En La Ciudad De La Furia Lyrics in English Soda Stereo
Alado means "winged". It's a beautifully poetic and uncommon adjective used in the song to describe a "hombre alado" — a winged man.
This powerful image casts the narrator as a modern-day Icarus, flying over the intense city of "fury". The song uses this metaphor to explore feelings of escape and vulnerability, especially in the iconic line "Con la luz del sol se derriten mis alas" (With the sunlight, my wings melt).
Fasten your imaginary wings and dive into the night skies of Buenos Aires! En La Ciudad De La Furia paints the city as a stormy, electric jungle where a mysterious “winged man” glides over rooftops, hiding in the fog and shadows. He feels both invisible and deeply connected to every soul below, a lonely superhero who only finds freedom when the sun goes down and the streets clear. The lyrics mix vivid aerial imagery with raw urban emotion, showing how the city’s chaos can fuel both fear and exhilaration.
At its core, the song explores alienation, desire, and escape. The narrator plummets “like a bird of prey,” seeks refuge “between your legs,” and melts under daylight that burns his wings. Darkness becomes his sanctuary, while daylight exposes his vulnerabilities. By merging dreamlike flight with gritty cityscapes, Soda Stereo turns Buenos Aires into a character of its own: seductive, dangerous, and impossible to escape. Listening to this track is like joining a nocturnal flight over neon-lit avenues, feeling every gust of passion and fury the city has to offer!
