Nire Poesia

Alejandro Filio's song "Nire Poesia" is a profound reflection on the simplicity and value of poetry, as well as a commentary on societal values and personal truths. The song begins with the artist declaring that his poetry is very cheap, as it is taken freely from the mouths of the people and given back to their ears without cost. This opening stanza highlights the communal and accessible nature of poetry, suggesting that true art belongs to everyone and should be shared freely.

Filio then asserts that his truth is as valuable, if not more so, than that of a banker. This comparison serves as a critique of societal values that often place monetary wealth above personal and artistic truth. By elevating his own truth to the level of financial worth, Filio challenges the listener to reconsider what is truly valuable in life. This sentiment is further emphasized in the following lines, where he lists various things that wear out over time, such as health, love, desire, vice, greed, and life itself. However, he points out that the most enduring and hardest thing in the world, money, also wears out, suggesting the impermanence of material wealth.

The song concludes with a reflection on peace and conflict. Filio advises that if someone cannot find peace in their own home, they should seek it elsewhere, but warns that if they do find peace at home, they should not seek war anywhere else, as they will lose both peace and home. This final message underscores the importance of inner peace and the futility of seeking conflict. Through these poignant lyrics, Filio encourages listeners to value simplicity, personal truth, and peace over material wealth and societal expectations.
