Promesas

The song 'Promesas' by Barak is a heartfelt expression of faith and trust in the divine, despite the absence of physical evidence. The opening lines, 'Aunque no te pueda ver, Seguro puedo estar, De que tú me escuchas,' translate to 'Although I cannot see you, I can be sure, That you hear me.' This sets the tone for the song, which is about the certainty of being heard and cared for by a higher power, even when that presence is not visible.

The lyrics delve into the theme of faith being cultivated in silence, a faith that the singer has nurtured through the quiet moments of life. The phrase 'En el silencio de, Tus labios cultivé, La fe que deseaste ver' suggests that in the silence of God's lips, the singer has grown the faith that God wished to see. This indicates a deep, personal relationship with the divine, one that is based on trust and the belief in promises made.

The chorus speaks of the comfort and protection found in this faith, with the singer feeling embraced by 'Brazos que guardan' or 'Arms that protect' while in the presence of the divine. The repeated lines 'En ti descansaré, Tú eres mi escudo, Tú mi amigo fiel' translate to 'In you, I will rest, You are my shield, You my faithful friend,' reinforcing the idea of God as a protector and a reliable companion. The song is a testament to the power of belief and the peace that comes from trusting in the promises of a higher power.
