Hasta Las Tres de La Mañana

Gona's 'Hasta Las Tres de La Mañana' paints a vivid picture of the dangers and realities of walking through the streets of a city plagued by crime and violence. The song's title, which translates to 'Until Three in the Morning,' sets the scene for a nocturnal journey where the moon is the only constant companion in an environment where even the shadows can be menacing. The repetition of the phrase 'La luna me acompaña' (The moon accompanies me) emphasizes the loneliness and isolation felt in such a setting.

The lyrics delve into the harsh truths of urban life, where children are armed from a young age and violence is a common occurrence. Gona describes a world where the sound of a whistle could mean danger, and where one must adopt a hardened demeanor to survive. The streets are filled with 'tigres' (tigers), a metaphor for the dangerous individuals that prowl the night. The song reflects on the societal issues that lead to such a reality, including corruption, poverty, and a culture that often glorifies violence.

Despite the grim setting, there is a sense of resilience in the song. Gona speaks of walking without fear, suggesting a defiance against the circumstances. The repeated command 'Camina' (Walk) serves as a mantra for perseverance. The song is not just a commentary on the dangers of the night but also a statement about the strength and determination required to navigate through them.
