Sota una Estrella
Sopa De Cabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
si veu problemes passa de llarg
porta buides les butxaques
i el cor obert quan el sol se'n va
pren el camí de la lluna blanca
dins dels seus ulls la podràs veure brillar
La seva és sempre la nit més llarga
Sota una estrella hi haurà algú sempre
que sigui com tu, que estigui perdut
De dia quan torna a casa
conta en veu alta els minuts i els anys
i mira els records com passen
mentres espera tornar a marxar
Vol nar més lluny d'ons els somnis neixen
tren de l'amor que no sap si pararà
No entén perquè tot va tan depresa
per cada tren que perd un somni morirà
Sota una estrella hi haurà algú sempre
que sigui com tu, que estigui perdut
Sota una estrella hi haurà algú sempre
que sigui com tu, que estigui perdut
In Sopa De Cabra's song "Sota una Estrella", the singer seems to be offering advice to someone with whom they identify. The first stanza suggests that the person has a lot of problems and uncertainties, but the singer advises them to ignore them and keep an open heart. They should take the path of the white moon, and in their eyes, they will see the star shining brightly. It seems that the singer is telling this person to keep their focus on something bright and positive, and not to let their problems get in the way of it.
In the second stanza, the singer describes the person's nightly routine. They come home and count the minutes and years aloud as they look through their memories. It seems that the person is restless and cannot stay still for long. They want to go travel to where dreams come true, and they are afraid that if they stay still for too long, they might lose their passion for love and life.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that there will always be someone under the star who is just like them, lost and trying to find their way. The singer suggests that this person is not alone and that there is a sense of comfort in knowing that there are others going through the same struggles.
Overall, the song seems to be about finding comfort in the darkness and uncertainty of life. The singer offers hope to the listener, reminding them that even when things seem overwhelming, there will always be someone else experiencing the same thing. The song is a reminder to keep an open heart and keep dreaming, even when things get tough.

He intentado traducirla
Debajo una estrella,
No tiene demasiadas cosas claras, si ve problemas, pasa de largo. Tiene los bolsillos vacíos, y el corazón abierto cuando el sol se va, lleva el camino de la luna blanca dentro de sus ojos la podrás verla brillar, sus cenizas, la noche mas larga, no busca nada que su mano pueda tocar,
Debajo de una estrella, habrá siempre alguien, que siempre sea como tú , que esté perdido.
De día cuando vuelve a casa, cuenta en voz alta los minutos y los años, y mira los recuerdos como pasan, mientras espera volver a marchar. Dar más luz los sueños nacen, tener a la muerte que no sabes que pará. No entiendo porque todo va tan deprisa, por cada tren que pasa, pierdo el sueño morirá

Gran cançó! La meva cançó per dormir de petita i ara la de la meva filla. Diu "hi haurà algú sempre", i ben claret.
