Catorce Vidas Son Dos Gatos
Fito Y Fitipaldis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuanto se grito diciendo nada
No pudimos ver con tanta luz
Buscaba el cielo en tu mirada
Y nunca sabre lo que encontraste tú
Que te traigan flores las mañanas
Que no pases noches sin dormir
Que el sueño se pose en tus pestañas
Que uno de esos sueños que me sueñe a mí
Detrás del viento un huracán
Se fue formando en la cabeza
Cuando te cansas de sufrir
Siempre me ves
Mi corazón es de cristal
No guarda nada que no veas
Solo un pequeño resplandor
En nuestra hoguera

Mi canción que nace del fracaso
Es solo una piel sobre una piel
Algo que se besa y sabe amargo
Es mi boca seca nada que beber

Pobre corazón que no sabe q decir
Si te vas por lo que soy o por lo que nunca fui
Hay caminos q hay que andar descalzo
Ya no te preocupes más por mi
Siempre me entra arena en los zapatos
Esta vez me quedo aquí
Si te cabe el cielo en un abrazo
Siempre abra una estrella para ti




Si catorce vidas son dos gatos
Aun queda mucho por vivir

Overall Meaning

The lines "Cuanto se grito diciendo nada/No pudimos ver con tanta luz" refer to the struggles of communication and confusion that often arise in relationships.

The second verse speaks to the pain of heartbreak and the desire for connection. The singer's song comes from his own failures and mistakes, but he hopes that it can still be enough to bring him closer to the one he loves. The lines "Pobre corazón que no sabe q decir/Si te vas por lo que soy o por lo que nunca fui" show that he is aware of his flaws and worries about being loved for who he truly is.


The chorus, "Siempre me ves/Mi corazón es de cristal/No guarda nada que no veas/Solo un pequeño resplandor/En nuestra hoguera", is about the transparency of his emotions and the small light that he brings to their relationship. The final line, "Si catorce vidas son dos gatos/Aun queda mucho por vivir," is a reminder that even though life can be short and unpredictable, there is still so much to experience and enjoy.
