwide recognition through her use of entheogenic mushrooms in healing ceremonies.

The lyrics describe how people from all walks of life and parts of the world came to visit Maria Sabina at some point, including newspapers, magazines, philosophers, and poets. Although she shared very little about her secrets with them, she opened their eyes to the vastness of the universe. Maria Sabina's fame and influence extended beyond her lifetime and became almost god-like, immortalized in her enduring legacy.

The song also recounts her final journey when the supreme being chose to take her with him on a powerful journey. Despite her absence, Maria Sabina left behind her teachings, paving the way for generations to come. The listener understands that Maria Sabina's influence is not something that can be contained or limited to her physical presence. Instead, she is a symbol or representation of something far greater than herself.
