Madagascar
Estelares Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Hace dos horas que espero sentado aqui en la nube de madagascar
hace dos horas que llevo esperando a la chica del salto mortal
me hace una mueca justo al llegar
infla su blusa, me pide más...

Hace dos días que veo toda esta gente hermosa cruzar el umbral
van saludándose todos va riéndose ella del salto mortal
(ya esta acá) me hace una mueca, ríe al llegar,

infla su blusa, me pide más...y le digo:

Oh mi amor, sí mi amor
yo sé que voy a hacerte más feliz
hoy lo haré, sí por vos
estoy acostumbrándome a vivir...

Ya estoy curado de espanto, he mordido el asfalto y no quiero más
estoy cantándote un tema, vos preciosa tan llena, siempre pides más
( ya está acá ) ya estoy bien listo, ya estoy ""curao""
me tira un beso, me pide más... y le digo:

Oh mi amor, sí mi amor
yo sé que voy a hacerte más feliz
hoy lo haré, sí, por vos
estoy acostumbrándome a vivir

Oh mi amor, sí mi amor...

( ya está acá ) ya estoy bien listo, ya estoy ""curao""
infla su blusa, me pide mas... y le digo:

Oh mi amor, sí mi amor!
yo sé que voy a hacerte más feliz
hoy lo haré, es por vos
estoy acostumbrándome a vivir!

Oh mi amor, sí mi amor
yo sé que voy a hacerte más feliz

Hoy lo haré, sí por vos!

(yo sé que voy a hacerte mas feliz).

The passage of time is emphasized with the repetition of "hace dos horas" (two hours ago) and "hace dos días" (two days ago). The singer is specifically waiting for "la chica del salto mortal" (the girl of the mortal leap), a person who seems to captivate their attention and arouse their curiosity.

The lyrics further describe the arrival of this person, who makes a gesture and inflates her blouse, demanding more attention. The singer expresses their willingness to make this person happier and adapt to their way of life. The repetition of "me pide más" (she asks for more) suggests a desire for more connection, attention, or love. The singer responds by saying they know they can make this person happier and they are getting used to living in this way, specifically for them.

The mention of being "curado de espanto" (cured of astonishment) and having "mordido el asfalto" (bitten the asphalt) indicates that the singer has overcome fear or hesitation in their pursuit of this person. They are determined to sing a song for this person, who is described as precious and always wanting more. The phrase "ya está acá" (already here) indicates that this person has finally arrived.

Again, the singer expresses their commitment to making this person happier and becoming accustomed to living in a way that pleases them. The repetition of "me pide más" suggests a continuous desire for more from this person. The lyrics conclude with the affirmation that the singer knows they can make this person happier and they are willing to do so.
