Circo
Tessa Ia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tengo un collar, de milagritos
lleno de corazoncitos, no me arrepiento
de lo que siento, yo solita los puse en cadenita

Y así, me divierto y me contento, sola.
Y diario malabar, cabezas en tu cama, individual, sola. Y diario malabar, acto tras acto de un espectacular.
Y así, me divierto y me contento.
Baile, malabar, van, a mal hablar.
Baile, individual, van, a mal hablar.

Me gusta sentir los ríos, de tus escalofríos.
Placer culposo, debe ser dudoso, no soy malvada, quizás elaborada.
No soy de engañar, pero se me da el malabar.
Culpa de cuna, pecado nato,
soy de circo, de circo.

Y así, paso el tiempo, bailo lento.
Baile, malabar, van, a mal hablar.
Baile, individual, van, a mal hablar.

Y así, tapo el viento de mis tormentos, sola.
Y diario malabar, cabezas en tu cama, individual, sola. Y diario malabar, acto tras acto de un espectacular.
Y así, tapo el viento de mis tormentos.





Baile, malabar, van a mal hablar.
Baile, individual, van a mal hablar.

Overall Meaning

In Tessa Ia's song Circo, the lyrics depict the life of someone who is part of a circus, possibly as a performer. The main character wears a necklace of small charms or miracles, filled with little hearts, and she does not regret the love she feels. She put the charms on the chain by herself, symbolizing her independence and self-sufficiency. The character finds pleasure in entertaining herself and keeping herself content, all by herself. She juggles daily, both figuratively and literally, possibly suggesting that she has to manage many things at once to keep her life going. She is almost proud of being able to do it all on her own and seems to enjoy the challenge. However, she is aware that her lifestyle might not be accepted by others easily. The lyrics suggest that there might be gossip surrounding her affairs, but she keeps doing her thing nonetheless.


The song also talks about the character's sensual pleasures, such as feeling the shivers of her lover's body. Though she believes that it is a guilty pleasure, the character does not think of herself as being malicious, just someone who enjoys the finer things in life. Her life might be different from those of others, but it is just who she is. The character feels like she was born into a life of circus and juggling, and hence, it is in her nature to put up a show, even when it comes to her relationships. She keeps living her life doing all that she does, shielding herself from the sorrows and the wind of her torments, so that she can keep the show going.
