Vale
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arrojarse por pena o desesperación
No jugar a arrojarse, arrojarse mi amor
Arrojarse en el nombre
De esta puta nación
Cuando no hay mas lugares de dónde escapar
Cuando sólo se busca ese signo vital
Tu cadáver, las moscas y el enterrador
Vale, salta y cae de espalda
Salta nueve pisos, caes en el agua
Vale, nadie tiene calma
Todo vale todo, todo vale nada
Sos el ciego que ve lo que el tuerto jamás
El fusible en la casa, que está por saltar
Sos el king, sos el size, de la velocidad
Sos el nene perdido buscando a mamá
Acabás siempre preso, preso por amor
Una llama que sangra con luz de dolor
Me la paso pensando, y vos iluminás
Sos tan insoportable como la verdad
Vale, salta y cae de espalda
Salta nueve pisos, caes en el agua
Vale, nadie tiene calma
Todo vale todo, todo vale nada
Vale, salta y cae de espalda
Saltas nueve pisos, caes en el agua
Vale, nunca tenés calma
Todo vale todo, todo vale nada
Vale
Busqué, salí, peleé, viví, salté, por tí
La piel, el fin
No busques nada mas de lo que ves en mi
Vale, vale, vale, vale
The lyrics of Fito Paez's song Vale describe the act of throwing oneself into the void as a mission, either out of shame or desperation, regardless of the consequences. The song talks about jumping into the void as a way of escaping from a life that has lost its meaning, when everything else has been experienced and nothing else is left to live for. The lyrics are full of metaphors, describing the act of jumping into the void as a way of finding oneself again, of escaping from a mundane existence and finding a new purpose in life. The chorus is the repeating of the word vale, which can be interpreted as "it's worth it" or "okay", as if to justify the act of jumping.
The lyrics of Vale are full of introspection and self-reflection, as if the singer is talking to himself. He describes himself as a person who is lost and looking for a way out of a life that has become meaningless. His use of metaphors and deep introspection makes the song very emotional and relatable. The song also talks about the conflicting nature of the human condition - how we can be both strong and weak, brave and scared, and how we constantly need to find ways to keep moving forward.
