Sol de Giz de Cera (feat. Tulipa Ruiz)
Emicida
The Magic of Childhood Through a Father's Eyes
Emicida's song "Sol de Giz de Cera," featuring Tulipa Ruiz, is a heartfelt ode to the innocence and wonder of childhood, as seen through the eyes of a loving father. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a child's world, filled with simple joys and boundless imagination. The child in the song is fascinated by the growth of beans in cotton, the slow journey of snails, and the playful dance of the wind. These small wonders remind the father that the world can be both old and new, seen through the fresh perspective of his child.
The father, portrayed as a heroic figure, takes on the role of protector and adventurer. He battles metaphorical lions and dragons, much like a modern-day Don Quixote, to shield his child from the harsh realities of life. Despite the challenges, he returns home, singing joyfully, symbolizing the resilience and unwavering love he has for his child. The repetitive chorus, "Pa pa pa para," adds a playful and rhythmic element, echoing the carefree spirit of childhood.
The song also captures the everyday moments that make up the tapestry of a child's life. From losing a tooth and scraping a knee to the simple act of tying shoelaces, these experiences are narrated with a sense of nostalgia and tenderness. The child's curiosity about bees, bullets, and the moon, and the playful antics of the family dog, all contribute to the whimsical and magical atmosphere of the song. Emicida's lyrical storytelling, combined with Tulipa Ruiz's melodic contribution, creates a touching tribute to the beauty of fatherhood and the fleeting, precious moments of childhood.
