Tierra Sagrada
Man Ray Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Travesías en otro lugar
Escapando al juego
Personajes en la T.V.
Que ya no quiero verlos
Y los pobres así seguirán
Y los ricos simulan
Un cohete explota en el mar
Y se me corta la ducha

Me tomo un vaso de agua
Me tomo un vaso de agua
Que sea clara
Los que llegan ya quieren partir
Y los que están esperan
Ser turista no estaba mal
Viéndolo de afuera
Me tomo un vaso de agua.
Las golondrinas vinieron igual
Dos días adelantadas
Volando alto buscando el calor
De la tierra sagrada
En un barco sobre el mar
Quiero hacer el viaje
Este ritmo no puede parar
No importa lo que pase
Me tomo un vaso de agua.

Me tomo un vaso de agua , y me voy
Me tomo un vaso de agua, agua.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Tierra Sagrada" by Man Ray, the lyrics talk about traveling to another place and escaping the game. The singer is tired of watching TV and the characters on it, and is disillusioned with the way that both the rich and the poor live. He notes that the poor will always be poor, while the rich just pretend to care. In the midst of this, there is an explosion and the singer's shower is interrupted, so he takes a drink of water. He wishes for the water to be clear and then muses on how those who arrive in a new place are already looking to leave, while those who stay are just waiting for something to happen.

The arrival of the swallows marks a significant turning point in the song, as they symbolize a change of season and the arrival of something new. The singer is inspired by the swallows and talks about wanting to take a journey on a boat over the sea, embracing the new rhythm of life. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "Me tomo un vaso de agua" or "I take a glass of water," emphasizing the simple, necessary act of sustenance in the face of life's complexities.

Que ya no quiero verlos
That I no longer want to see

Y los pobres así seguirán
And the poor will continue like this

Y los ricos simulan
And the rich pretend

Un cohete explota en el mar
A rocket explodes in the sea

Y se me corta la ducha
And the shower cuts out on me

Me tomo un vaso de agua
I drink a glass of water

Que sea clara
May it be clear

Los que llegan ya quieren partir
Those who arrive already want to leave
