Transfiguraciones
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
partido por tres,
tres tiempos que me dividen
en pasado, futuro y
hoy
o
yoh teh amoh
y bajo a tu sustantivo:
por tres.
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son
Primer parto:
Lo Uno se rompió
y Di vino a ser.
Aquí empieza el Verso.
Desde entonces
el Universo es Di verso.
Segunda parte:
non, impar, transgresor
de sí mismo.
Persigue el hombre
la Unidad
en su ecuación imposible.
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son
Muda la cara
y quieto el paisaje
en el amor,
conocer por qué tú
no eres yo.
Yo que sin ti no soy.
Celeste pasión del verbo único
así en el cielo como en el infierno,
amor cambiamos, amor.
Transfigúrate...
The lyrics to Luis Eduardo Aute's song Transfiguraciones are poetical and deep, exploring the different facets and meanings of love and unity. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer ascends to the realm of the Verb, divided into three parts that represent the past, the future, and the present. The play on words between "hoy" (today) and "yoh teh amoh" (I love you) hints at the idea that love transcends time and space, and can unite different dimensions of existence.
In the second stanza, the singer descends from the Verb into the realm of the Noun, embodied by the word "Amor" (Love), multiplied by three, perhaps in reference to the trinity or the multiple forms that love can take. The imperative "Transfigúrate" (Transfigure yourself) repeats throughout the song, urging the listener to transform into three, which is the number that represents unity and completion in many cultures. The third stanza introduces the idea of the First Birth, or the creation of the Universe, as a result of the breaking of the One and the emergence of the Many. From this moment on, the Verse becomes the vehicle of expression, and the Universe becomes a Di-Verse, full of possibilities and meanings.
The fourth stanza explores the idea of the Second Birth, or the quest for unity and wholeness in humanity, which is often hindered by our own limitations and imperfections. The man pursues the Unity through an impossible equation, but perhaps the answer lies in the transfiguration of oneself and the acceptance of the diversity of others. The final stanza brings together the themes of the song in a celebration of love, which can transform us and our reality if we allow it to. The "celeste pasión" (heavenly passion) can be experienced both in the "cielo" (heaven) and the "infierno" (hell), as love defies all boundaries and classifications.

The face changes, and the landscape becomes still in love, to understand why you are not me. I am nothing without you. The celestial passion of the unique verb, as in heaven as in hell, we exchange love, we exchange love.
