La Llorona

La Polla Records' song 'La Llorona' is a raw and rebellious anthem that captures the yearning for freedom and peace away from the oppressive confines of urban life. The lyrics express a desire to escape the 'world of concrete' and the monotonous, soul-crushing existence it represents. The protagonist seeks solace in the countryside, where they believe they will find peace and liberty, far from the societal expectations and pressures of city life.

The song's narrative is a critique of modern urban living, portraying it as a place where individuals are reduced to 'engendros' (monstrosities) and where true freedom is unattainable. The protagonist's decision to abandon the city and humanity altogether is a radical act of defiance, symbolizing a rejection of societal norms and a quest for a more authentic existence. The repeated phrase 'Voy al campo, abandonaré la ciudad' (I'm going to the countryside, I will abandon the city) underscores this longing for escape and the hope for a better life.

The use of the term 'La Llorona' (The Weeping Woman) adds a layer of irony and cultural reference. Traditionally, La Llorona is a figure in Latin American folklore who mourns her lost children. In this context, it could symbolize the mourning of lost freedom and individuality in the urban environment. The song's closing lines, 'poneros a llorar, moriros de ilusión' (start crying, die of illusion), serve as a final, defiant message to those who remain trapped in the city, urging them to wake up from their delusions and recognize the harsh reality of their existence.
