Querencia de mi sentir

Duo Coplanacu's song 'Querencia de mi sentir' is a heartfelt ode to their homeland, capturing the essence of their cultural and natural heritage. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's deep connection to their land, filled with love and reverence. The song begins with the artist expressing how they have learned to feel a profound love for their land, symbolized by the sweet carob trees that fill their soul and heart. This connection is not just personal but shared with the children (changuitos) who feel the same way, highlighting a communal bond with nature and tradition.

The song continues to explore the joy and fulfillment found in simple, everyday activities like fishing in the river and experiencing the gifts of nature. The artist finds happiness in the magic that inhabits their surroundings, from the singing of birds to the sun tanning the skin of the people of Santiago. This imagery evokes a sense of belonging and contentment, where the natural world and human life are intertwined in a harmonious existence.

In the latter part of the song, the artist reflects on the ancient rituals and traditions that have been passed down through generations, imbuing their life with beauty and meaning. The fruit of these traditions matures over time, transforming into song and emotion shared with friends. The imagery of climbing the tallest tree and calling out to a departed brother as a Kakuy (a mythical bird) symbolizes a deep spiritual connection and the enduring bonds of family and community. The song concludes with the sounds of guitar, drum, and violin, representing the musical heritage that ties everything together, creating a sense of home and happiness.
