Lampara Sin Luz
Paquita La Del Barrio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una brujula sin rumbo
una reloj sin manecillas
una biblia sin Jesus
Calles
las conoces metro a metro
why bajo ese pavimento
El frio quemo ya tu altivez
tu religion es la indecencia
admiro tu alma de hiel
para ti el mundo nada cuenta
**Oro
Que enganaste a la que adoro
why esa aunque sus besos lloro
una lampara sin luz
HABLADO:
Porque siel hombre empeña sus anhelos
poniendo a los pies de una mujer su vida
es posible que no haya un destello
que alumbre un poquitito su ilusion perdida
precio que tan caro mi destino paga
sabiendo que en mi corre la sangre herida
why es el alma que rasga un sentimiento
que canta why llora porque esta muy fria
**el frio quemo..etc**
** oro**....
Una lampara sin luz
una lampara sin luz
The lyrics to "Lampara Sin Luz" by Paquita La Del Barrio tell a tragic story of someone who is lost and directionless in life, with no faith or hope to guide them. The first verse compares the person to a compass without a direction, a clock without hands, and a Bible without Jesus, highlighting their aimlessness and lack of purpose. The second verse paints a bleak picture of the person's life, with the streets being familiar to them because they have nowhere else to go, and their ultimate fate being a cold grave marked by a simple cross. The chorus speaks of the person deceiving and causing pain to the one they love, but ultimately being as useless as a lamp without light.
The spoken interlude delves deeper into the theme of lost hope and unfulfilled desires, with a cynical view of human relationships and how they often lead to disappointment and heartache. The final verse returns to the metaphor of coldness, with the person's pride and dignity having been burned away by the harsh realities of life, leaving only a cold heart that is unable to feel anything. In the end, the lamp without light is a powerful symbol of the person's emptiness and futility, a life without purpose or meaning.
Overall, "Lampara Sin Luz" is a poignant and melancholic song that speaks to the human condition of dissatisfaction and disillusionment. It highlights the importance of having faith and direction in life, and the devastating consequences of losing them.
