Carnaval
Sidonie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al charlante de la feria con mi asignación
Me han crecido un par de alas de halcón
Esperándote en el mirador
He subido al más alto árbol del lugar
En la gran colina que desciende hacia el mar
Saludándote en la copa en flor
Arrojándote mis plumas y un motor
Será porqué es carnaval
Será porqué es carnaval
Todo tiene alas a mi alrededor
Todo lo que andaba ahora es un reactor
El cartero en el tejado a punto de saltar
El taxista en la ventana lo quiere probar
Hoy es carnaval todos a bailar
Hoy es carnaval todos a volar
Será porqué es carnaval
Será porqué es carnaval
Todo tiene alas a mi alrededor
Todo lo que andaba ahora es un reactor
Será porqué es carnaval
Será porqué es carnaval
The song Carnaval by Sidonie is a vibrant and energetic celebration of the carnival season. The lyrics of the song describe a protagonist who has bought a medicine for his pain from a talkative vendor at the fair. He then imagines growing a pair of hawk wings and waiting for someone at the lookout point. The song is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation that the carnival season brings. The singer climbs up the highest tree in the place and greets his beloved with waving flowers and a motor.
As the song progresses, the singer feels like everything around him has grown wings and is flying high. He sees a postman standing on a roof, ready to jump, and a cab driver trying to fly out of the window. The chorus repeats the lyrics “Será porqué es carnaval” which means “it might be because it’s carnival”. The festival is portrayed as a time when everything and everyone is in a state of joy and exuberance. Sidonie taps into the feelings of ecstasy and liberation that carnival represents.
Overall, the song Carnaval is a representation of the carnival season’s high spirits, colorful celebrations, and escapist tendencies. It’s a tribute to the freedom that the festival brings, where people can let their hair down and indulge in revelry without judgment.
