El Gran Infierno
Los Estrambóticos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agarrado de tu recuerdo
A la orilla de este gran
Gran infierno
Llevo tanto tiempo pensando
Día a día en un lamento
Que me ahoga en lo obscuro
Estoy llorando de risa
Tirado por q quiero
Que el cielo este en la esquina
Del gran infierno
Chiquitita
Te conocó en la calle
Esperando a nadie y
Hasta me falto el aire
Cuando me miraste así
Son tus ojos de viento
Me deslumbran solos veo
Aún no te conozco
Pero siento que te quiero
Sin darnos cuenta paso
Que juntamos las manos
Caminamos por la calle
Como enamorados
Entonces juramos
Nunca separarnos
Y brindamos por que al fin
Nos habiamos encontrado
Derrepente que suena
Un extraño ruido
Que raro y amanecí aquí
En una cantina
Y tu, tu te habias ido
Llevo tanto tiempo pensando
Que solo fuiste un sueño
Otro de mis inventos
Cuendo me pongo pedo
Me han encontrado
Muriendo agarrado de tu recuerdo
A la orilla de este gran
Gran infierno
The song "El Gran Infierno" by Los Estramboticos tells the story of a man who is struggling with the memories of a past love that left him heartbroken. He sings that he has been found dying, clinging to the memories of this love and on the brink of entering the great hell of his own mind. He has been drowning in his sorrow and desire, unable to find any light in the darkness of his heart.
The man then flashback to a memory of meeting a woman named Chiquitita, who he encountered in the street and instantly fell in love with. Their love was a whirlwind romance, quickly falling for each other and even making promises to never leave each other. However, something strange happens, and he wakes up in a bar, realizing that she has left him. He is torn between the reality of losing her and the illusion of her love that he clings to in his mind.
The song speaks to the pain of lost love and the way it can consume us, leaving us lost and helpless. The man is stuck in a cycle of heartbreak, replaying the past and struggling to find any peace. The lyrics and the somber melody highlight the man's pathos and the depths of his despair.
