Aguas peligrosas
calamaro andres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y vamos a ejecutarlo en aguas peligrosas
un cocinero, un surfista y un negro
que van a matar el primero
y el capitán Huracán remontando el río.
Hasta el centro de Camboya no se folla, no se folla
No sé por qué voy a matar al coronel
si no hay otro tan genio como él
que se cansó de estupideces
es el más profundo del mundo y además
se va a dejar matar
¡este coronel es lo más!
Habrá que matar a Brando y salir tirando
porque esos cuarteles de invierno son el infierno
y no tiene quién le escriba
por eso me va a dejar a mí
nadie va a quedar vivo
es el fin del mundo
Camboya profundo, aguas peligrosas
y demasiadas cosas
De primero me sirvieron la cabeza del cocinero
y después el coronel Brando dijo
"Capi, crucificando"
dijo crucifícame y no trates de entender el sacrificio
los dos somos soldados forma parte del oficio de
matar y matar
The lyrics of "Aguas peligrosas" by Andrés Calamaro tell a story of a dangerous situation involving a colonel and a group of individuals who plan to execute him in treacherous waters. The song introduces the colonel as a genius who has witnessed too many things, and now he is going to be killed in the dangerous waters. The group consists of a chef, a surfer, and a black person who will be the ones to kill the colonel. The captain named Huracán is navigating the river as the story unfolds.
The singer reflects on his motive for wanting to kill the colonel, realizing that there is no other genius like him. The colonel must have seen so much horror that he became tired of the foolishness in the world. He is depicted as the deepest person in the world, willing to let himself be killed because of his profound perspective. The singer then mentions the need to kill Brando, possibly referring to the well-known actor Marlon Brando, and escape from the winter quarters that serve as hell. He emphasizes that Brando has no one to write for him, which leads to the assumption that the singer will be the one to carry out the act. The song concludes by acknowledging the destruction ahead, describing it as the end of the world in deep Cambodia with its dangerous waters.
