Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pon tu cabeza junto a mí, quiero darte sombra
América Latina
La flor que nace en tu interior

Que tiene mil aromas me da la bienvenida
Hoy, todas tus cosas buenas salen a la luz
Hoy, tus cosas malas se harán pequeñas
Ven, acércate hacia mí, no tengas nunca miedo

A cerrarte las barreras
Tu luz, tu forma de sentir, tu magia verdadera
Atraviesa las fronteras
Hoy, todas tus cosas buenas salen a la luz
Hoy, tus cosas malas se harán pequeñas
(Desde Barcelona para todo el mundo Joe Crepúsculo)

Hoy, todas tus cosas buenas salen a la luz
Hoy, tus cosas malas se harán pequeñas

Overall Meaning

In Joe's song "Buena", he sings about Latin America and the beauty and diversity found within it. The first line, "Pon tu cabeza junto a mí, quiero darte sombra" (Put your head next to mine, I want to give you shade) represents a sense of closeness and protection. Then he mentions "América Latina", immediately establishing the geographical location of the song. Joe then refers to "La flor que nace en tu interior" (the flower that grows inside of you), which represents the beauty that each individual contains. He mentions that this beauty has "mil aromas" (a thousand aromas), and welcomes it to come out into the light.

In the chorus, he repeats the idea that today, all of your good things will come to light and your bad things will become small. He encourages the listener to approach him without fear and let their true selves shine through. He believes that their light, way of feeling, and true magic can cross any borders. The song closes with a shoutout to Barcelona, where Joe comes from, and a final repetition of the chorus.

Overall, "Buena" is a celebration of Latin America and the beauty and positivity within individuals. It encourages people to showcase their true selves and not be afraid to let their light shine.
