De Este Lado

In 'De Este Lado,' Emanero delivers a powerful and unflinching critique of societal and governmental failures. The song's title, which translates to 'On This Side,' signifies the artist's unwavering commitment to standing with the oppressed and marginalized. Emanero's lyrics are a rallying cry against corruption, inequality, and the systemic issues that plague his community. He emphasizes his steadfastness, repeating that he is 'de este lado,' reinforcing his solidarity with those who suffer under unjust systems.

Emanero's verses are filled with vivid imagery and stark realities. He speaks of hunger, police brutality, and the government's neglect of its people. The line 'La gente se muere de hambre, el gobierno te ata todo con alambres' (People are dying of hunger, the government ties everything with wires) paints a grim picture of a society held together by fragile and inadequate measures. His words resonate with the frustration and anger of those who feel abandoned by their leaders. Emanero's commitment to truth-telling is evident as he declares that he will never be silenced, even if it means facing dire consequences.

The song also touches on the manipulation and exploitation of the vulnerable. Emanero warns that those in power will 'matarte los sueños' (kill your dreams) and take away what little people have. He highlights the plight of young people who, lacking opportunities, turn to crime as a means of survival. The artist's call to action is clear: the community must continue to fight and resist, refusing to be silenced or defeated. 'De Este Lado' is not just a song; it's a manifesto of resistance and a testament to Emanero's role as a voice for the voiceless.
