Eye Of The Tiger

Moderatto's rendition of 'Eye Of The Tiger' is a powerful anthem of resilience and determination. The song narrates the journey of an individual who faces the challenges of life head-on, embodying the spirit of a tiger. The lyrics emphasize the importance of perseverance and staying true to one's dreams, even when faced with the temptation to abandon them for material gain. This message is encapsulated in lines like 'No pierdas fe en lo que llegaste a desear, Solo un hombre y sus deseos de ganar,' which translate to 'Don't lose faith in what you once desired, just a man and his desire to win.'

The metaphor of the 'hijo del tigre' or 'son of the tiger' is central to the song. This character is depicted as someone who is always ready for battle, resilient, and capable of navigating the urban jungle. The tiger symbolizes strength, courage, and an unyielding spirit. The repeated references to being 'listo para pelear' (ready to fight) and 'escurre en las calles' (slips through the streets) highlight the character's readiness to face any adversity and his ability to adapt and survive in a harsh environment.

Moderatto, known for their glam metal style, infuses the song with a sense of theatricality and intensity. The band's energetic performance and the heavy metal elements in the music amplify the song's themes of strength and perseverance. The closing lines, 'Crees en el metal... si creo... ¿Mas metal?... mas metal...' (Do you believe in metal... yes I do... More metal?... more metal...), serve as a rallying cry, reinforcing the idea of unwavering belief and commitment to one's path. This song is not just about personal struggle but also about the broader human experience of overcoming obstacles and staying true to oneself.
