La Hermandad de La Costa

Brutus Daughters' song 'La Hermandad de La Costa' paints a vivid picture of a utopian pirate society where equality, loyalty, and justice reign supreme. The lyrics tell the story of a group of women who set sail in search of paradise, enduring storms and uncertainties until they finally reach an island that feels like destiny. Upon arrival, they are welcomed by the island's inhabitants, who offer them hospitality and the best of their drinks, symbolizing acceptance and camaraderie.

The song emphasizes the strong bonds of loyalty among the women, who create their own laws and celebrate their unity. This pirate paradise respects differences and upholds a code of justice that is both fierce and fair—'ojo por ojo, diente por diente' (an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth). The island becomes a haven where resources are shared, and the voice of the people rises against any form of injustice. The imagery of 'La Hermandad de La Costa' evokes a sense of freedom and communal living, where everyone contributes to the well-being of the society.

As the years pass, the women grow older and take on the role of mentors, training new warriors and ensuring the island's legacy continues. The reference to 'la isla de la tortuga' (the island of the turtle) symbolizes longevity and resilience, suggesting that this utopian society endures through time. The song concludes with a sense of timelessness, as the island remains a place of celebration and legend, where the spirit of the pirate brotherhood lives on.
