Los Guaraguao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
madre déjame luchar
madre cómo te adoro
porque quiero a mi pueblo
y tú me enseñaste
a luchar por él
Tú me enseñaste
a compartir mi amor
a compartir mis sueños
Yo quiero ahora
compartir mis brazos
con los mismos
que te abrazo
quiero abrazar a mi pueblo
Madre déjame luchar
madre déjame luchar
Tú me enseñaste
a no matar las mariposas
que no cortara las rosas
que en tu jardín cultivabas
Fui aprendiendo poco a poco
a querer a los demás
Por los humildes
madre déjame luchar
madre déjame luchar
madre déjame luchar
(recitado)
"y porque recuerdas madre
que un día tocó a nuestra puerta
un niño pidiendo pan
y me hiciste que le diera
aquella camisa vieja
con que yo jugaba metras
y si eras buena cristiana
espero que tú comprendas
que la lucha por los hombres
no se hace por caridad"
Madre déjame luchar
mama déjame luchar
Tú me enseñaste
a no matar las mariposas
que no cortara las rosas
que en tu jardín cultivabas
Fui aprendiendo poco a poco
a querer a los demás
Por los humildes
madre déjame luchar
madre déjame luchar
mama déjame luchar
The song "Madre" by Los Guaraguao is a heartfelt tribute to the singer's mother and the lessons she taught him about fighting for his people. The chorus repeats the lines "Madre déjame luchar," which translate to "Mother, let me fight," emphasizing the singer's desire to stand up for his community. He expresses his deep love and adoration for his mother and how she taught him to share and care for others. As he grew up, he learned to appreciate and love those who were less fortunate and to fight for their rights.
The singer reflects on his mother's teachings, particularly about not harming nature and embracing the humble. She taught him not to kill butterflies or cut the roses she loved to cultivate in her garden. He acknowledges that it was a gradual process, but he slowly learned to value and care for his fellow human beings. He operates under the belief that fighting for the dispossessed isn't an act of charity, but rather a fundamental human duty.
The song is a poignant tribute to the importance of learning from one's parents and standing up for justice. It encourages social action, compassion, and empathy towards fellow beings. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the instrumentation and melody underscore the heartwarming sentimentality of the piece.
