Las Nenas de Jara (feat. Rozalén)

Ciudad Jara's song 'Las Nenas de Jara,' featuring Rozalén, is a poetic exploration of nature and the concept of home. The lyrics paint vivid images of the natural world, from the 'altos romeros del campo' (tall rosemary of the field) to 'caballos que atravesáis la niebla de los barrancos' (horses that cross the fog of the ravines). These lines evoke a sense of timelessness and connection to the earth, urging the listener to pause and appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. The repeated plea to 'detened los relojes de la Tierra' (stop the clocks of the Earth) and 'entonad el sonido del silencio' (sing the sound of silence) emphasizes the desire to escape the rush of modern life and find peace in the natural world.

The song also delves into the idea of creating a sanctuary, a home that is both whimsical and protective. The imagery of 'nuestra casa tendrá un gato tras las almenas' (our house will have a cat behind the battlements) and 'una puerta en el techo' (a door in the roof) suggests a place that is both magical and secure. The house is described as a refuge where one can 'volar' (fly) and find solace even in the face of challenges, symbolized by the 'vendaval' (gale). This metaphorical home represents a safe haven where one can retreat and find comfort, no matter the external circumstances.

The collaboration with Rozalén adds a layer of depth and warmth to the song, as her voice complements the evocative lyrics and enhances the emotional resonance. 'Las Nenas de Jara' is a celebration of the natural world and the importance of creating a personal sanctuary. It invites listeners to reflect on their own connections to nature and the spaces they call home, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the simple, yet profound, aspects of life.
