Lamento
Aztra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se oyen las voces resquebrajar
Soplan vientos de agonía
brazos extraños
rompen nuestro cantar.
Ritos, golpes, ruidos
Días enteros
de oscuridad
Llantos grises
en nuestros niños
a prepararse
para pelear
son nuestros hijos
van a luchar
son nuestros hijos
van a triunfar...
No tengo palabras cubiertas
que griten al viento su ausencia
solo me resta llorar por el cielo
en busca de un solitario cuento
del frío y la noche helada
transformaremos su fuego
el fuego en armas y en cuentos
en busca del viento y libertad
para nuestros pueblos
las extrañan
y por siempre las aman
Ritos, golpes, ruidos
soplan la luz
días enteros
de oscuridad
Llantos grises
en nuestros niños
a prepararse
para pelear
son nuestros hijos
van a luchar
son nuestros hijos
van a triunfar...
The song "Lamento" by Aztra is a powerful and emotional reflection on the struggle for freedom and liberation. The opening lines describe a fiery night in the heights, and the sound of voices cracking. The winds of agony blow, and strange arms break their singing. The following lines speak of rituals, noise, and blows that extinguish the light, leaving them in complete darkness for days. The children cry gray tears, but they must prepare to fight. They are the sons and daughters of their people, and they will fight and triumph.
The second stanza speaks of the absence of words to express their pain and longing. The only option left is to cry for the sky and search for a solitary tale among the cold and frozen night. They will transform their fire into weapons and stories, searching for the wind and freedom for their nations. They miss their loved ones and will always love them.
The song provides a sharp commentary on oppression and the need for revolution. The lyrics evoke images of a people who have been silenced and oppressed, but who are determined to rise up and fight for their rights. The chorus is a powerful chant of determination and hope, a call to arms for the next generation of fighters.
