Tal Vez
Jahsta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tal vez hubo armas de destrucción masiva
Tal vez existe lo del eje del bien y el mal
Tal vez hubo que bombardear Irak
Tal vez hubo que bombardear Afganistan
Tal vez el enemigo fuese el comunismo
Tal vez hubo que usar el .... en Vietnam
Tal vez las pistolas puedan salvar vidas
Tal vez sea normal matar gente en la silla
Tal vez la guerra sea un medio de paz
O tal vez, tal vez, tal vez, nos intentan engañar

Tal vez vivo en un mundo
En el que nada es como lo ves
Quizas estoy soñando y lo veo todo del reves
Puede que otros miren a otro lado por su interes
Pero yo no soy tonto y lo que quieren es :
Dominar el cielo, la tierra y el mar,
Tu casa, la mia y el espacio sideral
Que seamos el rebaño ideal
Que demos las gracias si no llevan a matar
Que no preguntemos mas por sus negocios
Que tengamos miedo de todo y de todos
Que parezca que ellos nos sacan del hoyo
Que contribuyamos para arreglarles el choyo yo

Por eso canto, canto, canto
Y denuncio al alto mando, mando, mando
Y digo que están matando tanto, tanto




Que no puedo estar cayado
No puedo soportarlo (x2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jahsta's song "Tal Vez" are a commentary on the state of the world today and the various conflicts that have occurred throughout history. The song starts by exploring the idea that there may have been weapons of mass destruction, and that perhaps the concept of good and evil in the world is not as clear-cut as it is often presented. Jahsta questions whether the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were necessary, and whether the enemy in Vietnam was truly communist. He then goes on to suggest that maybe guns can save lives, and that killing people in the electric chair is somehow acceptable.


The chorus shifts to a more personal reflection, with Jahsta wondering if he is living in a world where nothing is what it seems. He suggests that perhaps he is dreaming, and that other people may be looking the other way for their own interests. He then rails against those in power who seek to dominate everything from the sky to the sea, and who want people to be complacent and grateful for not being killed. Despite acknowledging the overwhelming power of those in charge, Jahsta refuses to be silent and speaks out against the destruction and violence he sees.
