Teléfono de la esperanza
Klaus & Kinski Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si crees que no te puedes levantar,
y no quieres vivir,
yo no te animo.

Si ya no puede ser peor,
y te quieres matar,
pues yo te ayudo.
Marca el número.

Es un momento sólo,
un brillante destello.

Piensa que todo va a cambiar
cuando un millón de estrellas
se vayan a veranear.

Así que ya,
por fin podrás decir
que bien se pasa aquí,
ya no me quejo.

Y si te tiembla el pulso y
no quieres ni mirar,
pues yo te ayudo
Oh oh oh.

Yo te puedo ayudar.
Yo te puedo empujar.

Así que ya,
por fin podrás decir
que bien se pasa aquí,
ya no me quejo.

Y si te tiembla el pulso y
no quieres ni mirar,

pues yo te ayudo.
Oh oh oh.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klaus & Kinski's song "Teléfono de la esperanza" suggest that if someone is feeling too low to get up or live their life, the singer will not encourage them to do so. However, if someone feels like their life cannot get any worse, and they are considering suicide, the singer is willing to help them. The singer asks them to call the phone number, which appears to be that of a suicide prevention hotline. The singer tells them that it is just a moment, a small spark, and that they should think about the beauty of the world that will still exist even when they feel that everything around them has fallen apart. The chorus says that they will be able to finally say that they are enjoying their life and they don't complain anymore because the singer is there to help them.

The song's message is poignant and an encouraging voice for those who feel that their life is too difficult to go on. The lyrics talk about the struggles that people face and the hopelessness that they feel in trying to face their problems. The words "yo te puedo ayudar" (I can help you) are used repeatedly, emphasized by the catchy chorus in the track. The song acts as a reminder that there is always a way out and that someone is available to help them when they need it the most. The song is an uplifting message to those slowly finding themselves in a dark place, and the lyrics show them a way out to keep going.
