Carnaval
F. Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escrito con tiza en una pared.
Eran los muros de mi corazón,
que has hecho tuyo con tu amor,
con tu belleza.
Llegaste con un pasaje de pocos días.
En calidad de visitante, de turista perdida.
la parte de mí que quiere ser
cazador y presa.
Por eso te decía: “chica, no juegues conmigo”.
Por eso mucho antes de empezar ya me tenías.
Y por eso doy gracias cada día a lo que nos unió,
a unos guantes de cuero y un traje de león.
Poco a poco fui quebrando tu fortaleza.
Puse mis cartas en la mesa y esperé respuesta.
Y de repente el mundo entero se hundió,
sólo nos vi a nosotros dos
sobre el universo
Por eso te decía: “chica, no juegues conmigo”.
Por eso mucho antes de empezar ya me tenías.
Y por eso doy gracias cada día a lo que nos unió,
a unos guantes de cuero y un traje de león.
Detrás de una ventana vi tu nombre.
Escrito con fuego en mi corazón.
Y arde cuando me alejo mucho de ti,
desesperado vuelvo a huir
hacia tu encuentro.
Por eso te pedía ir más despacio todavía.
Por si acaso el sendero escondiera nubes de espinas.
Porque todas mis calles ahora derivan de ese carnaval.
Si te marchas mi suerte sin dudarlo irá detrás
de tus guantes de cuero con mi traje de león.
The lyrics to F. Rodriguez's song Carnaval depict a love story between two individuals who have fallen in love with each other despite being from different worlds. The singer of the song describes how he first noticed the woman he loves, seeing her name written on a wall with chalk, which represented the walls of his heart that she had broken down with her love and beauty. The woman initially arrived on a short visit as a tourist, but soon became friends with the singer's adventurous and passionate side that wanted to be both the hunter and the prey.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges how fervently he feels for the woman, but also how much he is scared of being hurt. He acknowledges that he was already smitten with her before they even began their relationship and how grateful he is for the circumstances that brought them together, namely a pair of gloves and a lion's costume. The relationship between the two intensifies until the world around them seems to collapse, leaving only the two of them on the universe. The singer concludes by acknowledging how deeply the woman has made an impact in his life and how he feels lost without her.
Overall, the song Carnaval portrays a passionate and intense love story that transcends differences in personality and background, as well as the fears and uncertainties that come with falling in love.
