Por Nacer

The song 'Por Nacer' by Almafuerte is a powerful and evocative piece that delves into themes of social justice, corruption, and the struggle for truth. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of disillusionment with the societal and political structures that govern the nation. The opening lines, 'Por nacer, en este suelo. Hice un pacto yo con Dios o tal vez fue con el diablo, no lo sé,' suggest a sense of destiny or fate tied to the land of one's birth, hinting at a moral or existential struggle that the narrator faces.

The song continues to explore the idea of silence and complicity, with the mandate 'de no callar lo que tanto se calló,' emphasizing the importance of speaking out against injustices that have long been ignored. This is a call to break the silence and confront the uncomfortable truths that have been buried. The lyrics also criticize those who turn a blind eye to these issues, 'Después, parece no importarle. A quién, parece no sentir,' highlighting the apathy and indifference that often accompany privilege and power.

Almafuerte's lyrics also touch on the exploitation and oppression of the working class, 'El orejero cipayo del patrón. De quien decreto o palazo manda sean ley,' painting a vivid picture of the systemic abuse and the enforcement of unjust laws to protect the interests of the powerful. The song's closing lines, 'Donde yo, soñando estoy morir. Como quién soñando está crecer,' juxtapose the dreams of growth and progress with the harsh reality of a life marred by struggle and resistance. Through 'Por Nacer,' Almafuerte delivers a poignant message about the need for awareness, action, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
