Poema a La Mujer Del Campo

Grupo Saboreo's song "Poema a La Mujer Del Campo" is a heartfelt tribute to the women who toil in the countryside. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their daily struggles and unwavering spirit. The song opens with the artist dedicating the poem with love to these women, expressing joy in singing to the world and brightening the night with his guitar. The imagery of women working hard, moving the trapiche to make guarapo, and planting love with bare feet, highlights their dedication and resilience. Their lips, tasting of pineapple and mango, symbolize the sweetness they bring to their harsh lives.

The song continues to describe the arduous tasks these women undertake, from harvesting crops with machetes to selling their produce in the market, often earning barely enough to survive. The repetitive lines about working tirelessly without knowing when it will end emphasize their relentless labor and the hope that keeps them going. The artist's verses and charm are dedicated to these women, acknowledging their strength and perseverance.

In the latter part of the song, the artist sings about the emotional connection he shares with these women. His songs bring them happiness and calm, even as they face the challenges of their daily lives. The women are depicted as nurturing, healing wounded birds, and opening paths to the streams, embodying both tenderness and strength. The repeated phrase "alma de mujer y coraje de macho" (soul of a woman and courage of a man) underscores their dual role as caregivers and warriors. The song concludes with a plea for faith and hope, affirming that happiness is possible in the countryside despite the hardships. The final lines poignantly describe the women as the lungs of the world, essential yet unrecognized, likened to slaves in their own land.
