Los Niños Queremos La Paz

The song 'Los Niños Queremos La Paz' by the group 3+2 is a heartfelt plea for peace from the perspective of children. The lyrics evoke a sense of halted time, symbolized by the stopped clock at the train station, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the way violence and conflict freeze the progress of society and the development of children's lives. The song awakens a call for unity and peace in the 'corner of the heart,' suggesting that the desire for peace is an innate and universal human emotion.

The chorus, 'Canta conmigo canta / gritaremos basta ya. / Ven y dame la mano, / los niños queremos la paz,' which translates to 'Sing with me, sing / we will shout enough is enough. / Come and give me your hand, / the children want peace,' is a rallying cry for solidarity. It emphasizes the power of collective voice and action, urging people to join hands in the pursuit of a peaceful world. The repetition of this chorus throughout the song reinforces the urgency and importance of the message.

The song also conveys a message of resilience and hope, as it declares that the voices of children will travel across land and sea and that they will not be silenced. The lyrics 'No nos van a quitar / la esperanza de vivir,' meaning 'They will not take away / our hope to live,' express a determination to maintain hope for a better future, free from fear, where happiness is attainable. The song ends on a note of optimism, with the children stating their presence and their desire to sing for peace, extending the wish for a peaceful world to everyone.
