Dos Extraños
Tachenko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y no lo puedes comprender.
Yo sé que a veces somos extraños,
pero mira, qué le voy a hacer?.
Tendemos a adoptar posturas inquietantes
por culpa del calor y los tranquilizantes.
Intercambiamos valiosa desinformación
acerca de los dos
tampoco es lo peor.
Mis ojos serán siempre tus ojos
y aquí no hay nada más que ver.
Tu mundo se cerró con cerrojos,
pero mira, qué le voy a hacer?.
Los abro sin pensar por qué no lo hice antes,
-quizá por el calor o los tranquilizantes-.
Somos humanos predestinados al nacer!
Es nuestra condición
y eso, hasta donde sé,
os llama la atención.
Buen intento, mi amor,
y en cada espejo de este hotel
mírate, míranos.
.
Sangre fría y valor
porque hay que hacer lo que hay hacer
sin consideración.
The lyrics to Tachenko's song "Dos Extraños" speak about a complicated relationship where the singer and their partner are slowly becoming strangers to each other. The opening lines, "Mis manos siguen siendo tus manos/ y no lo puedes comprender" (My hands are still your hands/and you can't understand it), highlight the disconnect between them. Despite their physical closeness, there is a lack of understanding and emotional connection. The singer acknowledges that they both sometimes act oddly due to the heat and tranquilizers, indicating that external factors are influencing their behavior.
The lines "Mis ojos serán siempre tus ojos/y aquí no hay nada más que ver" (My eyes will always be your eyes/and there is nothing more to see here) suggest that they have become so intertwined that they can no longer see beyond each other. The partner has closed off their world, symbolized by locked doors, and the singer feels helpless because there is nothing they can do about it. However, they still hope for a change, expressed through the lines "Los abro sin pensar por qué no lo hice antes" (I open them without thinking why I didn't do it before). This illustrates their desire to break free from the confines of this relationship.
The chorus of the song brings a sense of resilience and determination. The singer encourages their partner to make an effort, saying "Buen intento, mi amor" (Good attempt, my love). They urge their partner to look at themselves and see what they have become together. The line "Sangre fría y valor/ porque hay que hacer lo que hay hacer/ sin consideración" (Cold blood and courage/because we have to do what we have to do/without consideration) indicates that they must face their issues head-on and take action, even if it requires emotional detachment.
Overall, "Dos Extraños" portrays a relationship that has lost its intimacy and connection, with both parties becoming strangers to each other. The song highlights the struggles of trying to maintain a relationship in difficult circumstances, but also conveys a message of resilience and determination.
