Los Guaraguao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad
que ser joven señores
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
Nadie nos comprende
estamos solos y aislados,
por eso tomamos
caminos equivocados.
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
Ellos dicen que el futuro
de nuestra Venezuela está
en la juventud de ahora
y no nos dejan estudiar.
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
Como nos atormentan
con su autoridad,
ellos creen ser dueños
de la humanidad.
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
A través de la historia
siempre ha sido igual
el joven ha luchado
por su libertad.
Qué pasa en el mundo,
en la humanidad.
que el joven de ahora
no puede vivir en
paz (2 veces)
Por eso les digo
canten conmigo a todo dar,
juventud de todo el mundo
siempre, siempre amor
y pa-a-a-a-az.
"Que Pasa en el Mundo" by Los Guaraguao is a song that addresses the current state of the world, particularly the difficulties young people face in finding peace and a sense of belonging in contemporary society. The song begs the question, "What is happening in humanity?" as it highlights the struggles of the younger generation who are forced to take the wrong paths due to feeling misunderstood and isolated. Though the song is in Spanish, the lyrics are powerful enough to convey the universal message of the challenges faced by the younger generations across the globe.
The song opens with "Qué pasa en el mundo, en la humanidad, que el joven de ahora no puede vivir en paz," which roughly translates to "What is happening in the world, in humanity, that the young people of now cannot live in peace?". Los Guaraguao further explore the theme of young people being misunderstood and alienated by society. They also touch on the issue that young people are often seen as the future hope for a better world, but the very same ones are powerless when it comes to making decisions about their own future. The lyrics address the struggle of the young people in Venezuela, who are denied education and opportunities for a better life, and the way authority figures often misuse their power and think they own the world.
In summation, "Que Pasa en el Mundo" by Los Guaraguao is a song that is relevant even today. The song calls on societies to listen to and support younger generations, to create a more peaceful and inclusive society. The song is not only about struggling to get along with authority figures or feeling isolated but also a celebration of hope for a better world - the 'always love and peace' - that young people across the world can unite around.
