Nostalgia
Control Machete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Poco educado, bastante enjuiciado
Labro la tierra con mi propia mano
Día tras día sudando amor
Siempre guardando el sustento de hoy

Largo el camino contra el destino
Frente en alto, lo que es mío es mío
No lo he robado, jale y lo gane
Aunque con poco sigo siendo el rey

Resulta que sigo siendo un ser
Hubo lluvia el día de ayer
Resulta que siempre vendrá después
Lluvia hubo, hubo lluvia ayer

A veces creo que no daré más
He mantenido caliente mi hogar
Tal vez no tenga monedas de oro
Pero todo lo que tengo lo añoro

Lunas y lunas de nostalgia plena
Mañana sin sombra, tarde serena
¿Quién ha de ser el bendecido dueño?
El que trabaja y alimenta un sueño

Resulta que sigo siendo un ser
Hubo lluvia el día de ayer
Resulta que siempre vendrá después
Lluvia hubo, hubo lluvia ayer

Es cierto que de noche en desierto
Juega la luna entre espacio y viento
Como es cierto que este momento
Resulta parte de un balance eterno

Es cierto, no solo por esta vez
Llega tormenta y calma después
Como es cierto el horizonte
El silencio y la lluvia de ayer

Resulta que sigo siendo un ser
Hubo lluvia el día de ayer




Resulta que siempre vendrá después
Lluvia hubo, hubo lluvia ayer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nostalgia" by Control Machete describe the struggles and hardships of a hardworking laborer, who tirelessly works to provide for himself and his family. The first verse describes someone who may not have had much formal education but has a strong sense of justice and labors tirelessly on his own to cultivate the land and earn his livelihood with honest means. This is reflected in the line "Labro la tierra con mi propia mano" which translates to 'I work the earth with my own hand'. The second verse talks about the person's resilience against destiny and his pride in his hard-earned possessions, which were not stolen but won through hard work. The chorus echoes the theme of the resilience of the human spirit and the inevitability of life's ups and downs, symbolized by the rain that always comes and goes.


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics adopt a philosophical and reflective theme. The imagery of the moon and the desert highlight the transience of human existence and the balance that exists in the universe. The final verse acknowledges that life will always have its good and bad moments, but what defines us as humans is our ability to persist and overcome tribulations.


Overall, "Nostalgia" celebrates the strength, resilience, and hard work of the working class and highlights the cyclical nature of life.
