Jardines

Chancha Via Circuito's song "Jardines" is a poetic exploration of growth, dreams, and the interconnectedness of life. The lyrics begin with the metaphor of a garden, symbolizing the start of something new and the nurturing required for it to flourish. The garden starts with a seed and a vision, which are nourished by sunlight, representing hope and the potential for growth. The repeated encouragement to "sigue así" (keep going) underscores the importance of perseverance and dedication in achieving one's dreams. The imagery of watering dreams and the presence of life in the body suggests a deep connection between personal aspirations and physical existence.

The song also delves into themes of love and companionship. The desire to follow and support a loved one is evident in the lines "Quiero ir, quiero ir, detrás tuyo quiero ir" (I want to go, I want to go, behind you I want to go). This reflects a longing to share in the journey and to build a new world together, possibly on another planet or universe. The references to a "corazón de paja" (heart of straw) and "alma de lava" (soul of lava) evoke a sense of vulnerability and passion, while "saliva de pan" (bread saliva) and being a "colombiano sin ancestros" (Colombian without ancestors) hint at a complex identity and heritage.

The vivid imagery of red and yellow flowers, the Magdalena River, and pink dolphins creates a rich, almost magical landscape. These elements symbolize beauty, nourishment, and a connection to nature. The desire to be like the breeze, to intertwine with a loved one's hair and experience their smile, speaks to an intimate and profound connection. The recurring motif of light, "viene tu luz, acurrucada en la raiz" (your light comes, nestled in the root), suggests that the essence of the loved one is deeply embedded in the foundation of life, providing guidance and inspiration.
