Azul Violeta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la tierra casi muere, nuestra madre sufre amargamente
importa mas la ciencia que la vida misma
miles de especies mueren cada dia
no hay remedio esto es irreversible
el aire es un veneno y causa estragos
muy graves a la salud
las generaciones por venir no nos van a perdonar, no
respetala, respetala, respetala, respetala.
Su labor perfecta solo falla cuando
el hombre impone su poder
la huella es evidente
con este paso nada
vamos a dejar no vamos a dejar
la naturaleza es sabia
tiene ciclos de purificacion
y hay que aprender de ella
nosotros no le vamos a enseñar no
respetala
es justa y sabia
respetala
y nunca falla
respetala
es nuestra madre
respetala
y aun nos ama
respetala
sea negra o blanca
respetala
no hay diferencia
respetala
nos dio la vida
respetala
hay que salvarla
The lyrics of Azul Violeta's song "Respétela" speak to the urgent need for respecting and protecting the environment. The singer admits to feeling a sickening of the soul, brought on by actions that have contaminated the water and brought the earth to the brink of death. Despite the palpable suffering of our mother earth, the singer notes that society tends to prioritize science over life itself. The consequences of this choice are dire: countless species perish each day, and there seems to be no remedy that can reverse the damage that has been done. Even the air has become a poison that harms many lives, and future generations won't be able to forgive the current ones if they fail to act now.
The chorus of the song underscores the importance of treating our planet with respect. The singer implores the listener to respect our mother earth in all her forms, whether she is black or white. She never fails to be just and wise, and she continues to love us even though we have caused her harm. The final lines of the song emphasize how essential it is to save our planet from further destruction, and to recognize that we cannot teach nature anything—instead, we must learn from her.
Azul Violeta's song was inspired by the environmental crisis that the world is facing, and the importance of taking action to mitigate the damage. Its message is a call to action, urging people to respect our planet and take steps to protect it. By acknowledging the harm that has already been done and recognizing the role that humans have played in creating the crisis, "Respétela" offers a poignant plea for accountability, respect, and change.
