A Las Piedras De Belen
Fito Páez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me dijeron que me calle
que no hay mucha más que ver
me dijeron que me vaya
que me deje de joder
Me metieron en un rollo
que al final no se muy bien como se sale
me pregunto en que pensaban
cuando estaban por coger
Que te escupan en la cara
que te duela hoy más que ayer
que te chupen en la cana
que te enseñen a perder
ya no quiero levantarme paranoico
en el medio de la noche.
Ya no quiero que me agarren esta vez.
A la luz de las estrellas
A las piedras de Belén
A las tetas de Gioconda
A los múltiplos de tres
Me dirijo hacia ese punto donde hay algo




y a la vez no existe nada
Me pregunto que otra cosa puedo hacer.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fito Paez's song A Las Piedras De Belen express a sense of frustration and confusion in the face of societal pressures to conform and the feeling of being stuck in a cycle without a clear way out. The singer is told to be quiet and stop bothering others, but doesn't understand how to escape from the situation they're in. The mention of being spat on, feeling pain, and being taken to jail suggests a sense of injustice and mistreatment. However, the singer also expresses a desire to move past this and find something greater. They mention the stars, the stones of Bethlehem, Gioconda's breasts, and multiples of three as they seek out a space where there is both something and nothing.
