Como El Cordero

Buenayunta's song 'Como El Cordero' delves into the intricate dance of navigating life's challenges and the perpetual quest for self-improvement. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is constantly learning from their experiences, even when those experiences are fraught with difficulty. The opening lines, 'No me preguntes como me acostumbro / Si yo me alumbro con lo que puedo,' suggest a resilience and adaptability, highlighting the human capacity to find light and guidance in whatever way possible to avoid repeating past mistakes.

The metaphor of the lamb ('cordero') is central to the song, symbolizing vulnerability and innocence. The lines 'No me amagues, no ves que me pongo confiado como el pobre cordero / Olvido pastar sin querer, y hasta a veces me entrego / Al filo brillante de un diente que viene hacia el cuello' evoke a sense of trust and naivety that can lead to danger. This imagery underscores the theme of being both the master and the slave of one's own disillusionment, as the protagonist grapples with the consequences of their trust and the harsh realities of life.

The song also touches on the importance of action over words, as seen in the lines 'No quiero mas suaves palabras / Quiero probar los hechos.' This reflects a desire for tangible change and a break from empty promises. The recurring theme of returning to try again, despite past failures, speaks to an enduring hope and determination to achieve meaningful transformation. 'Como El Cordero' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, resilience, and the continuous journey towards self-betterment.
