Este Es Un Nuevo Dia

Facundo Cabral's 'Este Es Un Nuevo Dia' is a song that celebrates the opportunity for renewal and the pursuit of happiness. The lyrics convey a message of starting anew, with a focus on self-improvement and the search for inner peace. The phrase 'Este es un nuevo dia' which translates to 'This is a new day,' serves as a mantra for transformation and the possibility of change that each day brings.

The song speaks to the human desire to reconnect with the purest parts of ourselves, symbolized by the 'angel' that appears in dreams. This angel can be interpreted as a metaphor for the better self or the innocence we all strive to return to. Cabral's lyrics suggest a conscious decision to leave behind vanity, as indicated by the line 'Yo dejare el espejo,' which means 'I will leave the mirror.' This act of turning away from the mirror symbolizes a rejection of superficial concerns in favor of a more profound and meaningful existence.

The journey that Cabral describes is both physical and spiritual. Walking 'De cara al sol' or 'Facing the sun' implies a direction towards light and positivity, while flying 'con la luna' or 'with the moon' suggests a sense of freedom and the ability to dream. The song encapsulates a hopeful outlook on life, urging listeners to embrace each day as a chance to become a 'hombre bueno' or 'good man,' and to find joy and fulfillment in the simple act of living.
