Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perdiendo el suelo
Te vas sin despedida
Te vas hiriendo el cielo
Te di mi vida
Te amaba tanto
Dragones en el viento
No podía
Y no leía
Las líneas tan heridas
Tatuadas en tu alma
Te vas fugaz
A la eternidad
Dragón, parece un dragón
Tus recuerdos quedaron salpicando fuego
Dragón, parece un dragón
Va salpicando el fuego, va hiriendo el cielo
Dragón, parece un dragón
Tus recuerdos quedaron salpicando fuego
Dragón, parece un dragón
Hiriendo la eternidad
Veneno y penas
Fluyen por tus venas
Sin ti hice un paraíso
Y yo sin darme cuenta
Dolor por dentro
Dragones en el viento
Clavaron sus colmillos
La adicción y el sufrimiento
Te vas fugaz
A la eternidad
Dragón, parece un dragón
Tus recuerdos quedaron salpicando fuego
Dragón, parece un dragón
Va salpicando el fuego, va hiriendo el cielo
Dragón, parece un dragón
Tus recuerdos quedaron salpicando fuego
Dragón, parece un dragón
Hiriendo la eternidad
Te vas fugaz
A la eternidad
Dragón, parece un dragón
La adicción clava sus colmillos en el cuello
Dragón, parece un dragón
Va salpicando el fuego, va hiriendo el cielo
Dragón, parece un dragón
Tus recuerdos quedaron salpicando fuego
Dragón, parece un dragón
Hiriendo la eternidad
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics of Maná's song El dragón address the pain of losing someone we love without being able to comprehend the reasons behind their departure. The first verse depicts the feeling of the loss and how it leaves the singer feeling like his/her life is losing its ground. Along with the sense of abandonment, there's a hint of anger towards the person who left without saying goodbye, hurting not only the singer but also the skies themselves. Even though the singer gave their life to this person and loved them deeply, that love was not enough to withstand the storms that came, symbolized by dragons that blew our enchantment away.
The second verse seems to focus on the pain of seeing someone we love fall into a self-destructive cycle of addiction and sorrow. There's a sense of helplessness in not being able to reach them, but instead watching them go to eternity, leaving behind a trail of destruction and pain. The image of the dragon reappears, but now it's a curse, leaving behing memories that splash fire everywhere they go. They've already hurt the singer and the sky, and now their venom and pain run through their veins, making them a dragon that burn everything they touch.
El dragón is a powerful song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has experienced the pain of losing someone they love, either to physical or emotional distance. The imagery of the dragon adds a mythical dimension to the lyrics, emphasizing the sense of powerlessness we feel in the face of forces that we cannot control. The combination of lyrics and music creates a melancholic and intense atmosphere that enhances the impact of the message.
