Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con los pies descalzos caminoY la tierra entera la cruzo y hablo y habloSu palabra fue la claridadQue con hermosa luz nos disipo la oscuridadDijo que el morir no es el finalQue todavia queda mas alla amorInmenso amor en otra vida
Dio su corazon por ti y por miY a cambio de amor le dieron hielVino para que fueras felizCuentame que has hecho tu por el
Yo se que un dia tiene que volverPara recoger lo que sembro con humildadY si el campo esta sin florecerY la semilla ve que se perdio el lloraraPero es tiempo aun para sembrarY hacer que viva en ti la flor del bienY asi poderle dar la bienvenida
Raphael's song "El Hombre" tells the story of a man who lived centuries ago and left a lasting impression on the world. His singing was like a prayer and his voice was sweet to listen to when he spoke. He spoke only of love, the kind of love that touches the heart and brings the peace of a new world. He walked the earth with bare feet and talked to everyone, spreading light where there was darkness. He said that death is not the end, that there is still love beyond this life. He gave his heart for all of us, and in return, some gave him bitterness. But he came to make us happy, so the song asks: What have we done for him?
The song is a tribute to the man who changed the world with his love, kindness, and words. The lyrics speak of a man who lived his life with purpose, walking barefoot on the earth, and speaking only of love. He spreads his message of love and hope to all those around him, and even though some may have given him bitterness in return, he continues to give and to love. The message of the song is clear – to live a life of love, kindness, and purpose.
