Pájaros de alas cortadas
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics

The lyrics to "Pájaros de alas cortadas" tell the story of majestic birds who once flew gracefully through the air with their proud and noble wings. These birds were seen as symbols of poetry, of the soul, and of the freedom associated with the purest forms of nature. However, something has changed - the birds' wings no longer flap as they once did. Instead, they are being constrained and clipped by outside forces who are afraid of the truth and beauty that these birds represent. The "voces" referred to in the lyrics represent the individuals or systems that seek to silence and subdue the voice of the poets, whether it be through censorship, intimidation, or other forms of oppression.

As the tenderness of the evening sets in, a sense of weariness and resignation seems to permeate the air. The voices that pray for and carry out the destruction of the birds with clipped wings are drowning out the harmonious sounds of nature, leaving a feeling of sadness and emptiness behind. The lyrics are a poignant critique on the powers that be who try to control and manipulate the voice of the artists and poets in society, and how this leads to the repression of the ideals of freedom and truth. The imagery of birds with clipped wings serves as a metaphor for the struggle that artists and intellectuals face in a society that tries to silence them, highlighting the importance of fighting for our beliefs and advocating for our right to express ourselves.
