My Blue Unicorn Lyrics

My Blue Unicorn Yesterday Got Lost
(Pastando=Eating in the fields) I left him and he disappeared
Whichever Information I will pay for it good
The flowers that I left
Have not wanted to talk to me

My blue unicorn
yesterday got lost
I dont know If he left
I dont know If he ran off
And I dont have anything but a Blue Unicorn
If anyone knows about him
I plead for Information
100 thousand dollars or a million
I will pay
My Blue Unicorn
Got lost yesterday...
He left

My Blue unicorn and I built a friendship
A little bit with love
A little bit with truth
With his horn I wrote/fetched a song
Knowing how to share it
Was his duty

My blue unicorn
got lost yesterday
and it could look like
perhaps an obsession
but i have nothing else
than a blue unicorn
and even if i had two
i only want him
which ever information I will pay
My blue unicorn
yesterday got lost...
he left..


Moreover, that is the translation of the lyrics. (spanish native speaker) However the meaning is not that a true unicorn really got lost, or a lullaby. It means that his childhood/imagination/creativity/inspiration , the emotion you are born with (Innocence) and more over left. He no longer posses these traits, he might have grown up, but he lost the child/innocence inside him. A Unicorn is a symbol of the magic and beauty everyone is born with but then looses with time. This songs sings about him realizing he lost it and then wanting it back (pleading, paying, begging for it to come back). Everyone wants and sometimes wishes they still would have been kids a little longer, maintaining that youth and perspective you loose. In the end of the song he admits into the fact that his "Blue Unicorn" left. It is not only talking about him, but it can mean different emotions about different people.
