Nieve
Los Chichos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una histora interminable
Se acuestan envenenados
Y se levantan desesperados
Buscando nieve
Ahora unes feliz
Puede reir puede cantar
Soñar la realidad
Amar y ser amado
Y otro sigue enganchado
Como un preso a su cadena
Es como el ave que no vuela
Y necesita de la nieve
Para seguir viviendo

Nieve
Siempre caminando
Entre la nieve
Se te ban a helar
Las venas
Tu mismo te condenas
El corazon
Hacia la muerte
La nieve la escalera
Su amistad no le detiene
Y juan vuelve asu lado
Intenta que lo deje
Pero manuel es muy debil
Y no puede dejarlo
Ahora uno es feliz
Puede reir puede cantar
Soñar la realidad
Amar y ser amado
Y otro sigue enganchado
Como un preso
A una cadena
Es como el ave
Que no vuela
Y necesita de la nieve
Para seguir viviendo

The song "Nieve" by Los Chichos is a Spanish-language ballad that tells the story of two friends who fell into the vicious cycle of drug addiction. The lyrics describe how their addiction started out as an "endless story," but soon turned into a poisonous habit that consumed them. The two friends would go to bed feeling high and wake up feeling desperate, always in search of more "nieve" (snow), which is a slang term for cocaine.
One of the friends was able to break free from their addiction and find happiness, but the other remains hooked on drugs, living like a prisoner to his addiction. The lyrics describe how this addiction is like a chain or a bird that cannot fly without the snow, and how it leads to the slow death of the person's heart.
The song is a poignant commentary on the destructive power of drug addiction and the deadly consequences it can have on individuals and their relationships. It also touches on the themes of love, friendship, and the power of choice.
