Pirata
La Muza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sus esperanzas quedan en las manos de la desesperacion
se alimenta de imagenes en la tele mas preocupacion
pasa noches despierta aveces le llora y le pide a dios
increible una vida robada, por culpa de una nacion
aunque muchos regresan este pobre hijo nunca llego
almas llenas dee gran malicia
se divierten con un cañon
creen que esa es la solucion
hablan de luchar por la patria
sangre cae por su desgracia
culpa del pirata mayor
que se ahorra todito el sudor
con un pesame fotocopiado tratan de aliviar dolor
a una madre que toda la vida lucho y sola lo crio
increible como un presidente sigue con su divercion
muchos arriesgan su vida y el disfrutando de su ambision
cuantos años de lucha por la livertad que gran desepcion
porque aun nos controlan somos marionetas de babylon
cuando acabara la injusticia
almas llenas dee gran malicia
se divierten con un cañon
creen que esa es la solucion
hablan de luchar por la patria
sangre cae por su desgracia
culpa del pirata mayor
que se ahorra todito el sudor
VIOLA!
The lyrics to La Muza's song Pirata delve into the devastating impact of war on families, particularly mothers who are left behind to worry and pray for their sons who have been sent off to fight. The first lines convey the desperation of a mother pleading with the heavens to keep her son safe in the battalion. She is left with nothing but images on the television and constant worry, spending sleepless nights crying and praying to God. The pain and uncertainty expressed in the lyrics are palpable, painting a vivid picture of the toll that war takes on those who are left behind.
The song goes on to highlight the harsh reality that many soldiers do not return home, leaving their families devastated and heartbroken. The line "although many return, this poor son never did" speaks to the tragedy of those who lose their lives in military service. The lyrics also touch on the injustice and corruption of those who send soldiers off to war, benefiting from their sacrifice while remaining safely removed from the combat. The image of a president enjoying his own diversions while others put their lives at risk is especially powerful, highlighting the disconnect between those in power and the families affected by war.
Overall, the lyrics to Pirata are a poignant and thought-provoking commentary on the devastating impact of war on families and the need for greater accountability and justice.
