Noche
Matraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El ganado se ha perdido;
El sol regresa a su fragua:
Todo el mundo se va huido.
Se va borrando la huerta,
La granja se ha sumergido
Y mi cordillera sume
Las criaturas resbalan
De soslayo hacia el olvido,
Y también los dos rodamos
Hacia la noche, mi niño
The lyrics to "Noche" by Matraz are a carefully crafted description of a world that is coming undone, with each line painting a vivid picture of the destruction that is taking place. The first line, "Las montañas se deshacen," describes the mountains themselves crumbling away and disappearing, while the second line, "El ganado se ha perdido," paints a picture of animals getting lost and perhaps even dying due to the upheaval. The third line, "El sol regresa a su fragua," is a powerful metaphor, indicating that even the sun is feeling the effects of this chaos and is being forced to retreat and regroup.
The next two lines ramp up the intensity, with "Todo el mundo se va huido" translating to "Everyone is fleeing." It's a moment of panic, with the world collapsing all around and people desperately trying to get away from the destruction. The following two lines use imagery of disappearing farmland and a sinking farm to suggest that not even the most humble and stable aspects of society are safe from this event. The final two lines, "Y mi cordillera sume/Su cumbre y su grito vivo," are a powerful encapsulation of the singer's feelings in the midst of all this. Even as everything is falling apart, the passion and intensity of life and the natural world is still there, calling out for attention.
Overall, "Noche" is a powerful and evocative song that captures the fear and awe of a major cataclysmic event. The lyrics use vivid, evocative language to suggest a world that is coming apart at the seams, and the singer's emotions are clear throughout. It's a breathtaking piece of music that leaves a lasting impact on those who hear it.
