Papa
Julian Benjamin Lyrics

The lyrics of Julian Benjamin's song "Papá" are quite evocative and multi-layered. The singer contemplates his existence and the mysteries of the universe with the opening line of "Tengo los ojos abiertos y no me puedo despertar" (I have my eyes open and I can't wake up). He then suggests that someone inside him will call out to him as "Papá" (Dad), perhaps an inner child or a voice of intuition. The singer then mentions a "verso" (verse) that he will justify, possibly referring to a life goal or a creative aspiration. Once again, the inner voice will guide him and call him "Papá".

The lyrics then shift to a more cosmic perspective, referencing the intersection of the seed and the flower as a metaphor for creation and growth. The sun is sustained by love, suggesting a spiritual or emotional dimension to life. The singer acknowledges that there is still much to learn and discover, especially when the union of two people ("uno mas uno") leads to the creation of a third being ("tres"). Finally, the song reaches its emotional climax with the idea that when we bid farewell to this life, someone inside us will call out "Dios" (God) while we call out "Papá". This poignantly encapsulates the human longing for connection and transcendence, and the idea that we are all part of a greater whole.
