The Power and Persistence of Voice in DLD's 'Mi Voz'
DLD's song 'Mi Voz' delves into the profound significance of one's voice and its enduring impact, even in the face of adversity. The lyrics open with a candid admission of not being as well as perceived, hinting at past traumas ('Las esquirlas del ayer / Hicieron llagas en mi ser'). This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the role and resilience of the voice, both literally and metaphorically. The voice here symbolizes not just speech but the essence of one's identity, thoughts, and dreams.
The recurring question, '¿Qué será mi voz? / ¿Se callará? / ¿O gritará la verdad?' reflects an internal struggle between silence and the courage to speak one's truth. This is a universal theme, resonating with anyone who has faced the dilemma of whether to remain silent or to express their true feelings and beliefs. The song suggests that even if the voice is silenced ('Si mi voz se apagará'), the thoughts and dreams ('Los pensamientos no' and 'Los sueños permanecen') remain alive and potent. This highlights the indomitable nature of human spirit and aspiration.
Furthermore, the lyrics touch on the responsibility of passing on knowledge and wisdom ('Si el deber es enseñar, a todo el que viene detrás / Yo con gusto educaré a todo el que quiera aprender'). This underscores a sense of duty to future generations, ensuring that the voice, in its broader sense, continues to influence and inspire. DLD's 'Mi Voz' is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of our inner voice and the importance of nurturing and expressing it, despite the challenges we may face.
