Matutina
Fernando Delgadillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
campana que a esta de
la mañana ya se fija en él
reloj oigo al viento que sopla
ligero y oigo el estruendoso
vuelo pasajero de un avión.
Oigo como pasa la vecina
y a lo lejos un motor.
Con el que imaginó una
ventana que creció junto a
mi cama cuando el sueño
me venció.
Oigo un perro ladrando
distante y revoloteos
constantes de unos pájaros
que están siempre dispután-
dose las ramas como todas
las mañanas y anunciando
que se irán.
Oigo y lo que oigo me
rodea.
y oigo junto a mí la idea
de que tengo que salir
a ser parte de esta algarabía
que al menos por este día
todavía se deja o'r.
Oigo un sin fin de ruidos
urbanos que quizás por
cotidianos nunca llaman mi
atención oigo todo lo que
siempre he o'do y en la
almohada oigo el latido
de mi propio corazón.
In Fernando Delgadillo's song "Matutina", he describes the sounds of a morning and how they surround him. He starts by hearing the chiming of a bell that signals the start of the day, followed by the gentle blowing of the wind and the roar of a passing airplane. As he listens, he also hears the sounds of his neighbors as they sing while walking and the distant barking of a dog, along with the constant chirping of birds that argue over the branches. All these sounds create a cacophony of urban noises that surround him, and he feels compelled to leave his bed to be part of this lively scene.
Through these lyrics, Delgadillo captures the essence of the different sounds that come together to create a morning. The sounds represent the chaos and constant movement of the world around us, as well as our need to be part of it. The song suggests that we should embrace these sounds and appreciate them as a part of our lives, as they bring a sense of purpose and belonging.
