Partes Del Campo (parte 2)

Buenos Muchachos' song "Partes Del Campo (parte 2)" is a vivid and poetic exploration of the rural landscape, capturing the essence of the countryside through evocative imagery and metaphors. The lyrics paint a picture of a serene yet harsh environment, where the wind whistles through the posts and the night is frosted over. This setting creates a sense of isolation and tranquility, as the landscape freezes under a vast, icy mantle. The mention of a small hill losing the horizon and a creaking windmill adds to the rustic and somewhat melancholic atmosphere.

The song also delves into the simple pleasures and rituals of rural life. The reference to watered-down red wine and the request for another glass suggests a moment of respite and camaraderie, perhaps around a campfire or in a humble abode. The mention of a "trapera" guitar and the imagery of the sun setting behind the horizon evoke a sense of timelessness and the enduring beauty of nature. The repetition of "the sun is brightning" emphasizes the powerful and life-giving force of the sun, a central element in the rural setting.

As the song progresses, it continues to weave together images of the countryside, such as the foam swirling in a mate (a traditional South American drink) and the sunset reflecting on the water. The sight of plovers grazing in the inert field and the stars growing in the sky further enriches the tapestry of rural life. Buenos Muchachos masterfully captures the essence of the countryside, blending the harshness and beauty of nature with the simple, enduring traditions of rural living.
