Mi Niño

Guardarraya's song 'Mi Niño' is a heartfelt plea to preserve the inner child, a metaphor for innocence, curiosity, and joy. The repeated refrain 'No te mueras mi niño' (Don't die, my child) underscores the urgency and desperation to keep this childlike spirit alive. The lyrics express a deep need for the playful, inquisitive, and joyful aspects of oneself, which are often threatened by the harsh realities of adulthood. The child represents a source of creativity and vitality, essential for the narrator's sense of purpose and happiness.

The song also explores the theme of vigilance and awareness. The lines 'Vamos afuera, busquemos unos ojos que nos vean' (Let's go outside, let's find some eyes that see us) suggest a search for external validation or recognition. This could be interpreted as a call to others to help keep the inner child visible and vibrant. The repeated emphasis on 'pero que vean, pero de a de veras' (but let them see, really see) highlights the importance of genuine perception and understanding, not just superficial acknowledgment.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift towards a more collaborative and hopeful tone. 'Diseñemos un planeta entre tú y yo' (Let's design a planet between you and me) suggests creating a shared space where the inner child can thrive without fear. This imaginative and utopian vision contrasts with the earlier desperation, offering a solution through mutual support and creativity. The song concludes with a poignant reminder of mortality, urging listeners to cherish and nurture their inner child before it's too late. The mention of 'Guardarraya pana' (Guardarraya, buddy) adds a personal touch, connecting the band's identity with the message of the song.
