Sacudirán
La Covacha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te fuiste y al caminar
Apareciste en un tiempo
En q no pediste entrar.
Asi te pario esta vida
Como queriendo jugar
Te metieron en el baile
Sin enseñarte a bailar.
Y te echaste a correr
Cansado de caminar,
Saliste a abrigar un sueño
Q no querias cambiar.
Te sacudiran hasta caer
Pero vos sabes
Volver a empezar.
Vas andando los caminos
Q elegiste andar.
Se van abriendo senderos
Q invitan a andar.
Q van a estallar.
Q vana estallar.
Paciencia increible
Tuviste q hallar.
Paciencia de muchos
Q esperan aca.
Corazones locos
Q invitan a andar.
Corazones rotos
Q encienden las almas
Q van a estallar.
Q van a estallar.
Y te echaste a correr
Cansado de caminar,
Saliste a abrigar un sueño
Q no querias cambiar.
Te sacudiran hasta caer
Pero vos sabes
Volver a empezar.
Vas andando los caminos
Q elegiste andar.
Se van abriendo senderos
Q invitan a andar.
Q van a estallar.
Q van a estallar.
Q van, q van, q van.
The lyrics to La Covacha's "Sacudirán" speak of the struggles and challenges of life, particularly for someone who never asked to be a part of it. The lyrics personify life itself, as if it were a mother who gave birth to someone and forced them to join in the dance of life without giving them any guidance or teaching them how to dance. The song acknowledges that life can be tough, and it will shake you until you fall, but the singer(s) encourage the listener to have the strength to get back up and keep going.
The second half of the song seems to be about the journey through life and how one must choose their path but also be patient as the path will reveal itself. The lyrics mention walking on paths that one has chosen and how new paths and opportunities will reveal themselves, leading to a personal revolution. The phrase "Q van a estallar" repeated several times in the chorus, can be interpreted as the realization that life has its limits, and it can't continue in a certain way forever. At some point, things need to explode to move forward, and the only way forward is through embracing the unavoidable changes.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sacudirán" are profound, acknowledging that life can be difficult, but with resilience, patience, and inner strength, it is possible to endure and thrive in challenging times.
