Ir al baile
Onda Vaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uy sí, la culpa la tuvo la maestra de cuarto, cuando me hizo jurarle a la nada
Yo sólo quería ir al baile
Cuando el águila me vio avispando a la nada, se dio cuenta que no me importaba
Uy, la canción que sonaba, la maestra que hablaba, los recreos que me divertían
Cuando el tiempo pasó la guitarra me hablaba, el tobogán que llegaba a la cama
Uy, las piñatas reventaban, las sortijas cambiaban, los aviones que ya se veían
Tenían las alas
Me cargo el amarre
Yo sólo quería ir al baile
The song "Ir al baile" by Onda Vaga is a nostalgic reflection on the innocence and carefree nature of youth. The lyrics express the desire to attend a dance, but also reflect on the memories and experiences of growing up that have shaped the singer's perspective on life. The first verse describes a moment of realization when the weight of responsibility and adulthood did not yet burden the singer. The reference to carrying the flag at the age of twelve as a point of recognition and pride amplifies the sense of innocence and lack of hesitation towards the future. The influence of a teacher is also referenced, which further accentuates the sense of nostalgia and the desire to return to a simpler time.
The second verse shifts to an observation of the singer's carefree behavior while the eagle oversees it. The imagery of a soaring eagle and the singer's disinterest in the surroundings amplify the sense of freedom and independence. The reference to a song, a teacher, and recess all play a part in shaping the singer's feelings of joy and spontaneity. There is an emphasis on the importance of music and the enjoyment of childhood activities that speak to the universal experience of growing up.
The final verse shifts to a more reflective tone as the singer turns to the realization of the passage of time. The memories of a past that is now gone are juxtaposed with the inevitability of change, such as the growth from a child to an adult. The final line "Me cargo el amarre" is a poetic way of saying that the weight of the anchor is felt, representing the weight of growing up and the longing for the past to remain within reach.
