Carnaval
La Unión Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apunto está para la fiesta
mi disfraz de carnaval
espero que también el tuyo sea igual.
El círculo lleno de risas
entre humo y luz de gas
en medio de la gente estaba tu antifaz.
Fue tu voz tan suave como un secreto
es tu voz es la huella que quedó.
Caras ciegas, piel desnuda
esa noche tú me diste luz de luna
sin decir adiós, mañana es carnaval.
Un año pasa en un momento
y el misterio sigue ahí
si alguien habla de Febrero
pienso en ti.
Fue tu voz tan suave como un secreto
es tu voz es la huella que quedó.
Caras ciegas pile desnuda




esa noche tú me diste luz de luna
sin decir adiós.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of La Unión's song "Carnaval" describe the excitement and anticipation leading up to a carnival celebration. The singer is dressed up in a costume and hopes that the person they are talking to is also dressed up. The carnival is depicted as a circle filled with laughter, smoke, and the flicker of gas lights. In the midst of the crowd, the singer sees the other person's mask, and their voice is described as being as gentle as a secret. The encounter fills the singer with a sense of magic and mystery, as if they have been given moonlight by the other person. The passage of time only intensifies these feelings, and the singer can't help but think of the other person whenever February rolls around.


The song uses carnival as a backdrop for a romantic encounter, but it also taps into the larger cultural significance of carnival. Across many different countries and cultures, carnival is a time of festivity, excess, and revelry. It is often associated with a temporary suspension of society's norms, allowing people to let loose and engage in behavior that might not be acceptable at other times of the year. In this sense, carnival can be seen as a kind of escape from everyday life, a time to experience something beyond the ordinary. The lyrics of "Carnaval" capture this sense of temporary liberation, as two people come together in a moment of joy and abandon, knowing that it will only last for a little while.
