Los Bunkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Algunos ojos ya eran de la oscuridad
Y huyeron hacia las tinieblas del ayer
Con un puñado de semillas por sembrar
Con un puñado de promesas por crecer
Y amar
Pero salió el sol
Secando el frío nocturnal dando calor
Regocijando al mundo con su prodigar
Irguiendo al viento el poderoso corazón
De amar
Y su luz subió
Saltando las montañas traspasando el mar
Regando el mundo con su cálida verdad
Su cálida razón
Esparciendo la claridad
Como una estación
Era bello el sol
Que se elevaba sobre el mundo siempre mas
Con su destierro de nevadas su canción
Su semillero en jubiloso despertar
Erguido al viento el poderoso corazón
De amar
Y su luz llego
Al reino oscuro a las torres del ayer
Y la cimiente arrebatada de su amor
Sintiose renacer
Al contacto de su calor
Y de su quehacer
Luego al final
A la hora en que se suponía atardecer
Sintieron que la luz quedo en su respirar
Como una sangre de la atmósfera un poder
Un pacto eterno con la claridad solar
The lyrics to Los Bunkers’s “Leyenda” describe the transformative power of light and the sun. The song begins at dawn, where some people still have the darkness of the night in their eyes and have retreated to the shadows of the past, carrying with them a handful of seeds to sow and promises to fulfill. But as the sun rises and spreads its warmth and light across the earth, it brings with it the capacity to love and the power to transform.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to describe the sun’s journey across the world, as it dries the coldness of the night, jumps over mountains, and reaches the dark kingdom and the towers of the past. The sun’s warmth and clarity cause a rejuvenation, a rebirth of love, and a renewal of life. The final stanza suggests that the power of the sun is eternal, with its light remaining in the breath of those affected by it like a bloodline or an everlasting treaty with the solar clarity.
Overall, the song speaks of the transformative and unifying power of the sun and its ability to heal the past and inspire new beginnings.
