Ángeles

In 'Ángeles,' DELLAFUENTE crafts a poignant tribute to his grandmother, weaving a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The song opens with a heartfelt acknowledgment of his grandmother's unwavering faith and dedication to her family. The imagery of 'estampitas' (holy cards) by her bedside and her limited outings to medical appointments paints a vivid picture of a life devoted to others. This dedication is further emphasized by the line 'Vivir to'a la vida pa' tus niños y pa' tus nietos,' highlighting the selflessness that defines her existence.

The song then transitions to a reflection on the family's current state. Despite the challenges they face, there is a sense of resilience and contentment. The lyrics 'Ya casi no quedan cicatrices' suggest that while they have endured hardships, the wounds are healing. DELLAFUENTE's candid admission that things are not perfect, yet not entirely dire, adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative. This duality of struggle and perseverance is a recurring theme, underscored by the refrain 'Estoy consiguiendo tirar p'alante,' which translates to 'I am managing to move forward.'

A significant portion of the song delves into the artist's complex relationship with faith. He confesses to having stopped praying years ago, disillusioned by the pain he associated with his beliefs. The line 'Tus dioses solo me hacían daño' reveals a deep-seated conflict, yet there is an almost involuntary reverence in 'Digo Dios bendiga pero casi sin quererlo.' This ambivalence towards faith is a powerful commentary on the struggle between inherited beliefs and personal experiences. The song concludes on a hopeful note, with DELLAFUENTE expressing a sense of achievement and forward momentum, symbolized by the recurring line 'Estoy consiguiendo tirar p'alante.' This closing sentiment encapsulates the essence of the song: a journey of resilience, reverence, and the relentless pursuit of a better future.
