Buena Ruta Hermano (Totalmente Poseídos)

The song "Buena Ruta Hermano (Totalmente Poseídos)" by La Renga is a poignant tribute to the bonds of brotherhood and the passage of time. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and the transient nature of life's journey, as it reflects on the separation of paths between individuals who share a deep connection.

The opening lines depict a scene of departure, with the narrator moving away, clinging to the road, accompanied only by the song that plays in his mind. This song, which seems to be carried by the wind, is a reminder of a crossroads where the narrator and his companion, now more brothers than friends, went their separate ways. The repeated phrase "Buena ruta hermano" (Good journey, brother) is a heartfelt wish for a safe and fulfilling path, whether they meet again in this life or beyond. The mention of waiting at a known place suggests a promise of reunion, a hope that endures despite the uncertainty of life.

The second verse mirrors the first, but this time it's the companion who is moving away, with the road described as 'nothingness' and everything feeling ephemeral, like an illusion. The song captures the bittersweet reality that even the closest of friends may part ways, each embarking on their own journey. The upward gaze to the sky in the final lines indicates a spiritual connection that transcends physical presence, implying that the bond between the brothers will remain strong, wherever they may be.
