Mars
To-night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contempla el andar de los días
con apacible vieja mansedumbre
Obedece solamente a la costumbre,
De Madrugar y apreciar el asomo del sol,
De buscar en el mar alguna certidumbre ,
Ya hace meses que no sirve su timbre,
pero a quien le importa si de nadie se esconde,
que algo nuevo le asombre,
Aun Porta con honor ese suéter de estambre
Como si fuera un obligado uniforme
Espera no usar jamas un bastón
No quiere acabar como Borges
Le aterra perder la visión
Dejo de ver ya la televisión
Mejor Colecciona relojes de bolsillo,
Su sala parece el museo del estanquillo
Le gusta sopear el bolillo con cafe
Perdió la fe pero nunca su brillo
Cambio de devocion
pidió a dios su devolución
Cuando partió la que lo hacía entrar en razón,
Su compañera querida, la domadora De su corazón
Sabe que la vida, ahora es la demora
Previa al rencuentro adorado dorado que añora
Coro;
No todos los recuerdos asfixian
Hay Unos que llegan como buenas noticias,
Como Un abrazo, un aroma una caricia
Remembranzas y sonrisas
Fue pacifista como Francisco I. Madero,
quiere ser espiritista hablar con los que ya se fueron,
Poder decir te quiero y adios
a todos los que no se despidieron
Si volviera a comenzar dejaría todo igual,
solo Cambiaría el cristal
A travez de cual interpretó su realidad
asumiría responsabilidad
Le diría a su padre gracias por el esfuerzo
entiendo tú ausencia x darnos almuerzo,
Sería mas benevolente con toda la gente
daría un abrazo indulgente a su hermano,
Besaría la frente de su madre al agradecerle,
cuidarle y Amarle a pesar de su carácter
de lobo indomable,
Pero ya es tarde y la sabiduría del viejo
es un consejo Que no tiene a quien darle
The lyrics of "Mars" by To-night depict the life and perspective of an elderly person who has witnessed and experienced a great deal. The song begins by describing a wicker chair that has become familiar with the passage of time, observing the days with a calm and gentle demeanor. The chair follows the routine of waking up early and admiring the sunrise, seeking some certainty in the sea. It is mentioned that the chair's timbre, perhaps referring to its voice or purpose, no longer serves a function, but it doesn't matter as it remains hidden from everyone. The chair has seen so much that it is not easily amazed by anything new. It still carries the honor of wearing a woolen sweater, as if it were an obligatory uniform. The chair fears losing its vision and has stopped watching television. Instead, it collects pocket watches, turning its living room into a museum. It enjoys dipping bread in coffee, has lost faith but not its sparkle, and has changed its devotion, praying for its return. The chair reminisces about its beloved companion, who used to be the one to bring reason to its life. It knows that life now is just a delay, anticipating a cherished reunion it longs for.
The chorus reflects on memories, suggesting that not all memories suffocate, but some arrive like good news, providing comfort and warmth like a hug, a soothing scent, or a tender touch. The lyrics highlight the chair's desire to be a pacifist like Francisco I. Madero, and its wish to communicate with those who have passed away. It wishes it could say "I love you" and bid farewell to those who never had a chance to say goodbye. If given the chance to start over, the chair would change very little, except for changing the lens through which it interpreted reality and take more responsibility for its actions. It would express gratitude to its father for his effort and understanding his absence during lunchtime. The chair would be more understanding and offer an indulgent embrace to its brother and kiss the forehead of its mother while thanking her for caring and loving, despite her difficult nature. However, the chair realizes that it is now too late and the wisdom it possesses cannot be shared with anyone.
