La Paz
La Sonrisa De Julia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todos buscan el camino
A un lugar llamado Paz
Pero cada uno viaja en un sentido y
Nadie sabe dónde está.
Pero no existe un camino
Que nos lleve a la paz,
La paz es el camino
Todo lo demás son palabras.

En un cruce de caminos enfrentados
Todos dicen dirigirse
A un lugar llamado paz
Pero todos llevan años ya sentados
Sin oír a los demás
Y la paz es un camino
Por donde avanzar
Sólo puede recorrerse




Caminando unidos
Caminando unidos, si!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Paz by La Sonrisa De Julia address the common desire for peace and the many ways people attempt to find it. The song begins by acknowledging that everyone is searching for peace, yet each person is traveling in a different direction and nobody knows where it is. The idea that there is no specific path to peace is reinforced when the lyrics state that "the peace is the way, everything else are just words." This suggests that the journey towards peace is not a straight path, but rather a journey full of twists and turns.


The second verse of the song takes a different approach, highlighting how individuals often become so entrenched in their own beliefs and opinions that they lose sight of the bigger picture. The "crossroads" mentioned in the lyrics signify the point at which people's individual paths converge, yet they all claim to be headed towards the same destination of peace. However, they are not truly listening to one another and working together to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. The message of the song is clear: to achieve true peace, individuals must come together and walk the path as one.


Overall, La Paz is a powerful and thought-provoking song about the importance of solidarity and collective action. It encourages listeners to reevaluate how they approach the pursuit of peace and emphasizes that it is only by working together that we can truly create a world that is safe and harmonious for everyone.
