Rising from the Ashes: The Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Contando Al Andar'
Lèpoka's song 'Contando Al Andar,' featuring Jose Andrëa, is a powerful anthem of resilience and self-discovery. The lyrics begin with the protagonist awakening from a metaphorical slumber, shaken by a profound internal tremor. This awakening signifies a moment of self-realization and the beginning of a journey to reclaim one's identity. The line 'He dormido ya tanto que he olvidado quién soy' (I've slept so long that I've forgotten who I am) encapsulates the theme of rediscovering oneself after a period of stagnation or hardship.
The song's chorus, 'Donde hubo polvo, construiré montañas' (Where there was dust, I will build mountains), serves as a metaphor for transformation and growth. It speaks to the idea of turning past struggles and failures into strengths and achievements. The repeated assertion 'No voy a echarme atrás' (I will not back down) reinforces the determination to move forward despite obstacles. This message of perseverance is further emphasized by the lines 'Uno más no me ganará' (One more will not defeat me) and 'Cientos más no me ganarán' (Hundreds more will not defeat me), highlighting an unwavering resolve to succeed.
The song also touches on the theme of overcoming past adversities and those who have caused harm. The protagonist looks back at those who wronged them but chooses to continue moving forward, 'Sigo contando al andar' (I keep counting as I walk). This phrase suggests a continuous journey of progress and self-improvement, regardless of the challenges faced. The final lines, 'Cuántos más tienen que pasar, cuántas sendas hay que cruzar, cuántas cumbres esperan sabiendo ya que seguimos contando al andar' (How many more have to pass, how many paths have to be crossed, how many summits await knowing that we keep counting as we walk), encapsulate the endless nature of this journey and the relentless pursuit of one's goals.
