Niños Rosados

The song 'Niños Rosados' by me llamo (Sebastián) delves into the rigid gender norms imposed on children and the artist's personal experiences with these societal expectations. The lyrics recount the artist's childhood memories, where he preferred playing with dolls and engaging in activities traditionally associated with girls. This preference was met with disapproval and redirection from his parents, who tried to steer him towards more 'masculine' activities like karate and football. Despite these efforts, the artist's longing for his Barbie doll and the freedom to express himself authentically remained strong.

The song challenges the binary view of gender, symbolized by the traditional colors of pink for girls and blue for boys. The artist questions why society limits itself to just these two combinations when there are countless colors available. This metaphor extends to the broader idea of gender expression, advocating for a world where children can explore and embrace their identities without fear of judgment or restriction. The lyrics celebrate the idea of fluidity, where one can be a superhero by day and a feline femme fatale by night, embodying different aspects of their personality as they see fit.

In the final verses, the song envisions a utopia where gender norms are dismantled, and everyone is free to express themselves in any way they choose. This world is one where 'niños rosados' and 'niñas de azul' coexist, embracing a spectrum of colors and combinations. It is a place where queens can confidently apply their makeup, and princes can share kisses if they wish. Through this vivid imagery, me llamo (Sebastián) advocates for acceptance, diversity, and the celebration of individuality, urging society to move beyond outdated gender stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and colorful future.
