Que Nos Lleve El Humo

In 'Que Nos Lleve El Humo,' Alika & Nueva Alianza craft a vivid narrative centered around the cultivation and appreciation of cannabis. The song begins with the discovery of a 'mansa semilla' (gentle seed) and follows its journey from planting to harvesting. This process is depicted with care and dedication, symbolizing personal growth and the nurturing of something valuable. The lyrics emphasize the patience and effort required, reflecting a deep connection to the plant and its life cycle.

The chorus, 'Aromas que vienen tricomas que van,' highlights the sensory experience of growing cannabis, with 'tricomas' referring to the resin glands on the plant. The repeated mention of 'control antiplagas' (pest control) underscores the challenges faced in maintaining a healthy crop, paralleling life's obstacles. The song also touches on the therapeutic and positive aspects of cannabis, with lines like 'Ganjah positiva todo el dia para mi vida' (positive ganjah all day for my life) suggesting its role in enhancing well-being and countering negativity.

The detailed description of the harvesting process, from drying to manicuring, illustrates the meticulous care involved. The imagery of 'dedos pegoteados tijera arruiné' (sticky fingers, ruined scissors) conveys the tangible, hands-on nature of this work. The final lines, 'que nos lleve el humo' (let the smoke take us), evoke a sense of release and transcendence, inviting listeners to embrace the calming and uplifting effects of cannabis. Through this song, Alika & Nueva Alianza celebrate the plant's cultural significance and its impact on personal and communal life.
