Verse 1
Death appeared like that
Almost crazy
Verse 1
Half drunk
And in that trembling instant
An angel
Spread wings
Verse 1
Strange sensation
Of splendor
Verse 1
We all fell
Into this trap
Verse 1
I took another drink of good liquor
And it was a sunbeam
That erased
The specters of that room
I went out to the street to walk
Almost crazy
Half drunk
A kid smiled at me
An angel
He gave me wings
The golden light tuned me
Something told me
That I carry on
And everything there in the Lord's vineyard
There's nothing better
Than to live trapped
In today's world
In today's world
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

SONG MEANING

Un Ángel Abrió Alas turns a late-night stumble into a mystical revelation. Fito Páez paints a cinematic moment: Death barges in like a tipsy party crasher, yet in the same shiver of fear an angel unfurls its wings, flooding the room with a blinding splendor. With one more swig of liquor the narrator watches a sun-beam sweep away every ghost, reminding us that even in the darkest hours light can break through.

Out on the street, still "casi loco, medio borracho," a child’s grin becomes another angelic sign. A golden glow ecualiza his soul and whispers, “keep going.” The chorus wraps it all up: amidst the wild vineyard of life there is nothing better than being alive right now. The song is a toast to resilience, finding beauty in chaos, and letting brief flashes of innocence guide us through the noisy, intoxicating world of today.
