Some Song Lyrics (Soda Stereo)

Question

Here's a line from a Soda Stereo song (Un Millon De Anos Luz). I understand each word on it's own, but together as a sentence I can't get it to make sense.

"Nos revolcamos en el jardín por donde nadie pasa"

Answer 1

Look up: revolcar

I am sure then everything will be crystal clear (guiño)

Answer 2

while we're on the subject, here's another line from the same song:

Y mi alimento son las cenizas de una noche larga

Answer 3

We tumble in the garden where nobody goes past

Answer 4

Hello Heideta,

How are you?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it means: We roll around in the garden where nothing passes (by).

Here's the kicker......does 'por donde' have a special significance? The Por and Para section in the reference section has a table of useful phases for 'Por'.....so does por donde have a special meaning?

Mark.

Answer 5

that's about the best i can figure out too.

note of curiosity In Guatemala,Central America nos revolcamos has a sexual conotation slmilar to a roll in the hay. Of course it also means roll around on the ground
the line of the song has to have a sexual conotation, other wise he or they would of sung We strolled in the garden where no one comes by

I think revolcarse can be a bit more suggestive than to tumble. How about "to have a romp in the hay".
