Ciudad
rey gordiflón Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sin oportunidad en la tierra que te vio nacer
tus hijos no veran el cielo que tu viste ayer
saliste de tu tierra para nunca mas volver
a causa de aquellos que no te querian ver

y llegaste a la ciudad como un perdido mas
y llegaste a la ciudad
y a quien le puede importar?

entre balas dejaste atras
la tierra que te dio el pan
entre balas dejaste a tras la tierra de donde no hay qie escapar

hoy solo quieres volver a soñar
en la tierra que te vio nacer




hoy solo quieres volver a soñar
con la tierra de donde no hay q escapar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rey Gordiflón's song Ciudad are a lamentation of displacement and the despair of being uprooted from one's homeland. The first line sets a poignant tone, stating that there is no opportunity in the land where you were born.

However, because of those who did not want you around, you were forced to leave your homeland and all your dreams behind.


The song speaks to the harsh realities of leaving a place that you love and the pain of living in an unfamiliar place where you are a complete stranger. The lines "entre balas dejaste atras/la tierra que te dio el pan" suggests that the singer had to flee their homeland due to violence, leaving behind the place that once fed them. The song ends on a wistful note, with the central message being that despite everything, all you want is to return to the land that you love and dream about it once again.
