Collar
Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te buscarás hasta caer danzando
Entre la bruma tibia

Y al despertar te reunirás en tiras
Como un barco en un viaje hacia la luz

¿Por qué correr estando libre?
Y solo ver que nadie espera en destino

El árbol sabe descender
Hacia el calor del centro mismo del abismo

Y allí,  tu corazón
Se quedará jugando ya despierto
Con las cuentas de un collar

Una palabra y un temor
Hay un amor que no regresa a tus ojos
Las aves parten y al pasar
No comprendemos como alumbran el viento

Y allí, me encontrarás
Mientras estoy bailando entre las cuerdas




Con las dulces cosas
Entre las cuentas de un collar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Collar" by Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto convey a sense of introspection and reflection on life's journey. The opening lines suggest a search for something, possibly meaning or fulfillment, that leads to a falling and dancing in a warm misty haze. However, upon awakening, the singer realizes that they are fragmented, like a ship traveling towards the light.


The following lines question the need to run when one is already free, only to realize that no one is waiting for them at their destination. This could signify a realization that seeking external validation or approval is ultimately futile. The mention of the tree descending towards the warmth at the center of the abyss suggests a desire for connection and finding solace within oneself.


In the chorus, the heart is portrayed as playful and awake, engaged in manipulating the beads of a necklace. This imagery can be interpreted as symbolizing the exploration of one's desires and passions. The following verse speaks of a word and fear, implying the existence of a love that will not return to the singer's eyes. The departure of the birds and our inability to comprehend how they illuminate the wind further emphasizes the mysteries and complexities of life.
