Dementes En El Espacio Lyrics in English by La Renga
Canarinha literally translates to "little canary". It's an interesting and somewhat rare word to find in a rock song, especially given its common association with a small, delicate bird.
In the context of "Dementes En El Espacio," the phrase "profundidad de la canarinha redonda" (depth of the round little canary) is quite abstract and open to interpretation. It could be a poetic way to refer to something small yet significant, perhaps a hidden detail or a subtle beauty within a larger, more complex idea like the "conquista del siglo" (conquest of the century). Its unusual placement makes it memorable and intriguing.
La Renga's "Dementes en el Espacio" feels like a wild ride through a chaotic mind, or maybe a group of them! The lyrics kick off with a sense of urgency, like there's "algo que decirlo" [something to say], but then it's immediately contradicted with "no, al costado" [no, to the side]. It's this push and pull that makes the song so intriguing.
They talk about "la conquista del siglo" [the conquest of the century] in a world that's deeply connected, almost like a tangled mess of wires. Despite all this, there are "siempre las risas" [always the laughs] happening at the same time, even as they're going "sin rumbo de las vueltas y vueltas" [aimlessly in circles and circles]. It's a feeling of being stuck in a loop, "seguimos en lo que se ha convertido en el mismo" [we continue in what has become the same], but always with a "ventana" [window] – perhaps a glimpse of hope or just a different perspective on the madness.
