Meaning and lyrics: that’s what the Tikok hit “Fantasmas” is about
“Fantasmas” is a calm, wistful -looking song, a soulful song about the longing for a loved one.
The lyrics are among other things:
“En Esta Casa no Exist Fantasmas
Son Puros Recuerdos
De tiememos ajenos
De Buenos Momentos
En el Cielo Volaban Los Buitres Que auguran Deceso
El fin de los tiempos
Nos Hacemos Eternos
Tantas photos Lenando Los Marcos, Mi Propio Museo
No Hay Muchos Trofeos
Con uustedes tengo
Y aunque te llve en la sangre, me duele sent Tan Lejos
Destellas El Cielo
Y ahora te Celebro “
Translated that means something like:
“There are no ghosts in this house
They are pure memories
At foreign times
Good moments
The vultures flew in the sky, who announce death
The end of the times
We’ll be eternal
So many photos fill the frames, my own museum
There are not many trophies
I have them with you
And even though I carry you in my blood, it hurts me to feel you so far away
You shine in the sky
And now I’m celebrating you “
