Cantemos

La Beriso's song 'Cantemos' delves deep into the emotional struggles of fear, loss, and the journey towards healing. The lyrics open with a poignant reflection on how fear can overshadow joy and desire, symbolized by a smile that is constantly dimmed by anxiety. This sets the stage for a broader exploration of how internal battles manifest outwardly, with tears and scars representing the emotional and physical toll of life's hardships.

The song then shifts to a more hopeful tone, urging the listener to confront their fears and recognize that change is possible. The metaphor of the wind changing direction suggests that even in the darkest times, there is potential for a new beginning. This is further emphasized by the call to sing, a powerful act of expression and solidarity. Singing becomes a way to honor those who have passed and to find strength in shared sorrow.

'Cantemos' also addresses the debilitating effects of depression and anguish, likening them to a slow, internal decay. The plea to rise up and continue living, for the sake of those who have gone before, is a heartfelt call to resilience. The act of toasting with wine serves as a ritual of remembrance and a celebration of life, both past and future. By the end of the song, the repeated call to sing transforms into a communal act of healing, suggesting that through collective expression and remembrance, we can find a new path forward.
