Huracán
Pedro Aznar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mornings of grape and wine remembering times of peace
The taste of cold at dawn, the bread warmer than the sun
I think of the cold that now inhabits my heart
There is, in the eyes of the people, the same great sadness
Because the arms of steel stop us like dams
Is that here in our land, from the mountains to the sea,
Blows a light breeze that will become a hurricane
Ah, but they don't know that one day it will be a hurricane
Friend, keep your mind alive and alert to deceit
That the right time, the precise moment, will come sooner or later
May your little children know that it is a long and hard journey,
That neither pain, wood or time can bend a wild heart
The first stanza of Pedro Aznar's "Huracan" is a reflection on the contrast of the current state of events versus the past. The clear waters shining over the fields are a symbol of the symbol of purity, contrasted with the present which has brought forth sadness, darkness and what feels like an icy feeling in one’s heart. The mornings of grape and wine represent the joy that was once enjoyed, but now has withered in time. The taste of cold at dawn and warm bread alludes to the profound differences in nature and can also be seen as a metaphor for the division in society, which is further emphasized by introspective thoughts of a man burdened by a disillusioned dream.
The second stanza addresses the power of oppression and how it inflicts sadness upon the eyes of the people, which are full of despair. The arms of steel, representing the government or the military, act as dams, which obstruct the flow of life, progress, and hope. However, the singer counters with claiming that the people don’t know what he knows. Despite adversity, their land is blessed with the gentle breeze from the mountains to the sea, originating from the land of the singer. This breeze will grow and become a hurricane, a symbol of the people’s growth in strength and power. Thus, the singer provides optimism and hope to the people.

Linda música cantada juntamente com Kleiton & Kledir. Hoje em dia, não se faz mais música assim. Se tem, é difícil de encontrar.
