HIJAS DEL SOL (feat. Eva Ayllón y Renata Flores)
Milena Warthon
Empowerment Under the Sun: The Anthem of Resilience
The song 'HIJAS DEL SOL' by Milena Warthon, featuring Eva Ayllón and Renata Flores, is a powerful anthem of empowerment and cultural identity. The lyrics celebrate the strength and resilience of women, metaphorically referred to as 'daughters of the Sun,' who are illuminated and guided by the sun's light on their destiny. The song emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and using life's challenges, symbolized by the rain, to clear one's path.
The act of touching the sky from the south and braiding one's hair represents a connection to one's roots and heritage, possibly alluding to indigenous Andean culture. The repetition of 'decimos que no' (we say no) is a strong statement of defiance against societal expectations or norms that may attempt to diminish their power or silence their voices. The song's chorus, which mentions singing to the Moon, suggests a spiritual connection to nature and the universe, reinforcing the idea of a deep, intrinsic strength that comes from within.
The collaboration with Eva Ayllón and Renata Flores adds layers of cultural richness, as both artists bring their unique styles and backgrounds to the song. The inclusion of Quechua language phrases, such as 'Quri hina llimpiyuq takiqa qaparimun Andes nisqamanta,' which translates to 'The song that shines like gold resounds from the Andes,' highlights the pride in Andean heritage and the power of uniting voices to demonstrate strength to the world. The song is a call to action for the global south to awaken and shine, asserting that the opinions of others do not matter in the face of their inherent strength as 'daughters of the Sun.'
