Agualuna

Fernando Ubiergo's song 'Agualuna' delves into profound existential questions and observations about life, society, and the universe. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, creating a tapestry of thought-provoking scenarios that challenge the listener to reflect on the nature of existence and human behavior. The song opens with a declaration of belief in humanity and a skepticism towards the sea, setting the stage for a series of 'why' questions that probe deeper into the mysteries of life.

Ubiergo juxtaposes the innocence of a child playing with dolls against the cold, mechanical presence of a metal star watching from the sky. This contrast highlights the tension between innocence and the encroaching influence of technology and surveillance. The lyrics also touch on the randomness and inequality of life, comparing the moon to a billiard table where some rise and others fall, and questioning the ultimate fate of humanity.

The song further explores the vast differences between dreams and reality, using the imagery of historical and fictional figures like Christopher Columbus and Superman. These figures symbolize the pursuit of dreams and the harsh realities that often accompany them. The mention of a retired astronaut and a farmer searching for land to cultivate underscores the disparity between lofty ambitions and the grounded struggles of everyday life. Ultimately, Ubiergo finds solace in personal connections, expressing a deeper belief in a loved one and the simple, yet profound, moments of life, such as a child taking their first steps or the fleeting beauty of a night filled with dreams.
