La Paloma
Mojiganga Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quisiera ver que todo este bien
Pero es inevitable todo esto esta muy malo
Y ahora se que no les puedo creer
Todo es una pantalla que no sirve para nada
No es la paz lo que hay que buscar
Tal vez no existe o nunca se alcanzara
No hay que marchar
Solo pensar para arreglar lo que esta mal

No estamos ciegos
Todos sabemos donde mirar
Solo es justicia social
Lo que queremos
Para poder vivir normal

Recuerdo la paloma que pinte ayer…
Gran idea!
se destiñe sin poder volar
Que patraña!
Porque es la paz solo una reacción
La consecuencia de que todo esta mejor
No hay que añorar

Las esperanzas duraran
Un tiempo más

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mojiganga's song "La Paloma" speak to the challenges of finding truth and peace in a world that is full of deception and turmoil. The singer expresses a desire for everything to be okay, but acknowledges that things are very bad. They also recognize that they cannot trust what they see or hear, as it is all a facade that serves no real purpose. The song suggests that the key to finding peace is not to simply march or protest, but to think and work on fixing what is wrong. The lyrics emphasize the importance of social justice and the desire to live a normal life.

The reference to a painted dove that cannot fly represents the idea that sometimes things seem beautiful and hopeful, but in reality, they are unable to achieve their full potential. The song also questions whether peace is simply a reaction to things being better, or if it is something that can be actively pursued and achieved. The lyrics suggest that hope and optimism may not always be sufficient and that it takes hard work and determination to bring about lasting change.
