Mujer En Edad

Aquelarre's song 'Mujer En Edad' delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman navigating through her own emotional landscape, symbolized by actions like 'accommodating your suitcases' and 'taking the dust from where I already cleaned.' These lines suggest a process of organizing one's thoughts and emotions, and revisiting past experiences that have already been dealt with, indicating a cyclical nature of personal growth and healing.

The chorus, 'Este es tu dolor, vas donde el vacío nació, vas viendo la luz por detrás,' translates to 'This is your pain, you go where the void was born, you see the light from behind.' This metaphorical language speaks to the idea of confronting one's deepest fears and emptiness, and finding enlightenment or understanding through these dark places. The mention of 'seeing the light from behind' suggests that clarity and insight often come after enduring hardship and pain.

Furthermore, the song touches on the theme of freedom and societal expectations. The line 'En el miedo de la gente ves tu miedo, que es la libertad' translates to 'In the fear of the people, you see your fear, which is freedom.' This paradoxical statement highlights the internal conflict between the desire for freedom and the fear of the unknown that it brings. The song encourages embracing this fear as a path to true liberation. The final lines, 'En un pronto territorio las sonrisas no se deberán callar,' meaning 'In a soon-to-be territory, smiles should not be silenced,' envision a future where self-expression and joy are unrestrained, symbolizing hope and resilience.
