Guren

Bastian Cortes' song 'Guren' is a powerful anthem of resilience and inner strength. The lyrics delve into the emotional journey of overcoming past traumas and finding the courage to move forward. The opening lines, 'Ninguna sombra es persistente si la luz jamás se ve diluida,' suggest that darkness cannot prevail if the light remains undiminished, setting the tone for a narrative of hope and perseverance. The singer reflects on a pivotal moment marked by a 'quebrada' (broken) voice, which becomes a catalyst for their desire to become stronger.

The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of destiny and the inevitability of facing hardships. 'En tu fuego arderá mi destino otra vez' (In your fire, my destiny will burn again) and 'El futuro nos traerá heridas y recuerdos' (The future will bring us wounds and memories) highlight the ongoing struggle and the importance of demonstrating valor. The lyrics also touch on the search for meaning and the realization that true strength comes from within, as seen in 'Buscando una respuesta estoy y aun no encuentro un motivo' (I am searching for an answer and still can't find a reason).

As the song progresses, the theme of resilience becomes more pronounced. The singer vows to continue fighting despite the absence of support, 'Aunque no haya nadie aquí, continuaré luchando' (Even if no one is here, I will continue fighting). The repeated declaration of 'valor' (valor) underscores the central message of the song: the importance of courage and determination in the face of adversity. The closing lines, 'Ahora ya sé que el día sonríe, lo peor ya pasó' (Now I know that the day smiles, the worst is over), offer a sense of closure and optimism, suggesting that the journey, though arduous, leads to a brighter future.
