Sueño de valeriana

Los Rosarinos' song 'Sueño de valeriana' is a powerful anthem of resilience and determination. The lyrics convey a message of not succumbing to despair or wasting time. The repeated assertion 'No voy a morir, no voy perder el tiempo' (I won't die, I won't waste time) sets the tone for a journey of self-discovery and perseverance. The singer's resolve to 'viajaré al techo del mundo' (travel to the roof of the world) symbolizes an aspiration to reach the highest peaks of personal achievement, despite the obstacles represented by 'la barrera es el tiempo' (the barrier is time).

The song also delves into the complexities of human emotions and experiences. The lines 'mejor esconder, los secretos de mi vida y dejar correr la tristeza como el agua' (better to hide the secrets of my life and let sadness flow like water) suggest a coping mechanism for dealing with past sorrows. The metaphor of sadness flowing like water implies a natural, inevitable process that one must accept and move past. The recurring theme of an unfinished task that 'aun hoy me llama' (still calls me today) highlights the persistence of unresolved issues and the drive to confront them head-on.

The imagery in 'Cáliz de canción, corazón rompecabezas' (Chalice of song, puzzle heart) and 'valeriana en flor, centinela en pie de guerra' (valerian in bloom, sentinel at war) paints a vivid picture of the artist's inner world. The valerian flower, known for its calming properties, contrasts with the idea of a sentinel ready for battle, reflecting a duality of peace and conflict within the self. This duality is encapsulated in the line 'todo eso soy yo, un gran signo de pregunta' (all that is me, a big question mark), suggesting an ongoing quest for identity and purpose.

'Sueño de valeriana' is a rich tapestry of metaphors and emotions, capturing the essence of human struggle and the relentless pursuit of dreams. It speaks to the universal experience of facing challenges, embracing one's complexities, and striving for a better future.
