Tu Eres Un Indio
Naty Botero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te vas y nunca vuelvas atrás
Si me quieres ver
Sabes que me puedes encontrar
Música a volar
Vamos a bailar,
Que te dejas incendiar por cualquier calor
No con tanto odio te voy a recordar más
No eres un indio, eres robot
No eres un indio, eres robot
No eres un indio, eres robot
Lámame, (bam, bam)
Si te vas nunca vuelvas (bam, bam)
Pero en esta vida estamos para aprender
Sin herir, hiriendo sin querer, pero querer
Vamos todos juntos, vamos a progresar
Dices que te amo y puedo conquistar
Pero te crees Jesucristo superstar
No eres más que un humano
Un ser como yo y tú
No eres un indio, eres robot
No eres un indio, eres robot
No eres un indio, eres robot
The lyrics of Naty Botero's song "Tu eres un indio" present a message of self-awareness towards racial identity and how it can be distorted. The song starts with a call to action to leave behind negative emotions and dancing to uplifting music. Later on, the lyrics challenge the idea of being called an "indio," which can be seen as a derogatory term for indigenous people, by stating that the person in question is a robot instead. This idea of being labeled can be seen as an attempt to show that people cannot be reduced to a particular race, ethnicity, or nationality.
As the lyrics continue, they depict a struggle with self-esteem and how people sometimes perceive themselves to be invincible while struggling with anxiety and insecurity. The song highlights the importance of self-love and acceptance, even though people are all human and have deep-rooted flaws. The repetition of the line "No eres un indio, eres robot" emphasizes that people should not be defined by superficial labels.
The lyrics of "Tu eres un indio" remind listeners that it is crucial to embrace diversity and appreciate everyone's uniqueness and individuality. The song reflects on how labels can cause insecurity and confusion but advises people to see beyond these labels and acknowledges the importance of acknowledging everyone's humanity.
