Chorus(2X)
The lyrics of MC Solaar's song "Hasta la vista" describe the rapper's role as a leader and a revolutionary. He compares himself to Fidel Castro and calls himself a star in the eyes of the people of India. The chorus talks about love without pain, and the verses describe MC Solaar's encounters with a girl named Rachel and his experiences in California with various characters, ultimately ending with the line "Hasta la vista, generique final" (Bye, final credits).
Throughout the song, MC Solaar reflects on his identity as a rapper and a leader, drawing inspiration from revolutionary figures and cultures around the world. He connects his own experiences as an immigrant and a person of color to larger movements for social justice and political change.
The chorus repeats the line "Hasta la vista, mi amor" which means "Goodbye, my love" in Spanish. This could be interpreted as a farewell to a past love or a metaphor for leaving behind old ways and embracing change.
Overall, "Hasta la vista" is a testament to MC Solaar's creative and political vision, blending hip-hop with global influences and personal experiences to create a unique and powerful message.
