Cosa De Equilibrio
Francis Cabrel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noche y soledad
Como siempre en este bar
Con los pies allá abajo en el polvo
Y la mente niebla y nada más
En cada color te veo a tí
Las curbas de tu piel
En todas las salas de los aeropuertos
Todos los puertos sin playa y sin sol
Solo contigo vibro ya ves
Cosa de equilibrio
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas
Y caígo lejos de tí, lejos de tí
Tan lejos de tí

Con los demás no puede ser
Lo de volverte a ver
No tengo lágrimas para mi cuerpo
Las he dejado en el arroyo
Me estorban los demás
Los que hablan fuerte, hablar por hablar
Y te veo siempre en los escaparates
Y entre las botellas de saden confort
Sólo contigo vibro ya ves
Cosa de equilibrio
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas
Y caígo Iqos de tí, Iejos de tí
Tan lejos de tí

Un nuevo trago y después
Quiero dormir
Intentando estar de nuevo a tu lado
Como antes me abrazabas
Los demás me molestan
Los que hablan fuerte, hablar por hablar
Y te veo siempre en los escaparates
y entre las botellas de saden confort
Solo contigo vibro, ya ves
Cosa de equilibrio
Cuando te vas me cortas las alas




Y caígo lejos de tí, lejos de tí
Tan lejos de tí

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Francis Cabrel's song "Cosa De Equilibrio" portray the feeling of loneliness and longing for someone special. The singer is sitting alone in a bar, with their thoughts clouded in a haze of nothingness. The memory of their lover permeates through different colors and locations, and they feel a deep connection that is a 'cosa de equilibrio' –something that balances them. However, when the lover is gone, they feel like their wings have been clipped, and they fall away from them, far away from them.


The song highlights the singer's struggle to remain balanced without their lover, and how their absence makes them feel desolate and disconnected from the rest of the world. They view everyone else as speaking nonsense, and they crave the company of their lover who brings them peace and balance. The singer's thoughts are consumed with their lover to the point where they see them everywhere, trapped in the patterns of their memory, feeling incomplete without them.


Overall, "Cosa De Equilibrio" is a powerful ode to love and the struggle to balance one's emotions without it. It captures the essence of longing, loneliness, and the hope that true love can bring.
