Patria Divina
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

In "Patria Divina," Francisco Céspedes compares the world to the human soul, and asserts that it is the collective souls of people that give shape to the world. He describes the people as having a naked gaze and a lived laughter, but also acknowledges that they can be silenced by loneliness. Céspedes suggests that destiny brings with it old scents and pathways that always seem to recur from times past. He finishes with an appeal to the "beloved homeland" that may be hidden behind another life, but never forgotten.

The lyrics are quite reflective and intimate, calling for a meaningful engagement with one's own culture and identity, as well as an appreciation of the broader human experience, which is summed up in the metaphorical language of the soul and the world. In a sense, the song can be read as a poetic reflection on the challenges of finding oneself, and of building a sense of belonging and purpose amidst the complexity of a globalized world.
