Song Meaning

Canción de cuna para un niño vago" opens with a stark, poetic image: a child beneath a bridge, dreaming of flight. The moon's reflection "in the water" glides through the city, a quiet, almost indifferent observer. This immediate contrast between natural beauty and urban hardship sets a melancholic tone. The child's simple wish to fly hints at a deep yearning for escape. The lyrics quickly pivot from this dream to a crushing reality.
