Las Cosas Que He Visto
Eros Ramazzotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He visto niños que no van a la escuela
He visto vida una vida tan dura metida
En un saco como simple basura
He visto el aire enrojecer en segundos
La tierra sedienta en varias partes del mundo
Y no hace tanto que yo olvido que existo
Coro:
Solo quiero que en torno mi la gente sea sincera
Mucho mas aya de nuestra edad, ideología o bandera
Solo quiero que si sabemos dar la cara
Termine aquí se acaben de pronto
Las cosas que he visto
He visto el cielo oscurecer en instantes
Cubrirse de gris por una nube gigante
He visto el agua que se tiñe de sangre
Y pueblos enteros que se mueren de hambre
Coro:
Solo quiero que en torno mi la gente que nos manda
Sepa lo que hacer que al parecer no saben donde andan
//solo quiero que la juventud futura no tenga que ver en televisión
Las cosas que he visto//
Yo mismo digo que la suerte esta echada
Hay que luchar dejar las buenas palabras
Si quieres que acabe que termine en horror
Y pienso que solo puede hacerlo el amor
The lyrics of Eros Ramazzotti’s song Las Cosas Que He Visto speak about the harsh realities of the world that the singer has witnessed. It begins with the powerful and emotional realization of the loneliness in the world, where there are people who age alone and children who are not able to go to school. The portrayal of life as tough and cruel is exemplified in the line, “I have seen life such a tough life, crammed like simple garbage in a bag”. The singer then goes on to describe the effects of climate change, the polluted environment and the scarcity of water, which is a common issue in many parts of the world. There are also references to poverty and hunger, where entire villages are dying of starvation, and the water that turns red with blood.
However, amidst all the chaos that he has seen, the chorus sets a positive and hopeful message where he wishes that people are sincere and more accepting of each other despite differences in ideologies and beliefs. The singer yearns that strides are made towards a better future where people in power realize what they need to do and that future generations do not have to witness the same trials he has seen. The lyrics evoke a sense of empathy and humanity towards those who are struggling in life, and the singer reminds listeners to fight for a better world with love as the only tool to make a difference.
