El mapa
Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Largo es el camino
Oscuro el mapa del viajero que otea el horizonte

Parece tan cansado
Tantos cambios en el mapa que había dibujado

Pesan más que mi equipaje el dolor y la tristeza
El porqué de este viaje

Dejando atrás el valle
Aparecerá el pantano siempre tan callado





Pesan más que mi equipaje el dolor y la tristeza
El porqué de este viaje

Overall Meaning

The song "El mapa" by Family speaks about the struggles and difficulties of a traveler on their journey. The opening lines, "Largo es el camino, oscuro el mapa del viajero que otea el horizonte" (The road is long, dark is the map of the traveler who scans the horizon), suggest that the traveler is feeling lost and uncertain about their path. They seem tired, and the changes in the map they had previously drawn are overwhelming them. The lines "Pesan más que mi equipaje el dolor y la tristeza, el porqué de este viaje" (Pain and sadness weigh heavier than my luggage, the reason for this journey) reveal that the traveler is carrying a heavy emotional burden, and the purpose of their journey is not entirely clear to them.


As the traveler leaves the valley, they encounter a quiet swamp, which could possibly represent an obstacle or challenge in their path. The line "Aparecerá el pantano siempre tan callado" (The swamp will appear, always so quiet) conveys a sense of foreboding, implying that even though the swamp seems peaceful, it holds its own dangers.


Overall, "El mapa" is a poignant song about a traveler struggling to find their way, both physically and emotionally. It speaks to universal truths about the challenges we face in life and the importance of perseverance and courage.
