Europa
Le Parody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, vieja Europa
Sorda y seca
¿Quién te llorará?

Ay, tu larga cola
Tiñó de vergüenza
El mapa al pasar
Llegará el verano
A tu viejo cuerpo
Desiertas tus manos
Tus ojos desiertos
Polvo serán
De piedra y huesos

Cantarán tus funerales
Los niños sin nombre
Del fondo del mar

¡Ay, desheredadnos!
Cubre el progreso
Los campos de sal

Llegará el verano
A tu viejo cuerpo
Desiertas tus manos
Tus ojos desiertos
No nos veían
No lo dirán





Hemos venío
A hacerlo pasar

Overall Meaning

In the song "Europa," Le Parody laments the current state of Europe, referring to it as "vieja" or old, "sorda y seca" or deaf and dry. The lyrics ask who will mourn for Europe as it slowly fades away. The metaphor of a long tail that leaves behind a trail of shame on the map is used to depict the dark history and various atrocities in Europe's past. The song points out that summer will come to Europe's old body, its hands and eyes will be deserted, while it turns to dust and bones. The song reflects on the bleak future of Europe, where the funeral will be sung by nameless children from the depths of the sea.


Le Parody poses an argument against progress, as it proposes to cover over the fields of salt, and disinherit us from the bleak future by refusing to watch the continent's decay. The phrase "No nos veían, no lo dirán" indicates that Europe did not see or acknowledge the problem while it was happening and won't confess its guilt afterward. The stanza, "Hemos venío a hacerlo pasar" or "We've come to let it pass" implies that the band cannot change the outcome, and Europe will continue to decay.


Overall, "Europa" reveals the sadness for Europe's condition and the unspeakable harm inflicted upon its people. It asks the impossible question of who will mourn for this suffering and acknowledges the guilt and responsibility of its people.
