Crecí en Veritas Lyrics

Otra vez es Diciembre.
Afuera, fusiles cargados que salen a trabajar.
Perdonen, si estoy borracho.
Pero borracho de ansiedad.
Son tus aromas Costa Verde,
Que me hacen regresar.
Que abran fuego contra el mar.
En la calle hay como yo
Y como vos, condicionados.
Tierra caliente, hijos del sol.
Huérfanos del valor.
Si alguien aquí me censura las palabras,
Qué lástima, igual voy a cantar.
Son tus aromas Costa Verde,
Que me hacen regresar.
No hay capitanes rebelados
Que abran fuego contra el mar.
Son tus aromas Costa Verde,
Que me hacen regresar.
No hay capitanes rebelados
Que abran fuego contra el mar.
The song "Costa Verde" by Crecí en Veritas is a sentimental journey back to the artist's childhood memories of the Costa Verde district. As the opening verse mentions, time flies and December is here again, but the streets are still full of guns and violence due to political and social unrest. The singer apologizes for his drunkenness, which is actually fueled by his anxiety and nostalgia for the past.
As the chorus repeats, it is the smell and atmosphere of Costa Verde that brings the artist back to his roots. Despite the challenges of living in a tough neighborhood, there is something magical and resilient about the people who inhabit it. They may be conditioned and orphaned, but they still have the strength to face their problems and sing their hearts out.
The line "no hay capitanes rebelados que abran fuego contra el mar" is a powerful metaphor for the courage and hope that the people of Costa Verde possess. They may not have control over the violence and oppression around them, but they refuse to give up their love and connection to the sea, which represents freedom and infinite possibilities.
Overall, "Costa Verde" is an ode to the strength, beauty, and complexity of a place that is often overlooked and misunderstood.
