Fábula Del Avestruz Y El Jabalí

Malón's song "Fábula Del Avestruz Y El Jabalí" is a powerful and satirical critique of power dynamics, deception, and the consequences of blind ambition. The lyrics tell the story of two characters, an ostrich and a boar, who symbolize different aspects of human behavior and societal roles. The ostrich, known for its tendency to bury its head in the sand, represents avoidance and cowardice. It runs away from conflict and hides, preferring to escape rather than confront issues head-on. This behavior is depicted in the lines, "mete el cogote en un agujero hasta que paso la cabrón," highlighting the ostrich's strategy of evasion.

On the other hand, the boar is portrayed as a guardian of wealth, using deceit and manipulation to maintain its position. The boar's actions are described as "gruñe en la oreja su humilde inocencia siempre actuando de boludo," indicating a facade of innocence while engaging in cunning behavior. The boar's proposal is described as "de cartón," or made of cardboard, suggesting that it is flimsy and insubstantial, a mere illusion of value and integrity.

The song delves deeper into the themes of vanity and the lust for power, illustrating how these traits lead to disunity and avarice. The lyrics, "la vanidad con ansias de poder a estos dos amigos hizo suponer que los colmarían con su inmunda fe," reflect the corrupting influence of power and the false faith it instills. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the consequences of these behaviors, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and rejecting deceitful influences. The repeated warning, "que no te engañe con su ilusión," serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and critical of those who seek to manipulate and control.
