Caballos de Batallas

The song 'Caballos de Batallas' by Farolitos is a powerful anthem of resilience and unity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a struggle, both personal and collective, where the dawn symbolizes a new beginning, yet the challenges persist. The phrase 'Va amaneciendo, mas va pegando ese faso' suggests the start of a new day, but the lingering effects of past struggles remain. The imagery of standing tall despite being 'hecho pedazos' (broken into pieces) speaks to the strength and determination required to face life's battles.

The song emphasizes the importance of defending oneself and one's heritage. The line 'A defenderse! También vendrán por tu sangre' highlights the ever-present threat to one's identity and roots. However, the 'raíz de herencia' (root of heritage) is portrayed as something indelible, something that cannot be torn from one's veins. This metaphor underscores the deep connection to one's ancestry and the unbreakable bond it represents.

Farolitos also touches on the theme of unity and mutual support. The 'hermosa pequeñita' (beautiful little one) given by life symbolizes hope and the potential for reconciliation. The shared 'escudo' (shield) that 'malcrió a todos iguales' (spoiled us all equally) suggests a common upbringing or experience that binds the group together. The repeated call to 'poner huevo' (give it your all) and 'salirla a pelear' (go out and fight) serves as a rallying cry, encouraging perseverance and collective effort, especially when facing defeat. This song is a testament to the enduring spirit of community and the relentless fight for one's beliefs and identity.
