Ser
Vanessa Colaiutta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Justo los despertaba
Pasaban las seis
Y al final de cada mañana
Deshacían la cama dejando la piel
Y en ese momento el mundo era de ellos
El que nunca usaba anteojos
Se lustraba los ojos al mirarla
Casi siempre descalza, mujer natural
Y en ese momento sacan boleto
Uooh Uooh Uooh
A la luna llega el tren
Uooh Uooh
A la luna llega el tren
Habitaban ese planeta
Donde todo da vueltas
Justamente al revés
Donde no se usan maletas
Y que todo comienza a la cuenta de tres
Y en ese momento sacan boleto
Uooh Uooh Uooh
A la luna llega el tren
Uooh Uooh
A la luna llega
La gente los ve pasar
Desde tierra.
El tren partirá a la una
Con destino la luna
Por algún anden
Y en ese momento sacan boleto
Uooh Uooh Uooh
A la luna llega el tren
Uooh Uooh
A la una sale el tren
The song "Ser" by Vanessa Colaiutta describes a couple's early morning routine, where they wake up just as the rooster crows, and spend their mornings in bed together before starting their day. The lyrics depict a natural, unfiltered relationship where the woman is often barefoot and has a fresh face. The couple feels like they are in their own little world - a world of spinning, where everything is upside down and backwards. They do not need suitcases or material possessions to be happy, because they are content with each other's company. The chorus repeats the phrase "A la luna llega el tren" which can be translated to "The train arrives at the moon," implying a dream-like state or an escape from reality. The song ends with the couple boarding the train to the moon, leaving those on Earth to watch them depart.
Overall, the lyrics convey the idea of finding solace and happiness in simplicity and human connection. The couple's morning routine represents a ritual of intimacy and comfort that is impenetrable by the outside world. The repeated phrase "Uooh Uooh Uooh" in the chorus creates an ethereal and otherworldly feeling, accentuating the idea of escape and leaving reality behind.
