Los Mil Jinetes employ trippy vocal harmonies and splendorous vivid instrumentation, all adding up to cacophonous depth and occasionally, layers of pure hippy magic.

Tú Tranquila
Los Mil Jinetes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bien al fondo
Sabemos los dos que tú lo sabes
Bien al fondo
Tú y yo sabemos que lo sé
En lo hondo
El agua es cristalina
En lo hondo
No aguantas la presión, no puedo respirar, ya me explota la cabeza

Al volver, no digas nada todo está bien
Al volver, sigue mi ritmo
Mírame bien los pies, ya lo ves
Pareciera que no hay patrón
Pero solo hay repetición
Una y otra vez la misma vuelta
Siempre alrededor del sol ¡dale!
Yo conmigo
Problemático pero liviano
Yo conmigo
Sin testigo ni registro
En piadosa relación
Sin certeza
Sin caldo de cabeza
A mí mismo
No me doy explicaciones
Perfecto desconocido

Con el que comparto cama

Escribe su biografía
Con ojos cerrados

Luego con el codo borra
Lo que escribe con la mano

Escribe su biografía
Con ojos cerrados
Luego con el codo borra
Lo que escribe con la mano

Al volver, no digas nada todo está bien
Al volver, sigue mi ritmo
Mírame bien los pies, ya lo ves
Pareciera que no hay patrón
Ni señales del capataz

Una y otra vez la misma vuelta
Siempre alrededor del sol

Overall Meaning

The song "Tú Tranquila" by Los Mil Jinetes revolves around a relationship that seems to be full of secrets and hidden truths. The song implies that both parties are aware of the complexities of their relationship, as highlighted by the lines "Sabemos los dos que tú lo sabes" and "Tú y yo sabemos que lo sé". The reference to the deep and crystalline water is a metaphor for their relationship, which is transparent and clear, but also vulnerable to pressure and tension. The singer expresses their frustration and inability to cope with this tension, as he cannot breathe, and his head feels like it is exploding.

The second verse is a description of the singer's personal struggle as he reflects on his life choices and actions. He seems to be content with his solitude, and he does not feel the need to explain himself to anyone. However, he seems to be in a relationship with someone, which makes it a bit ambiguous whether he is talking to himself or his partner in the second verse. He describes writing his own biography with his eyes closed and then erasing it before anyone can read it, signifying his reluctance to reveal himself fully to anyone, even to himself.

The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing how everything seems to be repeating in a cycle, with no clarity or direction, indicated by the lack of a pattern or capataz (boss). Overall, the song expresses a sense of ambiguity and complexity in relationships, suggesting that there may be many layers and hidden truths beneath the surface.
