APRENDIENDO A VOLAR

María José Llergo's song 'APRENDIENDO A VOLAR' is a poetic exploration of self-discovery and transcendence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's journey as she learns to rise above her limitations and reach new heights. The imagery of mountains and peaks seen from a distance symbolizes the challenges and aspirations that seem unattainable at first. The repeated mention of a 'bandera clavada' (planted flag) on her back suggests the weight of expectations and the burden of past achievements that she carries with her.

The song delves into the paradox of success and loss, questioning the value of victories that come at the cost of one's self. The line 'Si cada vez que gano me pierdo' (If every time I win, I lose myself) reflects this inner conflict. The artist's journey to learn how to fly is not just about physical flight but also about emotional and spiritual liberation. The act of flying becomes a metaphor for breaking free from constraints and touching the intangible, even if only for a moment.

Llergo's lyrics also touch on themes of connection and solace. The imagery of cutting through the air with her fingers and the birds' flight intertwining with her sighs evokes a sense of harmony with nature and the universe. The song offers comfort to those who are grieving, with the clouds laying down a 'manto de sábanas blancas' (mantle of white sheets) to soothe their pain. The 'hilo blanco' (white thread) that connects her voice to the listener's soul signifies a deep, almost mystical bond that transcends physical boundaries. Through 'APRENDIENDO A VOLAR,' Llergo invites us to embrace our vulnerabilities and find strength in our journey towards self-realization.
