El Romano
Los Cafres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la coraza es de frio hierro como su corazon
jamas se para a mirar
todo lleva por delante
ooo
hay q alejarse
ni por su espada por su espada
nunca me veran rendido
el romano con su carroza pretende dejar su marca
uuooo
pero sus ruedas no haran, no
huella en mi pensamiento nooo
el romano con su carroza pretende dejar su marca
uoooo uooo
su coraza es de frio hierro como su corazon
jamas se para a mirar
todo lleva por delante, si uoooi uoooi
a los gritos su discurso
viene de la torre mas alta
ni con todo su oro mi alma comprar, siii
la vedad es mi unica posecion
ya no quiero soportar
el ruido de su marcha, noo noo nooo!!
The song "El Romano" by Los Cafres speaks about a Roman soldier who is determined to make his mark on the world by leaving a legacy through his deeds. He moves forward relentlessly, with a heart as cold as the iron of his armor, without stopping to look back. He wants to leave his mark on everything he encounters, but the singer of the song sees him pass by without leaving a trace in his mind.
The song describes the Roman soldier as someone who is driven by his desire to leave a legacy, but for the singer, his intention is not significant. He wants to distance himself from the soldier's energy and enthusiasm because he sees it as destructive and disruptive. The song explores the idea that true happiness and peace come not from worldly success and achievements but from internal values of truth and integrity, qualities that the Roman soldier seems to lack.
Overall, "El Romano" by Los Cafres is a commentary on the futility of achieving success and leaving a legacy if it is not rooted in authentic values and principles. The Roman soldier represents the dangers of prioritizing material gain over internal growth and personal well-being.
