Volar (Con Rozalen)

The song "Volar (Con Rozalen)" by El Kanka, featuring Rozalén, is a poetic exploration of the concept of freedom and the liberation that comes with letting go of material possessions and societal expectations. The repeated phrase "Volar, lo que se dice volar, volar, volar, volar, no vuelo" translates to "Flying, what you call flying, flying, flying, flying, I don't fly," which suggests a yearning for a type of freedom that the singer has yet to fully achieve. However, the lyrics also indicate a transformative journey that the singer has embarked upon, one that involves shedding the trappings of a conventional life in pursuit of something more fulfilling.

The verses describe actions such as leaving behind a palace for an alleyway, burning script pages, and abandoning a handbag at a station. These metaphors represent a deliberate choice to break away from comfort, routine, and materialism. The singer promises that since making these changes, their feet no longer touch the ground, implying a sense of weightlessness and detachment from worldly concerns. The act of 'flying' here is symbolic of an internal state of being rather than a physical action.

The chorus reinforces the theme of release and happiness that comes from surrendering control. The singer has let go of everything they had, found happiness, and is no longer tied down by anything. There's nothing left to guard or hold onto, which allows for a metaphorical takeoff. The song celebrates the idea that true freedom comes from within and that by letting go of external attachments, one can find joy and a sense of liberation. El Kanka's music often blends elements of folk, pop, and flamenco, and this song's message is consistent with his style of using music to convey deep emotional and philosophical themes.
