12:30
Emmanuel Horvilleur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si ese milagro sucede que sea en la habitación,
llora la imagen de un santo bajo las luces de un león,
una furiosa estampida y ya estaba la televisión,
y de repente animales bailando plagan mi cancion.

Los monos tocaban a la mona, bailaba igual
el testimonio de todo lo nuestro,
menos de lo que paso.

Las mariposas están copulando
y llevo algunas dentro de mi
en un rato las verás volando,
y puede que te sientas feliz.

A las 12 te paso a buscar,
recordá que sos mía
12 y media estás lista,
para poder escapar.

Dos elefantes están apareándose en la habitación,
una jirafa que pinta sus labios con un rojo amor.
Los monos tocaban a la mona, bailaba igual
el testimonio de todo lo nuestro, menos de lo que paso.

Las mariposas están copulando
y llevo algunas dentro de mi.
En un rato las verás volando,
y puede que te sientas feliz

A las 12 te paso a buscar,
recordá que sos mía.
12 y media estás lista,
para poder escapar.

Dios creó todo y lo hizo con sus manos,
sus pies los usa para bailar,
en un rato lo veras creando
un paso para la humanidad.





A las 12 te paso a buscar, recordá que sos mía
12 y media estás lista, para poder escapar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "12:30" by Emmanuel Horvilleur are surreal and full of vivid imagery. The song seems to describe a bizarre and dreamlike scene in which animals are dancing and copulating while the singer is preparing to meet someone at midnight. The lyrics are filled with contradictions and unexpected twists, such as the crying saint and the television that is destroyed by an animal stampede. The singer seems to be caught between the reality of his own desires and the strange, animalistic world that he is witnessing.


The most prominent image in the song is that of animals, with monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and butterflies all making appearances. The animals seem to represent some sort of primal urge or desire that the singer is struggling to contain. The line "los monos tocaban a la mona" is particularly interesting, as it suggests that the animals are playing music to accompany their mating rituals. The image of the saint crying under the lion's lights is also intriguing, as it seems to suggest a clash between spirituality and carnality.


The song's chorus, which repeats the lines "a las 12 te paso a buscar, recordá que sos mía / 12 y media estás lista, para poder escapar," reinforces the sense of urgency and longing that permeates the lyrics. This idea of escape is central to the song - the singer is seeking to escape both the strange world he finds himself in and the constraints of his own desires. The song ends with a reference to God, suggesting that even in the midst of all this chaos and confusion, there is still a sense of divine creation and order that holds everything together.
