under the tilo's tree
Buenos Muchachos Lyrics

The lyrics of Buenos Muchachos's song, "Under the Tilo's Tree," tells a story of a person who is constantly anxious and stressed out, always feeling the weight of their responsibilities and the pressure to succeed. The words “Nervios, siempre nervios, fibra tensa tensa por deber” translate to “Nerves, always nerves, tense fiber, tense because of duty.” The song creates a vivid image of a person's mind as a tree, with dendrites (the branches that extend from neurons) being fried by the sun, representing the burden of too much stress.

However, the person is then saved by the presence of the Tilo's tree, represented in the line, “Hasta que me senté con él, me dio su sombra fresca, suavizándome” which translates to “Until I sat with him, he gave me his fresh shade, soothing me.” The Tilo's tree is a symbol of hope and relief, which helps the person to overcome their stress with the soothing gas of Tilo. This experience is described as a “miracle” which helped the person to feel better and calmer. The song ends on a powerful note, with the person feeling like they can take on the challenges of life and are ready to move forward with determination, screaming, “Run for your life.”
