Carrusel
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Su belleza es sobrenatural
Igual que un laberinto de coral
Doy mil vueltas a su alrededor
Igual que un caballo en su carrusel.

Hoy me voy a atrever
Hoy puede suceder
Conozco mi papel
Y sé caer de pie.

Ella es oro, es un lento amanecer
Y yo el abogado de la indecisión
Ella es algo que nunca tendré
Es un recorrido que no aprenderé.

Hoy me voy a atrever
Hoy puede suceder
Conozco mi papel
También caer de pie.

Descansar,
Entender,




Decidir,
Que no es real.

Overall Meaning

In the song Carrusel, Mikel Erentxun sings about a beautiful woman who possesses a supernatural beauty - like a coral labyrinth. He compares himself to a horse on a carousel, going around and around her. He admits that he knows his role in the situation, and he knows how to handle it, even if he falls. She is like gold, a slow sunrise, while he is the lawyer of indecision. She is something he will never have, and he will never learn to experience her journey. Nevertheless, he is willing to take a chance and try to make things happen with her.


The lyrics of Carrusel evoke emotions of admiration and infatuation as the singer shares his admiration for the woman's beauty while accepting that she is unattainable. He takes on his role as an onlooker and admires her from a distance. Despite knowing that the journey with her cannot be his, he is willing to try and go for it anyways. The repeated line, "Hoy me voy a atrever," which translates to "Today I'm going to dare," further emphasizes the courage and determination the singer has to take action towards the woman despite the uncertainty and risks.


Overall, Carrusel is a beautiful song, full of metaphors that describe the muse's beauty and the singer's admiration for her. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, it is better to take a chance and try, even if it ultimately leads to failure.
