The Innocence We Were Born With: A Reflection on Human Nature

Buena Fe's song "Nacimos ángeles" delves into the inherent innocence and purity with which all humans are born. The repeated assertion that "todos nacimos ángeles" (we were all born angels) serves as a powerful reminder of our original state of innocence. The lyrics emphasize that at birth, there is no guilt or blame, only purity and innocence, symbolized by the phrase "nada en el reloj de culpabilidad, todo en el reloj de la inocencia" (nothing on the clock of guilt, everything on the clock of innocence).

The song also explores how this innate innocence is often corrupted by societal influences and personal experiences. The verses touch on various aspects of life, such as the disillusionment that comes with growing up and the harsh realities of the world. For instance, the line "la fantasía que vuela el alma de los poetas, la llevan los mentirosos" (the fantasy that flies the soul of poets is carried by liars) suggests that the purity of artistic and poetic vision is often tainted by deceit and falsehoods. Similarly, the mention of selling one's body to the highest bidder highlights the commodification of what should be a sublime act of love.

Buena Fe also uses metaphors and cultural references to illustrate the challenges of maintaining one's innocence in a complex world. The proverb "árbol que nace torcido, la ciencia te lo endereza" (a tree that is born crooked, science straightens it) speaks to the potential for redemption and correction, while the line "quien lleva luz, se acostumbra a que la sombra le asecha" (whoever carries light gets used to being stalked by shadows) reflects the constant struggle between good and evil. The song ultimately calls for a return to our original state of innocence, urging us to remember that despite life's trials, we were all born as angels.
