Magia

Gustavo Cerati's song 'Magia' is a poetic exploration of self-guidance and the belief in one's own intuition. The lyrics convey a strong sense of individualism and the importance of following one's own path, regardless of the destination. Cerati emphasizes the journey over the endpoint, suggesting that the experiences gained along the way are more valuable than the final outcome. The refrain 'Voy a seguir haciéndolo' which translates to 'I will continue doing it,' reinforces his commitment to this personal journey.

The song also touches on themes of transformation and the natural flow of the universe. Cerati uses metaphors like 'Las cosas brillantes siempre salen de repente' ('Bright things always come out suddenly') and the comparison to 'la geometría de una flor' ('the geometry of a flower') to illustrate the unexpected and beautiful results that can come from embracing life's spontaneity. The line 'Todo me sirve nada se pierde… Yo lo transformo' ('Everything serves me, nothing is lost... I transform it') speaks to the artist's belief in turning every experience, good or bad, into something positive.

'Magia' is ultimately about the magical feeling of being in harmony with the universe, where everything seems to conspire in one's favor. The song's title itself, 'Magia' ('Magic'), encapsulates the enchanting and mystical quality of life when one is aligned with their inner self and the world around them. Cerati's message is one of empowerment, encouraging listeners to trust in their own magic and the power of the universe to guide them.
