Navegando
Mazapan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con sus velas de mil colores.
Marineras son las gaviotas
Me acompañan con sus canciones.
Mar adentro nos lleva el viento
Y una estela se va formando.
Suaves olas nos van meciendo
De repente, se enoja el tiempo
Nubes negras y un fuerte viento
Nos atacan y nos envuelven
Remolinos que van y vienen.
Cruje todo en el combate
Entra agua por todas partes
Finalmente todo termina
La tormenta ya se retira.
Navegando voy en mi bote
Con sus velas de mil colores.
Marineras son las gaviotas
Me acompañan con sus canciones.
Navegando voy en mi bote
Con sus velas de mil colores.
Timoneando vamos p'al norte
Buscando nuevas emociones.
The lyrics to Mazapan's song "Navegando" describe the experience of sailing on a colorful boat across the ocean, accompanied by seagulls singing their songs. The wind carries the boat out to sea, leaving a gentle wake behind. As the sun begins to set, a sudden storm takes the boat by surprise, with black clouds and strong winds tossing the boat around in swirling whirlpools. The tempestuous battle against the forces of nature is intense, with water seeping into every crevice, but ultimately the storm subsides and the boat emerges victorious. The lyrics end by describing the continued journey towards new adventures, as the boat sails to the north with the guidance of the captain's steady hand on the helm.
The lyrics of "Navegando" speak to the universal human experience of feeling small and vulnerable in the face of the natural world, but also highlight the sheer joy and wonder of sailing in the open ocean. The song also serves as a metaphor for life's journey, where we are constantly navigating the ups and downs of the world around us. Ultimately, this song is a celebration of the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit, and the beauty of exploration and adventure.
