Cría cuervos
Obús Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Creí en tí,
E intenté ofrecer lo mejor que hay en mí
Tendí mi mano,
Pero a cambio solo recibí picotazos

Cria cuervos,
Dales la ocasión
Cuando emprendan vuelo,
Tápate los ojos...van por tí

Perdí mi tiempo,
Intentando que supieses volar
Creció en mí,
Un instinto fuerte, parternal

Cria cuervos,
Dales la ocasión
Cuando emprendan vuelo,
Tápate los ojos...van por tí

Si algo has aprendido de todo ésto,
No te ocurrirá lo mismo que a mí,
Si quieres el consejo de un pobre ciego,
Córtales el cuello, ¡ahora!

No des tu espalda,
Esas tiernas crías pueden ser alimañas
Mejor harías,
Dándoles cianuro en lugar de comida

Cria cuervos,
Dales la ocasión
Cuando emprendan vuelo,
Tápate los ojos...van por tí

Si algo has aprendido de todo ésto,
No te ocurrirá lo mismo que a mí,
Si quieres el consejo de un pobre ciego,
Córtales el cuello




Córtales el cuello
Córtales el cuello

Overall Meaning

The song "Cría cuervos" by Obús seems to be a warning against trusting people who eventually turn on you, using the metaphor of raising crows. The lyrics suggest that the singer once believed in someone and tried to offer their best to them, but only received hurt in return. The line "cria cuervos, dales la ocasión, cuando emprendan vuelo, tápate los ojos...van por ti" translates to "raise crows, give them the opportunity, when they take flight, cover your eyes...they're coming for you." This line seems to refer to people who have been raised and given opportunities, but inevitably turn against those who trusted them.


The singer also talks about losing their time trying to teach the person to fly and feeling a strong paternal instinct towards them, suggesting the relationship was close and caring before it soured. However, the lyrics take a dark turn when the singer advises the listener to cut the crows' necks or give them cyanide instead of food. This violent imagery drives home the warning to not trust those who will eventually hurt you.


In conclusion, Obús's song "Cría cuervos" is a cautionary tale about trusting the wrong people and feeling betrayed. The metaphor of raising crows and their potential for harm is a warning to not let one's guard down around those who could turn on you.
