El reloj de pared
Anunciando las 6:23
El pasado con sed
Y el presente es un atleta sin pies
Ya son las 6:43
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Me dice, "Así se vive aquí, te guste o no"
Y la nostalgia pone casa en mi cabeza
Y dan las 6 con 50

Quién te dijo que yo
Era el sueño que soñaste una vez
Quién dijo que tú
Voltearías mi futuro al revés

Ya son las 7:16
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Me dice, "Tu estrategia te arruinó"
No queda más que ir aprendiendo a vivir solo
Si te quedan agallas

La casa no es otra cosa
Que un cementerio de historias
Enterradas en fosas
Que algunos llaman memorias

Minutos
Como sale la herida
Se me pasa la vida
Gastando el reloj

Minutos
Son la morgue del tiempo
Cadáveres de momentos
Que no vuelven jamás
No hay reloj que dé vuelta hacia atrás

Cómo duele gastar
El instante en el que tú ya no estás
Cómo cuesta luchar
Con las cosas que no vuelven más

Ya son las 9:23
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Se burla de mis ganas de besar
La foto que dejaste puesta en el buró
Mi soledad es tu venganza

El ministerio del tiempo
Puso sede en mi almohada
Ahí te encuentro a momentos
Aunque no sirve de nada

Minutos
Como sale la herida
Se me pasa la vida
Gastando el reloj

Minutos
Son la morgue del tiempo
Cadáveres de momentos
Que no vuelven jamás
No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrás

Minutos que se burlan de mí
Minutos como furia del mar
Minutos pasajeros de un tren que no va a ningún lugar
Minutos como lluvia de sal
Minutos como fuego en la piel
Minutos forasteros que vienen y se van sin decir
Minutos que me duelen sin ti
Minutos que no pagan pensión
Minutos que al morir formarán el batallón del ayer
Minutos que se roban la luz
Minutos que me oxidan la fe
Minutos inquilinos del tiempo mientras puedan durar
Minutos que disfrutan morir
Minutos que no tienen lugar
Minutos que se estrellan en mí son Kamikazes de Dios

    I see that i am only the second person to post a single comment about this great latino singer. Ricardo Arjona is one of the most respected Latin SIngers ever. He shys away from singing pop or rock and goes more toward Pop or Rock,but with such a great message you forget about the music at times. This song minutos(minutes) is about a man who goes to jail for a crime he didn´t do.But while he is in jail his wife gets married to another man. in the song he talks about how minutes(repersenting a small period of time)can change things so much. My Favorite part is when Arjona says ¨Como duele gastar, El instante en el que tu ya no estas. Como cuesta luchar, Con las cosas que no vuelven más¨ which translates to ¨Oh how it hurts to waste,every minute that i´m not with you.Oh how much it costs,to fight things that won´t return¨ This is a very strong song and i reccomend Ricardo Arjona to everyone who enjoys REAL music.

    I agree with you meanguy300, this song is amazing and so is Ricardo Arjona. Certainly a must for all of those who want to listen to good music in Spanish. I love this part: "Minutos,/Son la morgue del tiempo,/Cadáveres de momentos,/Que no vuelven jamás;/No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrás" Some people are always trying to turn back time.. and they just need to deal with the fact that they can't :)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
