Gondwana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la calle mojada
ibas corriendo a la f�brica
donde trabajaba Manuel
La sonrisa ancha, la lluvia en el pelo
no importaba nada
es que ibas a encontrarte, con el
Son cinco minutos, la vida es eteeerna
en cinco minutos
suena la sirena, devuelta al trabajo
y tu caminando lo iluminas todo
los cinco minutos, te hacen florecer
Te recuerdo Amanda
la calle mojada
ibas corriendo a la f�brica
donde trabajaba Manuel
La sonrisa ancha, la lluvia en el pelo
no importaba nada
es que ibas a encontrarte, con el
con el, con el, con el, con eel
Que parti� a la sierra
que nunca hizo da�o y que parti� a la sierra
y en cinco minutos, quedo destrozado
suena la sirena, devuelta al trabajo
muchos no volvieron, tampoco Manuel
Con el, con el, con el, con el, con eel,
son cinco minutos, la vida es eteeerna
en cinco minutos
Suena la sirena, devuelta al trabajo
y tu caminando, lo iluminas todo
los cinco minutos, te hacen florecer
Te recuerdo Amanda (x7)
The song "Te Recuerdo Amanda" by Gondwana is a tribute to the workers' struggle and is specifically about a union worker named Manuel who dies in the line of duty. The singer of the song, Amanda, is depicted running through the rain to meet Manuel outside of the factory where they both work. The lyrics emphasize her dedication and love for Manuel, as well as her bravery in the face of danger. Despite the risks, Amanda is unafraid to chase after love and the possibility of a better life, even if it's just for five minutes.
The lyrics also focus on the fleeting nature of life, and how five minutes can make all the difference in the world. This is reinforced by the repetition of "son cinco minutos, la vida es eterna" ("it's five minutes, life is eternal"), emphasizing the idea that time is relative and that moments of happiness can make a lifetime worth living. The tragic turn in the lyrics comes when Manuel is killed in the mountains, leaving Amanda alone and heartbroken. The final repetition of "te recuerdo Amanda" ("I remember you, Amanda") highlights the importance of memory and the power of love to transcend death.
Overall, "Te Recuerdo Amanda" is a poignant tribute to the struggles, sacrifices, and loves of working people, reminding us of the timeless human values that transcend borders and cultures.
