Letras Traducidas: Gustavo Cerati – Bomba de Tiempo 💣

Que trata del tema del album Ahí Vamos


Bomba de Tiempo. Great song. Maravillosa canción. 🎸🤘💣⌚

La letra traducida al inglés

Esto es una bomba de tiempo nenaThis is a time bomb baby

Y nadie sabe como detenerla, como detenerlaAnd nobody knows how to stop it

Y ahora que los buitres sobrevuelanAnd now that the vultures are flying over (vultures are circling above). Vultures tend to circle their prey which usually consists of the carcasses of other animals. They are known for flying high in the sky over their prey waiting for them to die. 🦅

Nuestro cuerpo es como un niño que se tensa, que se tensa our body is like a child who tenses up (because of anxiety, worry, fear, or danger)

Cuento desde ceroI count from zero

Ya sabemos como esWe already know how it is

Finalmente será ceroIt will finally be zero

Cuando quiero correrWhen I want to run 🏃‍♀️

La tierra se abre ante mis piesThe Earth opens up before my feet or the Earth opens up in front of my feet. The phrase ‘the Earth opens up beneath my feet’ might also make sense here. Prepositions are always interesting. 🧐

Esto es una bomba de tiempo nenaThis is a time bomb baby

Lo mismo que nos une hoy nos desintegra, nos desintegraThe same thing that unites us, separates us (The thing that brings us together, pulls us apart).

En la escenografía de la esperaThe word ‘escenografía’ makes me think of a stage or a set for something like a concert or a play. I interpret this as expressing a feeling of waiting for something to happen, something bad. It’s an anxiety-inducing wait. You’re on edge; you’re tense, nervous about what might happen, as if it were inevitable. It’s like a bomb that’s about to go off. You can only wait, close your eyes, and hold your breath; however, you can’t stop it. Nevertheless, I could be totally wrong; it’s just my interpretation. 😎

Una chispa de más y así es como el incendio empiezaJust one spark (one spark too many), and that’s how the fire starts. 🔥

El incendio empiezathe fire starts 🔥🧨

Cuento desde ceroI count from zero

Ya sabemos como esWe already know how it is

Finalmente será ceroIt will finally be zero

Cuando quiero correr (sólo quiero correr)When I want to run (I just want to run)

La tierra se abre ante mis piesThe Earth opens up before my feet or the Earth opens up in front of my feet.

¡Tragáme tierra!Earth, swallow me up! 🌍

¡Tragáme tierra!Earth, swallow me up!

Ahí Vamos 🤘
