Suenen Las Voces

The song 'Suenen Las Voces' by Dueto Tierra Viva is a poignant call for peace and unity in a country that has been torn apart by conflict. The lyrics paint a picture of a nation that is rich in natural beauty and resources, described as 'verde esmeralda' (emerald green), and 'bendecido por Dios y dorado por el Sol' (blessed by God and gilded by the Sun). However, this idyllic image is contrasted with the reality of a country 'desgarrado en sus entrañas' (torn apart at its core), highlighting the deep scars left by internal strife.

The song continues to describe a resilient nation 'lleno de sueños' (full of dreams) that, despite suffering, continues to smile. This resilience is a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who live there. The chorus, 'Suenen las voces, suenen las manos / Unidos podremos vivir como hermanos' (Let the voices sound, let the hands sound / United we can live as brothers), is a rallying cry for unity and collective action. The artists urge their compatriots to join together to end the war that has plagued their homeland.

The latter verses of the song address the indifference and resignation that can come from prolonged exposure to conflict, urging the nation to wake up and fight for a better future. The song ends on a hopeful note, envisioning a time when the entire country will join in the song for peace, symbolized by a flag waving as a beacon of hope. 'Suenen Las Voces' is not just a song; it's a heartfelt plea for change, a dream of harmony, and a call to action for all Colombians to work towards a peaceful future.
