Un Lugar
Kapanga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es otro día carente de sentido
Y me colgué a caminar
Por ese atajo va mi destino
Y solo no lo puedo dejar
Hay un loco, hay siete perros
Tengo tiempo para divagar
Y si tengo alguna historia
Tomo un vino con el mar
Hay un lugar, Hay un lugar
Hay un lugar, hay un lugar
Y si mañana me espera otra mañana
Ya no es problema, ya no cuentan las semanas
No me persigo
Estoy saldando cuentas conmigo
Hay un loco, hay siete perros
Tengo tiempo para divagar
Y si tengo alguna historia
Tomo un vino con el mar
Hay un lugar, Hay un lugar
Hay un lugar, hay un lugar
Soy un loco, soy un perro




Tengo tiempo para divagar
Y si tengo alguna historia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kapanga's song Un lugar describe the mundane day-to-day life of the singer. He feels lost and without direction, wandering aimlessly through his days. He mentions a shortcut that he takes to his supposed destiny, but it seems that he cannot leave this path behind. He speaks of encountering a madman and seven dogs, giving him ample time to contemplate life. The singer seems to be at peace with his circumstances and even enjoys moments where he can share a wine with the sea.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Hay un lugar" (There's a place) four times, each time seeming to emphasize different aspects of the location. The singer seems to suggest that this place may be a metaphor for something he is searching for, or it may be a physical place he has yet to discover. In the second verse, the singer seems to have made peace with his state of being. He mentions that even if tomorrow brings a similar day, it will no longer be a problem, and the weeks won't matter. He does not let the mundanity of his life consume him, but rather he is settling things within himself.


The lyrics to Un lugar have a certain poetic quality to them, as they suggest that even in the dreariest of days, there is something worth discovering. The song encourages listeners to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life, even if they feel meaningless at first.
