Arcoiris en un ojo
Guiye Frayo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tengo un arcoiris
clavado en un ojo
en ese ojo lo tengo atorado
ya no veo ni rojo, ni verde, ni azul
ahora veo todo dorado...
(loco, el dorado es un color?)
(y los pececitos que onda?)
(bah! que se yo!)

Con mi arcoiris veo cosas extrañas
lo llevo puesto a todos lados
yo que siempre quise conocer las estrellas
y ahora tengo mi cielo privado...
(privado?)
(privado de que?)

Que pensás no se pero yo estoy contento
cuando estoy triste veo todo azulado
si me enfurezco el mundo está rojo
si estoy felíz hasta el mar es rosado...
(y ...)
(y si me lo hago ver?)

Es un secreto lo que les cuento ahora
el arcoiris del que estámos hablando

no lo compré ni lo encontré tirado
una noche siniestra me lo clavó un marciano...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Guiye Frayo's song "Arcoiris en un ojo" discuss the experience of having a rainbow stuck in one's eye. The singer describes how they no longer see regular colors like red, green, or blue, but instead everything appears golden. They also explain that this rainbow allows them to see unusual things, including a private sky filled with stars. The singer finds comfort in this rainbow, as it changes colors according to their emotions. For example, when they're sad, everything looks blue, but when they're happy, the sea even appears pink.

The lyrics are symbolic and likely represent the experience of seeing the world differently or feeling an intense emotion that changes one's perception of reality. The rainbow may be a metaphor for something beautiful or even mystical that has become a part of the singer's being. They also suggest that the rainbow was not something they sought out but rather a strange occurrence that may have been bestowed upon them by a martian.

Overall, "Arcoiris en un ojo" is a surreal and imaginative song that encourages the listener to embrace new perspectives and find joy in unexpected places.
