Vinilos
Melocos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el salón le vi sentado
Contando vinilos
Y había más de mil
Era yo un pequeño enano
Que corría suplicando
Ponedme ese disco
Miraba arriba hacía mi padre
Y escuchaba las leyendas
De aquel grupo
Que tuvo en su juventud
Aquellos discos de vinilo
Regalaban a mis oídos
Ese ruido a escarcha
Que en los sesenta él escuchaba
Y oculta en su mirada
Se han quedado grabadas
Las ganas de no dejar
La música por nada
Y estaré atento
De no perder el tiempo
Ahora que tengo
Yo la oportunidad
Y estaré atento
De guardar aquí dentro
La ilusión que mi sangre
Fue a heredar
Recuerdo hace muchos años
En el jardín los dos sentados
Contados historias
Y había más de mil
Le miraba como un sabio
Con su barba y su cerveza
Y hablando de los Beatles
Y de los Kinks
Y era sólo preguntarle
Por algún grupo de los de antes
Y en algún vinilo
Andaba por ahí
Sueña con su batería
Con tocarla cada día
Poniendo vinilos
De tristezas y alegrías
The song "Vinilos" by Melocos is a nostalgic reminiscence of the past, a tribute to the father’s love for vinyl records, that has been passed down to the singer as a cherished inheritance. The lyrics recount the memory of the young narrator, who was merely a child watching his father play vinyl records, his father's passion for music and how he would speak of the legends and stories of the music from his era. The father would recount moments and stories about music groups such as The Beatles and The Kinks, and the magic created by vinyl records on a phonograph player, leaving scratches and pops that are nostalgic for bygone days.
The song highlights the father-son relationship and the significance of the inheritance of music. It illuminates how the father's affection towards vinyl records and music has been passed down to the singer. The song is a reminder that the spirit of music should always be kept alive, kept in good hands, and be passed on to the next generation just as the father passes his love of vinyl records and music down to his son.
"Vinilos" is a song that stirs up pleasant memories and takes us back to an era in which vinyl records were the primary means of playing music. The song is a nostalgic reminder of the beauty and charm of playing records rather than CDs or streaming music. It is not only about our love for music and what it means to us, but the impossible magic which music contains and how it has the power to grip and transport people to a different era with a mere beat.
