Aunque Se Resistan
Los Violadores
Unyielding Progress Amidst Resistance
Los Violadores' song "Aunque Se Resistan" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the unstoppable force of progress and change, even in the face of resistance. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and solidarity, emphasizing that despite opposition, the movement will continue to advance. The phrase "junto a vos" (alongside you) highlights the collective effort and unity required to drive this progress forward. This sense of community and shared purpose is a central theme in the song, reflecting the band's punk ethos and their commitment to social and political activism.
The lyrics also touch on the frustration and fervor of the people, who can no longer tolerate the status quo. The line "La gente no aguanta, la gente no resiste tanto fervor" (The people can't stand it, the people can't resist so much fervor) suggests a boiling point has been reached, where the collective passion and desire for change are overwhelming. This imagery of an unstoppable force is further reinforced by the contrast between black and white in the line "Ellos quieren explicarlo, piden negro les doy blanco" (They want to explain it, they ask for black, I give them white), symbolizing the clear and undeniable nature of the movement's goals.
The final stanza introduces a more personal and visceral element, with imagery of falling clothes and a bleeding body. This could symbolize the sacrifices and struggles faced by individuals within the movement. The promise "pero te esperaré" (but I will wait for you) suggests a steadfast commitment to the cause and to each other, no matter the personal cost. This blend of collective and individual struggle underscores the depth of dedication and the resilience required to achieve meaningful change.
