En La Ciudad De La Furia Lyrics in English by Aterciopelados
Desnudaré comes from the verb desnudar, meaning 'to undress' or 'to strip bare'. While it can refer to physical undressing, it often carries a deeper, metaphorical meaning of revealing something hidden or exposing the truth.
In the context of "En La Ciudad De La Furia," the line "Te desnudaré por las calles azules" (I will undress you through the blue streets) is highly evocative. It suggests not just a physical act, but a profound unveiling or exposure of the city itself, or perhaps a person within it, to its rawest form. This dual meaning makes it a compelling and memorable word.
Aterciopelados takes us on a wild ride through a chaotic urban setting in "En la Ciudad de la Furia" [In the City of Fury]. The lyrics paint a picture of a mysterious, almost mythical figure who can "volar" [fly] and "caer" [fall] through this city where "nadie sabe de mí" [nobody knows me] but they are "parte de todos" [part of everyone]. It feels like a dream or a feverish vision, with lines like "me verás caer como un ave de presa" [you will see me fall like a bird of prey] and "como una flecha salvaje" [like a wild arrow].
There's a sense of danger and anonymity, but also a strange intimacy. The figure seeks refuge and comfort, asking to be hidden "entre tus piernas" [between your legs] and "entre la niebla" [between the fog]. This "hombre alado" [winged man] seems to prefer the darkness, as "con la luz del sol se derriten mis alas" [with the sunlight my wings melt]. It's a fascinating look at feeling both connected to and separate from the bustling, furious energy of a big city, possibly Buenos Aires, which is described as "tan susceptible" [so susceptible].
