Noe
Kiko Veneno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noé, sintió que le mandaban
Que hiciera una nave
Y dentro que guardara
Dos limones y dos cabras
Dos leones y dos pulgas,
Dos liebres y dos tortugas,
Dos cuervos y dos vacas,
Dos escarabajos y dos águilas,
Dos camellos y dos palomas,
Dos perros y dos monos,
Dos gallinas y dos loros,
Dos elefantes y dos jirafas,
Dos lobos y dos moscas,
Dos caballos y dos ranas,
Dos calamares y dos gambas,
Dos cochinos y dos mariposas.

Cuando reunió
Una pareja de cada especie,
Así como alimentos
Para el largo viaje,
Bajó de la nave,
Contó hasta cero y dijo:




Irse,
A ver si ustedes tenéis mejor suerte.

Overall Meaning

The song "Noé" by Kiko Veneno tells the story of Noah, the biblical figure who built an ark and filled it with pairs of animals in order to survive a great flood. The lyrics describe the various animals that Noah is instructed to take with him, ranging from common domesticated creatures to exotic and unlikely pairs. The list of animals shows Noah's obedience to a higher power and his willingness to save as many creatures as possible from the impending destruction.


However, despite his unwavering devotion to the task, when it was time to embark on the journey, Noah knew that he could not control the outcome of the voyage. He counted to zero and then exclaimed "Irse" (go), implying that he was surrendering to fate and hoping for the best. The song highlights the themes of faith, devotion, and acceptance of the unknown.


Overall, Kiko Veneno's song "Noé" reflects on one of the most well-known stories in the Bible in a unique and playful way, using imaginative and whimsical descriptions of the animals that Noah saved to convey deeper meanings.
