Cosculluela
The True Value of Life: Beyond Money and Materialism
Cosculluela's song "Por Una Moneda" featuring Willy Cultura is a heartfelt ode to the intrinsic values of life that transcend monetary wealth. The lyrics emphasize the importance of family, love, and cultural roots over material possessions. The song opens with a declaration that the most beautiful things in life cannot be bought with money, setting the tone for a narrative that values emotional and cultural wealth over financial gain.
The recurring chorus, "Quien mide el valor por pura moneda, para mi que no sabe na, nada vale mas que un pedazo e' tierra y una negra para adorar," translates to "Who measures value by pure money, to me they know nothing, nothing is worth more than a piece of land and a woman to adore." This line encapsulates the song's central theme: true value lies in one's homeland and loved ones, not in monetary wealth. Cosculluela reflects on his humble beginnings in Puerto Rico, expressing gratitude for his family and the simple joys of life, such as owning a small piece of land and having a loving partner.
The verses delve deeper into Cosculluela's personal experiences and struggles. He speaks about maintaining his family through hard work and the occasional indulgence in smoking to cope with stress. The artist also touches on the socio-political issues in Puerto Rico, criticizing the government and the financial burdens it imposes on its citizens. Despite these challenges, Cosculluela finds solace in his cultural heritage and the natural beauty of his homeland, which he describes as a source of fortune and pride.
The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the values that matter most to Cosculluela: family, cultural identity, and the simple pleasures of life. The collaboration with Willy Cultura adds a layer of authenticity and cultural richness to the track, making it a powerful statement about the true essence of happiness and fulfillment.
