Dos Secas

Callejeros' song 'Dos Secas' delves into the complexities and contradictions of life, using vivid metaphors and poignant imagery to explore themes of struggle, hypocrisy, and the search for meaning. The lyrics juxtapose seemingly opposing concepts, such as 'poesía maldita' (cursed poetry) and 'armonía' (harmony), to highlight the inherent conflicts in human existence. This duality is further emphasized through lines like 'la razón de luchar por la hipocresía' (the reason to fight for hypocrisy) and 'la yerba por la sal' (the herb for the salt), suggesting that life is a constant balancing act between opposing forces.

The chorus, with its repeated lines 'Ceguera por llegar, Dos secas por reír, Bobera por amar, Epitafios por vivir,' encapsulates the essence of the song. 'Ceguera por llegar' (blindness to arrive) speaks to the uncertainty and unpredictability of life's journey. 'Dos secas por reír' (two drags to laugh) implies that even moments of joy are fleeting and often require a form of escape or relief. 'Bobera por amar' (foolishness to love) reflects the irrational yet essential nature of love, while 'Epitafios por vivir' (epitaphs to live) suggests that life is a series of moments that will eventually be summarized in our epitaphs.

Callejeros, known for their socially conscious lyrics and rock influences, use 'Dos Secas' to comment on societal issues and personal struggles. Lines like 'Casi Justicia Social por la policía' (Almost Social Justice by the police) critique the failures of institutions meant to protect and serve. The song's exploration of themes like addiction, loss, and the search for wisdom ('Algo de sabiduría por llorar derrotas' - some wisdom for crying defeats) resonates deeply, making it a powerful reflection on the human condition.
