Vamos Corazón (Balada para Mario Conde)

“Vamos Corazón (Balada para Mario Conde)” by Buena Fe is a poignant exploration of emotional renewal and the struggle to reignite passion in life. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a heart that has grown weary and disillusioned, colored in sepia tones and reds, symbolizing a life that has lost its vibrancy. The imagery of kisses that are poorly dressed in passion suggests a love that has endured more than it desired, hinting at a sense of resignation and fatigue.

The song speaks to the heart directly, urging it to feel again despite the coldness it has experienced. The plea, “Vamos corazón hazme sentir si no quieres,” translates to “Come on heart, make me feel even if you don’t want to,” encapsulating the desperation to break free from apathy and rediscover desire. The heart is encouraged to not rely solely on beliefs but to embrace genuine emotion, highlighting the tension between rationality and feeling.

Buena Fe’s lyrics also touch on the theme of change and renewal, with the advice to change the ground every ten years, symbolizing the need for periodic reinvention to avoid stagnation. The heart is urged to open up and not hide anything, to let everything be felt, suggesting a journey towards authenticity and emotional honesty. The song concludes with a reflection on the importance of friends and the paths they offer back to what one loves, emphasizing the role of relationships in personal growth and renewal. The repeated phrase “Cambiando de jaula” or “Changing cages” signifies the ongoing process of transformation and the quest for a new beginning.
