Mundo enfermo
La Fuga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se ha roto el mar
Ahora, ¿con quién vamos a jugar?
Mundo enfermo terminal.
Busco una flor
Que me enseñe su color
Dime, al menos, que regresarás
La envidia rige el corazón
El poderoso engorda en su sillón
Y yo sudando solo en el colchón
Me arrancaste una ilusión.
Ojalá no salga el sol
Ojalá no salga el sol
Me ha contado la luna
Que ahora brilla de prestado,
Tiene el corazón contaminado.
Soy un zorro ¡ mátame!
Arráncame la piel y vístete.
El hombre en su camino hacia la evolución
Ha perdido la razón.
The song "Mundo enfermo" by La Fuga talks about the brokenness of the world and the turmoil it has caused in people's lives. The opening lines "Se ha roto el sol, Se ha roto el mar" (The sun is broken, the sea is broken) describe a world in chaos, and the question "Ahora, ¿con quién vamos a jugar?" (Now, who are we going to play with?) highlights the loneliness and isolation felt in such a world. The title of the song "Mundo enfermo terminal" (Terminal sick world) captures the despair and hopelessness of their outlook.
The lyrics also delve into the personal struggles of the singer, who is trying to find hope amidst the chaos. The lines "Busco una flor, que me enseñe su color, Dime, al menos, que regresarás" (I'm looking for a flower that will show me its color, Tell me at least that you'll come back) convey the search for something or someone to hold onto, to bring some relief in their troubled life. The verse "La envidia rige el corazón, El poderoso engorda en su sillón, Y yo sudando solo en el colchón, Me arrancaste una ilusión" (Envy rules the heart, The powerful fattens in their seat, And I, sweating alone on the mattress, You tore away an illusion) highlights the inequalities prevalent in society and the frustration felt by the less fortunate.
Overall, "Mundo enfermo" is a song that reflects the challenging reality of life, a world that's far from perfect, and where it's easy to lose hope. The lyrics offer a critical commentary on the corrupt society and a call to rise above the chaos and find meaning and hope in one's struggles.
