Para La Finca

Las Voces Del Chañaral's song 'Para La Finca' is a heartfelt tribute to a place of deep personal and spiritual significance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a finca, or farm, that serves as a seminary, a place of learning and spiritual growth. The song opens with the imagery of the mountains turning blue and the sun igniting the vineyards, setting a serene and almost sacred scene. This natural beauty is juxtaposed with the early morning activities at the finca, where figures in dark boots wake up for morning mass, highlighting the disciplined and devout life led there.

The song delves into the daily routines and memories associated with the finca, such as the bitter mates (a traditional South American drink) and long recesses, as well as the presence of Father Buela and the young seminarians hungry for candy. These details evoke a sense of nostalgia and fondness for the simpler, yet profound moments of life at the seminary. The finca is described as the 'Cuna del Verbo Encarnado' (Cradle of the Incarnate Word), emphasizing its role as a nurturing ground for spiritual growth and learning.

As the song progresses, it shifts to a more reflective tone, contemplating the beauty of the sunsets and the unique sky of San Rafael. The imagery of the sun clinging to the clouds as it sets, like someone drowning in the horizon, adds a layer of poignancy and longing. The song concludes with a sense of gratitude and a wish for eternal rest in the finca's embrace, symbolizing a deep connection to the land and its spiritual significance. The mention of Marcelo, who left the sea to become part of the sky, adds a personal touch, perhaps honoring someone who has passed away but remains a part of the finca's legacy.
