Caravana

Gustavo Cerati · Ahí Vamos [2006]

Dime nena qué nos toca hoy

ya puedo adivinar tu ausencia

solo hay espacio entre los dos

lo decidiste antes que yo

La caravana de miradas

se lleva algo de mi esencia

estoy cercado por la ciencia

y nadie me verá mañana

Hay que cerrar los ojos para poder ver

el diablo no es más que un ángel

con ansias de poder

Acabemos con la sensación

la jaula siempre estuvo abierta

pacto que el viento se llevó

lo que resista te lo doy

La caravana de miradas

se lleva algo de mi esencia

estoy cercado por la ciencia

y nadie me verá mañana

Hay que cerrar los ojos para poder ver

el diablo no es más que un ángel con ansias de poder

Caravana

Gustavo Cerati's "Caravana" stands as a defining track from his 2006 album "Ahí Vamos," showcasing the melodic sophistication and emotional depth characteristic of his work with Soda Stereo. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of rock and pop sensibilities, featuring Cerati's distinctive vocal delivery and intricate guitar work that became a hallmark of Argentine music in the 1990s and beyond. Released decades after the group's initial prominence, this recording highlights Cerati's continued mastery as a solo artist, maintaining the atmospheric quality and rhythmic drive that fans have long associated with his discography. The track remains a staple in the repertoire of listeners who appreciate the evolution of his musical style from the punk-influenced early days to the more polished, orchestral arrangements found in later albums like "11 Episodios Sinfónicos" and "Reversiones." Its enduring appeal underscores the timeless nature of Cerati's songwriting and his ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations.
