Cuando Tú Nazcas

“Cuando Tú Nazcas” by Mocedades is a heartfelt song that encapsulates the hopes and dreams of a parent for their unborn child. The lyrics are a tender message filled with love and optimism, envisioning a world where the child can grow up free, happy, and in harmony with nature. The opening lines, “Cuando tú nazcas abre los ojos / Toma la vida, es para ti,” set the tone for the song, inviting the child to embrace life and all its wonders. The imagery of a whole planet in the child’s hands symbolizes the endless possibilities and opportunities awaiting them.

The song also reflects a deep yearning for the preservation of the natural world. The parent hopes that the child will experience the beauty of the sun, the sea, the rain, and the wind, as well as the purity of snow during Christmas. This is evident in lines like, “Y que la lluvia / Salte pura sobre tu piel / Que aún sople el viento / Y que juegues con él.” These elements of nature are portrayed as essential parts of a joyful and fulfilling life, emphasizing the importance of environmental conservation for future generations.

Additionally, the song carries a nostalgic tone, as the parent wishes for the child to enjoy the same simple pleasures and experiences they once did. References to old books, the scent of fresh bread, and the enduring presence of the moon and stars highlight a desire for continuity and connection across generations. The repeated hope that the child will inherit a world as beautiful and rich as the one the parent knew underscores a universal longing for a better future for our children. “Cuando Tú Nazcas” is a touching ode to the innocence and potential of new life, wrapped in a gentle plea for a world that remains kind and bountiful.
