Amniotico

Andrea Echeverrí's song 'Amniotico' is a heartfelt ode to the miracle of life and the profound connection between a mother and her unborn child. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mother experiencing the early stages of pregnancy, describing the baby as a miracle swimming in her belly. The imagery of the mother being on a boat, feeling seasick, and waiting for the baby to overcome all adversities, highlights the anticipation and emotional rollercoaster that comes with expecting a child. The phrase 'amor amniótico' (amniotic love) beautifully encapsulates the unique bond formed even before the baby is born, emphasizing love at the first kick rather than at first sight.

The song continues with the mother expressing her hopes and dreams for her child. She wishes for the child to flow like a small stream outside of her, and then grow like the Magdalena River, one of Colombia's most significant rivers. This metaphor signifies the natural and powerful growth she envisions for her child. The mention of 'subienda,' a term referring to the seasonal fish migration in the Magdalena River, symbolizes the child's journey and the challenges they will face. The mother envisions a life where the sky is the child's roof and the world is their home, filled with endless possibilities.

Echeverrí also touches on the importance of environmental consciousness and heroism. She hopes her child will take care of their 'currents,' avoid contamination, and become a hero or heroine who saves the world from ruin. This reflects a desire for the child to grow up with strong values, protecting the earth and being blessed by the stars. The song is a beautiful blend of personal emotion and broader social consciousness, making it a touching tribute to motherhood and the future generation's role in preserving the planet.
