I'd suggest to whoever wrote this statement better be careful in using the name of God in such a demeaning way.
Árboles de la barranca
Carlos Y José Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque no han enverdecido
Es que no los han regado con aguas del rio florido
Me puse amar a una mujer con la ilusión de amar
De esas tres que van pasando cual te gusta valedor
Esa del vestido blanco me parece la mejor
Me puse amar a una mujer con la ilusión de amar
Ya me voy ala barranca a sembrar surcos de arroz
Yo te enseñare chamaca como se mancuernan dos
Me puse amar a una mujer con la ilusión de amar
The first stanza of Carlos Y Jose's song "Arboles De La Barranca" talks about how the trees in the ravine have not turned green because they have not been watered with water from the floral river. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how love can wither and die if it is not nurtured properly. The singer then goes on to talk about how he fell in love with a woman with the hope and illusion of loving someone.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about three women passing by and he chooses the one in a white dress as the best one. This can be interpreted as a reflection of how we judge people based on appearances and first impressions. The singer then says that he will go to the ravine to plant rows of rice and teach his lover how to work together in tandem. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how cultivating love requires hard work and cooperation.
