La Sirena
Nelson Y Sus Estrellas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En un gran mar de ciudad escondida,
Yo me imagino un marinero,
Teniendo siempre mis redes vacias.
CORO
La sirena viene hacia mi
Voy atraparla en mi red marinera
Loca de risa en la espuma del mar (bis)
Yo te imagino una sirena,
En un gran mar de ciudad escondida,
Yo me imagino un marinero,
Teniendo siempre mis redes vacias.
CORO
La sirena viene hacia mi
Voy atraparla en mi red marinera
Y me espera para gozar
Loca de risa en la espuma del mar (bis x3)
The lyrics of Nelson y Sus Estrellas' song La Sirena paint a picture of a city sailor who imagines a mermaid swimming in the midst of the chaotic city around him. He longs to catch her in his empty fishing net and share playful moments with her in the frothy waves of the sea. Imagery and metaphors are heavily employed in the song, with the mermaid symbolizing the unattainable love the sailor desires. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and a desire to indulge in a fantasy world where love is not only possible but magical, as the mermaid's surreal existence implies.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the sailor's pursuit of the mermaid and his intention to capture her. However, the tone is not threatening but rather playful, as the singer anticipates the fun they would have together in the sea. The emphasis on the beauty of the sea, highlighted by the phrase "Loca de risa en la espuma del mar," suggests that love can be found in the natural world, even for a city sailor like the one portrayed in the song. In essence, the song drives home the message that love can be found in the most unexpected places and that one should always be open to exploring new possibilities.
