Bienvenida Campesina
Mocedades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Qué pasó? ¿Qué te animó?
¿Porqué subiste al tren
y te viniste campesina?
¿Qué tentó tu vanidad?
¿Qué te hizo abandonar
la soledad de tus encinas?

Bienvenida campesina
bienvenida a la ciudad.
Campesina, campesina
tus colores ¿dónde están?

¿Quién borró tu ingenuidad
el brillo de tu piel
y tu sonrisa, campesina?
¿Qué pasó? ¿Quién te engañó?
¿Qué esperas conseguir
acurrucada en esa esquina?
Y allí te quedarás
y a otras les dirás.

Bienvenida campesina
bienvenida a la ciudad.




Campesina, campesina
tus colores ¿dónde están?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mocedades's song Bienvenida Campesina tell the story of a country girl who has come to the city, leaving behind the solitude of her life in the countryside. The singer asks her why she left, what tempted her vanity and what made her abandon the simplicity and beauty of nature. The arrival of the campesina to the city is celebrated with a welcoming message, with the singer expressing curiosity about the girl's experience in the new surroundings. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of sadness and melancholy as the singer wonders about the loss of innocence and joy that the campesina appears to have experienced since coming to the city. There is a tone of caution that suggests the city has not treated her well and that she may be in danger of losing her identity and her true colors.


The lyrics of Bienvenida Campesina are reflective of the cultural, social, and political context of Spain in the 1970s, where the rural exodus was in full swing, with many people leaving their villages for opportunities in cities. The song's message is that, while the city may offer promise and aspiration, it is also a place that can destroy one's identity and disconnect from nature. The song highlights the struggle between tradition and modernity that was typical of Spain in the 1970s as the country transitioned out of a period of dictatorship into democracy.
