Sig Ragga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muchas palabras para ocultárselo al mundo
Antes de muerto quiero escuchar la canción
De todas las cadenas que se rompen
Ahora ves, pueden perseguirnos
Pero no, no podrán callarnos
La verdad no sabe de enemigos
Cuando la historia hablar es por amor
A la libertad
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Tendrán que matarte otra vez
Ha vuelto a nacer otro hombre
Y cuantos también nacerán
Que luchen por lo que añoraste
Tu herida fue el mundo que viste
Para embellecerlo con tinta y amor
Para conservar su conciencia
Tendrán que matarnos también
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
Miran desde el cielo
The lyrics of Sig Ragga's song "Severino Di Giovanni" express the need for resolution of identity: "Quienes somos? Es lo que hay que resolver" ("Who are we? That's what needs to be resolved"). The words used to describe ourselves are often manipulated and distorted, hidden from the world in order to maintain a certain image. The singer wants to break free from these chains and listen to a song that celebrates the breaking of chains. This song speaks of freedom and love, and how the truth cannot be silenced, even by those who would try to persecute us.
The song pays homage to Severino Di Giovanni, an Italian anarchist who fought for the liberation of the working class and was executed in Argentina in 1931. He is described as a man who left a wound in the world, but one that was covered in ink and love to make it beautiful. Despite his death, his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who fight for freedom and justice. The chorus repeats the phrase "Miran desde el cielo" ("They watch from the sky"), suggesting that those who have passed on are still present and observing, perhaps offering guidance and inspiration to continue the struggle.
Overall, the lyrics of "Severino Di Giovanni" inspire listeners to fight for their beliefs and to never give up in the face of adversity. They speak of the power of truth and the importance of remembering those who have fought before us. The song carries a strong message of hope and perseverance, encouraging listeners to keep moving forward.
