Coplitas para Lisandro

“Coplitas para Lisandro” by Duo Terral is a heartfelt tribute to a child named Lisandro, capturing the innocence, joy, and hope that a young life brings. The song is rich with imagery and metaphors that paint a vivid picture of the child's impact on the world around him. The opening lines speak of the sounds from Lisandro's little hands, symbolizing the promise and potential that he holds. The 'liberty of the road' and 'echo of the songs' suggest a future full of possibilities and the enduring influence of his presence.

The mornings are described as filled with excitement, with the sun metaphorically beating in Lisandro's belly, indicating a new day brimming with life and energy. The 'invisible guitar' growing in his hands is a beautiful metaphor for the innate talent and creativity that children possess, which will flourish as they grow. The song continues to describe the joy and calm that Lisandro brings, with his laughter and games providing a sense of peace and comfort to those around him.

The chorus emphasizes the freshness of the morning and the memories, reflecting the pure and refreshing nature of Lisandro's gaze and the feelings he evokes. As night approaches, the song tenderly describes Lisandro's tired eyes and the dreams that take flight, symbolizing the innocence and wonder of childhood. The moonlight in his eyes and the warmth he brings to the days are metaphors for the light and love that children bring into our lives. The song concludes with a nod to the cultural heritage, mentioning the rhythms of chacareras, a traditional Argentine folk dance, suggesting that Lisandro is a part of a larger cultural and familial tapestry, baptized by the essence of the land.
