Ensueños
La Zurda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me acorde de lo grande de la vida y desperté
Me prepare un te de jengibre y con un saco me abrigue
Pensando que esta noche no vuelva a dormirme otra vez
En un ratito me transporte me imagine en otra
Parte con otro cuerpo,
En otra vida, otro día lunes
Salí a la terraza a mirar las estrellas de mi esquina,
De otras vidas que me invitan
No se si pueda andar con tanta oscuridad
Sobrevolando los destinos sigo así
Y aunque sea hoy no quiero
Volverme de esta vez
Ensueños de esta blanca noche
Que me saco a pasear entre
Planetas y constelaciones
Y otras vías encontré un lugar para quedarme,
Un planeta que no soñé estoy alucinando
No quiero volverme de esta vez, no quiero volver
The lyrics of La Zurda's song Ensueños (Daydreams) describe a moment of spiritual awakening and reflection. The singer recounts how playing the charango (a small Andean guitar) earlier in the day triggered thoughts about the grandness of life. Later, before going to sleep, the singer brewed some ginger tea and wrapped themselves in a coat, thinking that they shouldn't fall asleep again. In this dreamlike state, the singer imagines themselves transported to another place, with a different body and life. They gaze at the stars from their terrace and are intrigued by the notion that they are also suns in other people's lives. The singer acknowledges that they don't know if they can handle so much darkness in their travels, but they persist through their journey of self-discovery, finding a planet that they had never dreamed of before. The final lyrics express a desire to stay in this dream state and not return to reality.
The song's lyrics convey a sense of wonder and contemplation. Through the singer's dreamlike journey, they think about the interconnectedness of all things and their place in the universe. The references to constellations and planets evoke a sense of cosmic vastness, with the singer feeling both small and significant in the grand scheme of things. The lyrics also suggest a longing for escape or transcendence, with the singer resisting the pull of reality in favor of their rich inner world.
