Los invisibles

Callejeros' song "Los invisibles" is a poignant tribute to the marginalized and overlooked individuals in society who continue to fight for survival and dignity despite overwhelming odds. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of resilience and perseverance, highlighting the daily struggles of those who are often ignored or forgotten. The phrase "tener que seguir" (having to continue) sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the relentless need to keep moving forward, to feed oneself and one's family, even when the odds are stacked against them.

The song's chorus, "Luchando sin atajos, los invisibles" (fighting without shortcuts, the invisible ones), underscores the idea that these individuals are engaged in a constant battle without any easy solutions or shortcuts. They are described as agitating with "rocanroles irresistibles" (irresistible rock and rolls), suggesting that their spirit and energy are unyielding, even in the face of adversity. The imagery of being "con frío, pero abrazados" (with cold, but embraced) and offering an "inoxidable oración" (stainless prayer) further illustrates their unwavering solidarity and hope, despite their harsh realities.

Callejeros also touches on the generational aspect of this struggle, with the line "piden que sus críos se salven y no piden más" (they ask that their children be saved and ask for nothing more). This reflects a deep-seated desire for a better future for their children, even if they themselves continue to suffer. The song is a powerful reminder of the invisible battles fought by many and serves as a call for recognition and empathy towards those who live on the fringes of society.
