Brazil
Porristas Lyrics

The opening lines "Lo mejor de ayer, lo peor de hoy" (The best of yesterday, the worst of today) in Porristas's song "Brazil" highlight the theme of change and how it affects our perceptions of what’s good and bad. The lyrics suggest that good and bad experiences from the past can influence how we approach the future, but ultimately we have to face whatever comes our way. The references to shields and walls - "Son escudos y son paredes" - implies that we use our pasts as a form of protection, but that we have to be careful not to let it hold us back too much.

The chorus reinforces the message that we should neither leave nor stay. "No te vayas y no te quedes" means "Don't go and don't stay." This ambiguity speaks to the sense of uncertainty that we feel when facing change. We may not know what’s coming, but we don't want to be stuck in one place either. The lyrics also highlight the idea that words have power and that they can be like songs. They can bring people together or push them apart.

In the second verse, the lyrics "El hombre que no quiere comprender, Sobre lo que puede sostener," suggests that people who refuse to understand what they’re capable of or what they can hold onto are the ones that struggle most with change. This verse speaks to human nature and how we often hold ourselves back by not believing what we are capable of.
