Desperado
Yksi Totuus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rakkauden epäonnen soturi, räpmoguli jonka revolveri
naulaa täysosumii
lainsuojaton kulkuri sombrerossa, tunteiden
härkärodeossa, omaisuus kitarakotelossa
lupasin sulle kaiken häistä kihlasormuksiin, oon ikuisesti
sun jos se mun kohtaloksi koituisi
liian kaukaa kotoo niinku Lucky Luke
eksyny ladulta entiseen ei oo paluuta, sateenkari
päättyki vaa savuiseen saluunaan
yhä mietin meitä, oon vielki valveilla, jätin sulle
muistoksi vaa espanjan alkeita
Yötä monta untetonta vuokses valvoin
kipu rintaa viiltelee, enkä tiedä minne meen
voi mua onnetonta teiden yksinäistä kulkijaa
Desperado, Desperado, Desperado, yksinäistä kulkijaa
Sisko tahtoisin jäädä mut mul on päämäärä, mun koti ei
oo täällä
mun on pakko mennä eteenpäin, en satuta sua enään
vannon käsi sydämmellä
sulle rakkautta mä vannoin, silti kohtelin sua kaltoin
tiedän rikkoisin sut taas ja taas ja taas aina uudestaan
Yötä monta untetonta vuokses valvoin
kipu rintaa viiltelee, enkä tiedä minne meen
voi mua onnetonta teiden yksinäistä kulkijaa
Desperado, Desperado, Desperado, yksinäistä kulkijaa
Aurinko laskee, yhä mietin sua ja syyllisyyttä mun harteilla
kaikki muistot ne takaisin vie sun luo, mä oon vieläki
valveilla
Kipu rintaa viiltelee, enkä tiedä minne meen
voi mua onnetonta teiden yksinäistä kulkijaa
Kipu rintaa viiltelee, enkä tiedä minne meen
voi mua onnetonta teiden yksinäistä kulkijaa
Desperado, Desperado, Desperado, yksinäistä kulkijaa
Desperado
The lyrics of Yksi Totuus's song "Desperado" tell the story of a love-stricken cowboy who has been dealt an unlucky hand in life. He is depicted as a "rakkauden epäonnen soturi" or a "warrior of love's misfortune" that is armed with a revolver that fires accurate shots. The cowboy is a wandering outlaw, dressed in a sombrero and emotional turmoil, with all of his possessions carried in his guitar case. He promised everything to his love, from the wedding to the engagement ring, and swore his undying love to her.
However, he knows that he's destined to become a lone traveler because luck is only available for a select few, and he's too far from home, like Lucky Luke. The cowboy finds himself lost, with no return to his former life. The rainbow ends only in the smoky saloon, and he can't stop thinking about the love he left behind. The cowboy acknowledges his mistakes, and expresses regret for having treated his love badly in the past. Yet, he fears that he may hurt her again soon.
Throughout the song, the cowboy's pain is palpable, as it cuts like a blade through his chest. He's lost, wandering aimlessly, and unable to find direction. The chorus repeats the word "Desperado" three times in a row, emphasizing his loneliness and isolation as he wanders alone. In conclusion, the lyrics of "Desperado" tell a tragic tale of a cowboy who is alone and suffering because love, despite all his promises and oaths, failed him.
Line by Line Meaning
Desperado, Desperado, YT
The unlucky warrior of love, the rap mogul whose gun hits the mark. The lawless wanderer in a sombrero, the emotions in a bull-riding contest, and the wealth in a guitar case. The singer promised everything, from weddings to engagement rings, and would be forever loyal if that was destined. But luck is only for a few, and the singer is too far from home like Lucky Luke. Once lost on the path, there is no turning back, and the rainbow ends only in a smoky saloon. The singer still thinks about the past, only offering Spanish basics as a memory.
Yötä monta untetonta vuokses valvoin
Many sleepless nights were spent thinking of you.
kipu rintaa viiltelee, enkä tiedä minne meen
Pain is cutting my chest, and I don't know where I'm going.
voi mua onnetonta teiden yksinäistä kulkijaa
Oh, me unhappy loner on the roads.
Desperado, Desperado, Desperado, yksinäistä kulkijaa
Lonely traveler, known as Desperado.
Sisko tahtoisin jäädä mut mul on päämäärä, mun koti ei oo täällä
Sister, I would like to stay, but I have a goal, and my home isn't here.
mun on pakko mennä eteenpäin, en satuta sua enään vannon käsi sydämmellä
I have to move forward, and I swear with my hand on my heart not to hurt you again.
sulle rakkautta mä vannoin, silti kohtelin sua kaltoin
I promised you love, yet treated you poorly.
tiedän rikkoisin sut taas ja taas ja taas aina uudestaan
I know I would break you again and again and again, always.
Aurinko laskee, yhä mietin sua ja syyllisyyttä mun harteilla
As the sun sets, I still think of you, with guilt on my shoulders.
kaikki muistot ne takaisin vie sun luo, mä oon vieläki valveilla
All the memories bring me back to you, and I'm still awake.
Desperado
Desperado.
