Aúllan Los Lobos Lyrics in English by Nanpa Básico
Aúllan comes from the verb aullar, which means "to howl." It's a vivid and evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of wolves under the moon.
In the context of the song, "Aúllan los lobos" (The wolves howl) sets a mysterious and somewhat wild tone. It suggests a primal, untamed energy or perhaps a sense of foreboding, making it a memorable and intriguing choice for a song title and a featured word.
Nanpa Básico takes us on a journey through a mind full of premonitions and a desire to savor every moment, even if it means "perder el tiempo en el mejor momento" [wasting time at the best moment]. He describes a world of "templos imaginarios de dioses sin monumentos" [imaginary temples of gods without monuments] and finds beauty in the small things, like "fragmentos de la luna en tus labios suculentos" [fragments of the moon on your succulent lips]. It's a song about confronting life's harsh realities and accepting that some things are out of our control.
He declares himself a writer who does "lo que se le antojo" [whatever he fancies] and acknowledges that "el final siempre es el mismo en la historia que escojas" [the end is always the same in whatever story you choose]. There's a defiant spirit as he shrugs off judgment, wishing those who wish him ill that "la vida le multiplique" [life multiplies it for them]. The repeated line "Aúllan los lobos" [The wolves howl] creates a powerful, almost primal atmosphere, suggesting a wildness or an inescapable force. It's a raw and honest look at existence, with a touch of dark poetry.
