Dolphin in Town
Nattalia Sarria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A un delfín que salpicó en la oscuridad
Llenó de estrellas todo el firmamento
Él construyó la Vía Láctea con su baño azul
Un marino es quien me cuenta esta canción
Fuma pipa al despertar mientras no puede parar
La melancolía no lo deja ya ni hablar
Hola dorufin dorufan dorufon
Un charco llega después de la lluvia
Ven mira ahí nadando está de nuevo el delfín
Así la urbe también visitaba
Ven mira ahí nadando está de nuevo el delfín
Él tiembla incómodo su mano al caminar
Juega como un niño él y ya no puede parar
Apenas se escucha lo que se le oye andar
Hola dorufin hola dorufan
Hola dorufin dorufan dorufon
Tuturu tuturu
Tururu turu
Tururu turu
The song "Dolphin in Town" by Nattalia Sarria tells the story of a dolphin that has come into the city and brings a sense of wonder and magic to the people who encounter it. The song sets the scene with a young child who attracts the dolphin in the darkness and causes the stars to shine brighter with its presence. The dolphin becomes a symbol of magic and enchantment for the people in the city who watch it swim in the urban landscape. A sailor tells the story of the dolphin to the singer of the song and he can't stop smoking his pipe as he becomes overwhelmed with melancholy. The dolphin is a reminder of the beauty of life and nature, and how we must hold on to those moments of enchantment.
The narrative of the song is further elaborated when the dolphin returns to a pond after a rainstorm. The people of the city get excited to see the dolphin again and are amazed by its presence. It becomes clear that the dolphin is a symbol of hope and it reminds us of the beauty of life. The final verse describes the dolphin in action, as it trembles but remains playful and brings joy to everyone around it. The song leaves us with a sense of wonder and a reminder of the enchantment that the natural world can bring into our lives, even in the midst of urbanization and modernization.
