Baila
Emmanuel Horvilleur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y no quieres oír lo que le toca a tu vida
Están repartiendo el mundo
Y lo que va para ti es un callejón sin salida
Una tormenta de mentes masticás al pasar
Ves en mi lomo un tatuaje más
La virgen desatanudos atando mis zapatos
Ya listo para el baile estoy
Sin pensar, sin sufrir
Sientes el piso como el mar
Tengo el lomo como loco
Se reflejan labios rojos
Y te pintaste para ir a la discoteca
En donde nena vos sabes que sos una estrella
Y un acuerdo con los dioses
Que te dejan que te vistas en el once
La cumbia suena tan especial
Pero un robot no te hace gozar
Hay tanto fuego y sale de ti
Que yo me quiero quemar
Y bailar como una flor
Acabas sin pensar en sufrir
Sientes el piso como el mar
A bailar y a gozar como una flor
Acabas sin pensar, sin sufrir
Sientes el piso que dice bailá
Prendes la radio y escuchas
Y no quieres oir lo que le toca a tu dia
Venir corriendo hacia mi
Pidiendome poner fin a su valija de heridas
Y a bailar y a gozar
Como una flor acabas sin pensar, sin sufrir
Sientes el piso como el mar
A bailar y a gozar
Como una flor acabas sin pensar, sin sufrir
Sientes el piso que dice
Bailá, bailá, bailá, bailá, bailá
Bailá, bailá, bailá
Sobre mi lomo, sobre mi lomo
Sobre mi lomo, sobre mi lomo
Sobre mi lomo, sobre mi lomo
The lyrics of Emmanuel Horvilleur's song "Baila" depict a sense of escapism and liberation through dancing. The opening lines suggest a desire to escape from the realities of life by turning on the radio and avoiding the issues that pertain to one's existence. The world is presented as unfair and opportunities seem limited, symbolized by a dead-end alley. However, the singer finds solace in dancing and embraces it as a form of freedom.
The lyrics introduce the idea of a "mind storm" that the singer chews on as they pass by. This implies a constant stream of thoughts and worries that plague their mind. Yet, they find respite in a simple act of getting ready to dance, represented by tying their shoes. The mention of the "untie knots" virgin suggests a letting-go of inhibitions and embracing the excitement of going out to dance.
The song emphasizes the joy and pleasure of dancing, capturing the carefree and euphoric experience. The imagery of a wild back, reflecting red lips, is used to describe the singer's excitement and readiness to dance. They mention going to the disco as a way of acknowledging one's star quality or uniqueness when entering the club. The line about making a deal with the gods refers to the feeling of being granted permission to dress up and be oneself.
Overall, "Baila" celebrates the power of dancing as a liberating force, allowing individuals to momentarily escape their troubles and find joy in the present moment. It captures the idea of dancing as a form of self-expression and a way to connect with others, while shedding the weight of daily life.
