Niños Pequeños

MORAD's song 'Niños Pequeños' delves into the lives of young people who are deeply entrenched in a cycle of crime and poverty, yet driven by a strong desire to provide for their families. The repeated line 'comprarle una casa a mama' (buy a house for mom) underscores a central theme: the aspiration to lift their families out of hardship. This desire is a powerful motivator, pushing these youths to engage in illegal activities despite the risks involved.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the harsh realities faced by these young individuals. They are 'obsesionados con hacer los delitos' (obsessed with committing crimes), often resorting to stealing cars and other illegal acts. The song highlights the lack of security and support in their lives, as evidenced by lines like 'los coches robados no tienen ni seguro ni un perito' (stolen cars have neither insurance nor an expert). This reflects a broader societal issue where marginalized communities often feel abandoned and must fend for themselves.

MORAD also touches on the importance of loyalty and trust within these communities. He mentions helping friends without expecting anything in return and the necessity of having a reliable group to navigate through problems. The song's narrative is not just about crime but also about the bonds formed in these tough environments. The artist's personal reflections, such as 'solo creo a mi madre' (I only believe my mother), add a layer of authenticity and emotional depth, emphasizing the significance of family and close relationships in their lives.

The song concludes with a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the enduring value of family. Despite the allure of 'lo malo' (the bad), MORAD acknowledges the wisdom imparted by elders and the enduring importance of family ties. This duality of seeking a better life through questionable means while valuing family and loyalty encapsulates the complex reality faced by many young people in similar situations.
