VIVO APARTADO

Josue Rarujo's song 'VIVO APARTADO' is a heartfelt ode to family, heritage, and personal identity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a family whose core values are love and respect. The song begins by introducing a family known for their integrity and strong moral values, emphasizing that there is no deceit or pretense among them. This sets the stage for the introduction of Antonio Antoñete, a figure who embodies these values and seeks to pass them on to his child.

The song delves into the birth of Antonio and Yadira's child, a symbol of their love and the continuation of their family's legacy. The lyrics highlight the importance of family bonds and the pride in their heritage. The repeated phrase 'Merchero fantaño yo soy' signifies a deep connection to their cultural identity, with 'merchero' referring to a traditionally nomadic group in Spain. This identity is cherished and preserved, despite the changing world around them.

Rarujo contrasts the family's values with the broader world, expressing a sense of disconnection and disapproval of contemporary societal norms. The refrain 'Lo que se puede hacer en este mundo es contrario a lo que soy yo' underscores this sentiment, as the protagonist feels apart and elevated ('apartado y volado') from the world he sees. This separation is not seen as a loss but as a reaffirmation of his true self and his commitment to his family's values and love. The song is a powerful declaration of staying true to one's roots and finding strength in one's heritage, even when it means standing apart from the mainstream.
