Te Pido La Noche
Los Caños Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baile la danza de los enemigos
Castigos a olvidar
Prefiero andar a subir escaleras
Si llevan al cielo y alli no me esperas
Rompi una lanza a favor de los besos
Tropiezos a olvidar
Que la verdad cabe con la mentira
Quererte sabras que jamas se olvida

Que me pierdo en tu locura
De ventura y desventura
Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Yo pido otro dia de amor y fortuna
Me pides cordura volviendome loco
Yo corro a besar tu piel poquito a poco
Poquito a poco aprendi que el pasado
Me ha dado lo que soy
Y lo que soy quiero serlo a tu lado
Todo te dare nada me he guardado

Que me pierdo en tu locura
De ventura y desventura

Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Yo pido otro dia de amor y fortuna
Me pides cordura volviendome loco
Yo corro a besar tu piel poquito a poco
Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Yo pido otro dia de amor y fotuna
Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Me
Pides cordura volviendome loco
Yo corro a besar tu piel poquito a poco

Te pido la noche me bajas la luna
Te pido la noche me bajas la luna.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Caños's song Te Pido La Noche are a plea for love and passion. The first stanza talks about dancing the dance of enemies, forgetting punishments, and preferring to walk rather than climb stairs that don't lead to heaven where the lover is not waiting. The singer then declares that they choose to break a lance in favor of the kisses, forgetting stumbles, and acknowledging that truth fits with lies. The song expresses that love is unforgettable, and the singer gets lost in their lover's madness of fortune and misfortune. The chorus repeats the line "Te pido la noche me bajas la luna," which translates to "I ask you for the night, you lower the moon for me," conveying the idea of an intense, passionate love that seems to happen only at night. The second verse talks about learning that the past gives us what we are, and the singer wants to be with their lover forever while offering everything they have.
