Fragile
Sting ロイヤル・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団 & メルクリオ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are




How fragile we are
How fragile we are

Overall Meaning

The song "Fragile" by Sting is a reflection on the fragility of human life and the destructive consequences of violence. The opening lines suggest that even though violence may result in bloodshed, it cannot erase the deep emotional and psychological scars that are left on the human mind. The reference to "something in our minds" suggests that violence has lasting effects that cannot simply be washed away by the rain.


The song then shifts to a more contemplative tone, suggesting that perhaps the ultimate purpose of violence is to highlight the value of peace and the futility of aggression. This is captured in the line "that nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could." The final stanza brings the song back to its central theme of fragility, with the repetition of "on and on the rain will fall / like tears from a star" serving as a reminder that human life is transient and vulnerable.


Overall, the song presents a powerful commentary on the human condition, emphasizing the importance of empathy and compassion towards others. It urges us to remember the fragility of our own lives and to strive for peace and understanding in a world that can often be violent and tumultuous.

Perdón
Es que no sé la razón
Y metí el corazón
En donde no debía
No vi la señal de que iba en contravía
Fui yo
El que se ilusionó
Y aunque no funcionó
Yo te entregué mi vida
No me pidas disculpas, que la culpa es mía
¿Por qué no tengo un corazón así?
Así como el que te dieron a ti
Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil
Por eso lo rompiste fácil
Y yo queriendo un corazón así
Así como el que te dieron a ti
Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil
Por eso lo rompiste fácil
Quisiera ser como tú, como tú, sin sentimientos
Que no me duela el alma cuando me estés mintiendo
Quisiera ser como tú y olvidar nuestros momentos
Pero no soy como tú y aquí sí me estoy muriendo
Y ahí te va, chiquitita
Y eso es Grupo Frontera
Yahritza y Su Esencia
¿Por qué no tengo un corazón así?
Así como el que te dieron a ti
Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil
Por eso lo rompiste fácil
Y yo queriendo un corazón así
Así como el que te dieron a ti
Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil
Por eso lo rompiste fácil
Quisiera ser como tú, como tú, sin sentimientos
Que no me duela el alma cuando me estés mintiendo
Quisiera ser como tú y olvidar nuestros momentos
Pero no soy como tú y aquí sí me estoy muriendo
