about

El Caracol is a collaboration between Oonga, his dad Zav and Ansoara. It is based on a poem written by Zav after the two of them had a really deep conversation about hidden pain. The poem was later adapted into song and translated into Spanish by Ansoara for the making of this track

lyrics

Es tu corazón que mira
Y no devuelve el caracol al mar

Tu pelo se ve bien corto
Como alguien cómodo en su piel
En su ropa regalada
Pero eso no es todo

No devuelvas el caracol al mar

Tu mantienes todo cerca de tu pecho
Pero cuando lo abres no sabemos
Que vamos a encontrar

Coro:
Tu eres el caracol
Tu cargas el mar contigo
De vez en cuando podemos escuchar

Es tu corazón que mira
Y no devuelve el caracol al mar

Casi todos tus amigos
Han tomado otro camino
Unos tienen mucho corazón
Y otros apagan la música

Tu mantienes todo cerca de tu pecho
Pero cuando lo abres no sabemos
Que vamos a encontrar

Coro
X3

Es tu corazón que mira
Y no devuelve el caracol al mar

Ya no había vía atrás
No sabias si podías nadar
Pero bajo esa ola te fuiste
