Hablar de los paisajes o lugares que se hallan presentes en el trabajo de Congreso es una tarea difícil. Se podría decir que todo el largo de Chile se pasea por su música, nunca dejando de sorprendernos, desde el multitonal altiplano nortino, a las grandes ciudades como Santiago y Valparaíso, a los bosques y lagos del sur, hasta la inmensa Patagonia, su música siempre encuentra un hogar. Estos paisajes y estos lugares son visitados por la música y se dejan introducir a través de las canciones, las palabras, las mezclas....se transforman en voces, ritmos, sonidos, que nos obligan a escuchar y descubrirlos.
Hijo del Diluvio
Congreso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
poderoso, talentoso
esa cria soy yo.
Hermano del africano
que llego de muy lejano
y conmigo sufrio.
porque vivo en las alturas
la, la, lay, casi al lado del sol
casi al lado del sol.
Chamanes, brujos y magos
junto a los padres de santo
la, la, lay, cultivaron mi ser
cultivaron mi ser
Tengo un mundo ultraterreno
mas alla del universo
que te quiero mostrar.
Nuestro mundo trascendente
que llevamos en el alma
no se vende hermano mio
a la ciencia oficial.
Amerindio a mi me dicen . . .
Continente americano
no seas tan inconciente
con tu fe y tu ancestral
hijo del sol luminoso
poderoso, talentoso
esa cria soy yo.
Amerindio a mi me dicen . . .

The lyrics to Congreso's song Hijo del Diluvio tell the story of a talented and powerful individual who identifies as an Amerindian, a descendant of the indigenous people of the Americas. The singer describes themselves as the "son of the Luminous Sun," which can be interpreted as a connection to the divine or a higher power. They also mention being a brother to an African who suffered with them, perhaps highlighting the shared struggle of marginalized peoples around the world.
The singer identifies as an Amerindian because they live in the mountains near the sun, and they were raised by shamans, witches, and magicians who cultivated their being. They claim to have a world beyond the universe that they want to show the listener, a transcendent world that is held in the soul and not sold to official science.
The song ends with the Amerindian urging the American continent not to forget its ancestral faith and culture and to remember that they are the powerful, talented children of the Luminous Sun.
