El Espejo
Maná (Vgroupnetwork.com) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si era vida de regreso
El espejo seductor en su reflejo lo tenía que cruzar
Lo toco con la punta de miedo
Que se hunde en el mercurio, del cristal
Lo cruzo y lo dejo a mis espaldas
No hay regreso tan fatal
En un espejo azul
Qué voy a hacer Dios mío
Estoy perdiendo la razón
Queda atrapado
Quedé fundido
En otro tiempo
En otra dimensión
Voy caminando por el hall
Del monasterio medieval
El padre Aurelio me instruyó bienvenido pase ya
Todo lo que vea es de usted se lo voy a regalar
Me dijo el cura sin piedad usted pudo llegar
Hasta aqui y jamás podrá escapar
Por pecar y blasfemar
Con la vida pagarán
Queda atrapado
En un espejo azul
Que voy a hacer Dios mío
Estoy perdiendo la razón
Queda atrapado
Quedé fundido
En otro tiempo
En otra dimensión
Cayendo, huyendo
Estan equivocados
Maligno mezquino me grita un fraile bizantino
Y en el río
La jauría de los frailes me seguía
Me atraparon me golpearon
De regreso a la abadía
Y en el patio del convento exorcistas me gritaban
No hay remedio a la hoguera no lo hagan, no
No me maten por piedad
No me maten por piedad
No me maten por favor
No por piedad
Piedad Dios mío
The song El Espejo by Maná is about a person who is reflecting on a decision they made that may have been a mistake. They were hesitant to make this decision, as they questioned whether it was the right thing to do. The decision they made led them to cross a seductive mirror that they had been staring at, and they did so fearfully before leaving it behind. However, they soon realized they were trapped in an alternate dimension, as they found themselves walking through a medieval monastery. The lyrics describe how the singer is being punished for their sins, and they are unable to escape the consequences of their actions. The second half of the song is about the singer realizing that they cannot escape the punishment and being caught by the exorcists, who are trying to exorcise their demons.
The song is centered around the themes of guilt, sin, and punishment. It is a powerful depiction of how one's past actions can come back to haunt them, and how they must face the consequences of their decisions. The lyrics vividly portray the fear and confusion that the singer is feeling as they realize they are trapped in an alternate dimension, a symbol for the consequences of their actions. The song also touches on religious themes, particularly Catholicism, as the singer finds themselves in a medieval monastery and is punished by exorcists for their sins.
