Buscando la gente
Jose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no es más sabio
El quien más habla
Que nadie es más grande
Que nadie
Que somos todos iguales
Dice la Gente Del Sur
El color de tu piel
Que lo que importa en esta vida
Es saber para creer
Ay!! Reiré, reiré, reenvío
(Bis)
In José's song Buscando la gente, he highlights the wisdom of the people of the South. He specifically touches on two points of their wisdom. Firstly, the people of the South assert that the person who speaks the most is not necessarily the wisest. This is a subtle jab at people who talk too much and do not take the time to listen and reflect on what they hear. Secondly, the people of the South believe in equality, and that nobody is greater than anyone else. This wisdom is particularly important in a world where people are quick to judge each other based on irrelevant factors.
The message in this song is clear- love and respect for one another is key to living a fulfilling life. The people of the South are seen as possessing the wisdom needed to achieve this goal. José highlights the importance of being open-minded and accepting of others regardless of their skin color. In essence, it is the actions we take and not the words we utter that make us wise.
Overall, Buscando la gente emphasizes the importance of kindness, equality, and understanding. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and broaden our perspectives so that we can be better global citizens.
