Genesis
Romasanta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la historia de un hombre
hecho de barro
creado en un edén
a este hombre
que se encontraba muy solo
le apareció una mujer
aparece una serpiente
quería llevarlos
por la senda del mal
pero de pronto ellos
se habían dado cuenta
que es un pecado mortal
Juntos lucharon para sobrevivir
en el gran paraíso que ya lo perderán
al pasar el tiempo decidieron
probar de la tentación
comer la fruta prohibida
que un dios les arrebato
Al comer el fruto se dan cuenta
una profunda realidad
que al paraíso lo tenían en sus manos
ya jamás lo obtendrán
Juntos lucharon para sobrevivir
en el gran paraíso que ya no lo tendrán
CORO
Génesis paraíso perdido
quieren recuperar
ya jamás lo obtendrán
The lyrics of Romasanta's song "Genesis" take inspiration from the biblical story of creation and the fall of man. The sacred book tells the story of a man made of clay, created in a blissful Eden. However, the man was lonely, and so a woman was created for him, appearing from the foliage. As they roamed the garden, a serpent appeared and attempted to lead them astray. The couple soon realizes that giving in to temptation is a mortal sin.
As time passed, the couple struggled to survive in the paradise they were blessed with, eventually deciding to succumb to the forbidden fruit that was taken from them by the gods. The act of eating the fruit opened their eyes to a profound truth: they had held the paradise in their hands and had lost it forever.
The chorus of the song embodies the sentiment of the lost paradise that the couple had once possessed, singing "Genesis paraíso perdido, quieren recuperar, ya jamás lo obtendrán," which translates to "Genesis lost paradise, they want to recover it, but they will never obtain it."
Overall, the song presents a somber reflection on the fleeting nature of human desires and the consequences that come with giving in to temptation.
