Sinfonia
Mägo de Oz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que hace mucho, mucho tiempo
El tiempo se escurre por el olvido
Existía un violinista que hizo un pacto con el diablo
A cambio de que este, le silbara entre sueños
Exquisitas melodías para una nueva ópera
A cambio el diablo tomaría su alma en el momento de su muerte
Y junto con otros músicos malditos
Cuentan los escritos que quien consigue verlos
Lo que es más inquietante
Quien consigue escuchar dicha obra
Quedará maldito para siempre
Y su pasará a ser propiedad del rey de las mentiras
Esta se llamó sinfonía
Diabulus In ópera
The lyrics of Mägo de Oz's song "Sinfonía" tell a story from old writings about a violinist who made a pact with the devil. According to the legends, a long time ago, time slipped away into oblivion, and this violinist approached the devil with an offer. In exchange for the devil whistling his sweet melodies in his dreams, the violinist asked for exquisite melodies for a new opera. However, the devil had a condition: he would take the violinist's soul at the moment of his death. Alongside other cursed musicians, they would descend into the underworld, playing these cursed chords.
The song emphasizes the consequences of being enticed by the devil's pact. It warns that those who see these musicians or hear their work will be forever cursed. Their souls will belong to the king of lies, forever trapped in his possession. The symphony, named "Diabulus In ópera," represents the tempting allure of the devil's offer and the eternal consequences it brings.
Overall, "Sinfonía" serves as a cautionary tale about making deals with the devil and the everlasting curse that follows.
