Semillas Del Corazón

León Gieco's song 'Semillas Del Corazón' is a poetic exploration of healing, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery that evoke a sense of both pain and hope. The song begins with a sense of departure and rupture, as the protagonist is described as leaving with the stars and breaking the world in two. This imagery suggests a profound change or loss, perhaps the end of a significant relationship or a personal transformation. The recurring mention of coming with the storm during loveless nights further emphasizes a period of turmoil and emotional upheaval.

As the song progresses, it shifts towards a more hopeful tone. The protagonist is depicted as walking on a dream without the kisses of a goodbye, indicating a journey of moving forward despite the absence of closure. The moon's sign cradling the song like a lullaby suggests a comforting presence amidst the chaos. The chorus brings a sense of renewal, with life gifting a day and seeds of the heart to plant one's wounds. This metaphor of planting seeds symbolizes the potential for growth and healing from past hurts. The protagonist is likened to the sun, a new day, and a flower, all symbols of life, freedom, and beauty, bringing hope and renewal for both themselves and another.

The song also touches on the idea of miracles and faith, with the bell of the miracle turning into a prayer. This suggests a belief in the possibility of positive change and the power of hope. The protagonist is described as a small seed of a poor heart that has witnessed much bleeding, yet there is a sense of resilience and the potential for new beginnings. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of life offering new opportunities and the importance of nurturing one's wounds to grow and heal. 'Semillas Del Corazón' is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the continuous cycle of pain and renewal.
