Esta Saliendo El Sol

In 'Esta Saliendo El Sol,' Andrés Calamaro crafts a poetic and spiritual ode to the sun, portraying it as a divine entity that brings light, wisdom, and healing. The song opens with the acknowledgment of the sun as a god-like figure, a source of wisdom and guidance. However, the narrator admits to feeling unworthy or unprepared to fully grasp this wisdom, perhaps due to the distractions and weariness of life. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the sun's significance in the narrator's life.

The lyrics reveal a sense of exhaustion and longing for rest, yet the narrator is compelled to rise and greet the sun, seeking its blessing and light. This act of rising despite fatigue symbolizes resilience and the pursuit of spiritual nourishment. The sun's light is depicted as a daily blessing, a source of strength and comfort that helps the narrator cope with life's challenges. The repeated invocation of the sun as 'Padre sol nuestro' (Our Father Sun) and the plea for guidance reflect a deep spiritual connection and reliance on this celestial body for emotional and spiritual sustenance.

Calamaro's lyrics also touch on themes of faith and gratitude. The sun's unwavering presence and its ability to uplift the narrator during difficult times are celebrated, and there is a heartfelt plea for the sun to continue shining. The song concludes with a prayer-like affirmation, 'La luz nuestra de cada día, danoslé hoy, que así sea, amén' (Our daily light, give it to us today, so be it, amen), reinforcing the idea of the sun as a vital, life-giving force. Through this song, Calamaro beautifully intertwines elements of nature, spirituality, and human emotion, creating a rich tapestry of meaning and reflection.
