Piratas

Natos y Waor's song 'Piratas' delves into the romanticized and rebellious life of modern-day pirates, using vivid imagery and metaphors to paint a picture of freedom, danger, and camaraderie. The lyrics open with the protagonist searching for an open bar and a woman in every port, setting the stage for a life of adventure and fleeting connections. The full moon and rising tide symbolize the constant challenges and unpredictability of maintaining their 'ship' afloat, a metaphor for their lifestyle. The song's chorus, with its call to raise anchors and hoist sails, evokes the spirit of traditional pirates, emphasizing their defiance and refusal to surrender, represented by the absence of a white flag and the presence of swords and skulls.

The treasure they seek is not material wealth but the 'gold' of those who have excess, highlighting a code of honor among these modern pirates—they do not harm women or rob the poor. This code contrasts with the cold, harsh nights they endure, likened to forged steel, and the blood-stained fingers that signify their violent encounters. The life of a pirate is portrayed as the best life, filled with global adventures without a defined course, lacking a compass or a map to a lost treasure, and leaving only scars on their hearts.

As the city sleeps, the pirates come alive, lighting candles and reveling in the night. Their lifestyle is marked by drinking, breaking rules, and living on the edge, symbolized by the shattered glass slipper of Cinderella. The song also touches on the duality of their existence—facing siren songs and silver coins, choosing between bravery and retreat, and filling their coffers or causing chaos. The final verses reflect on their unwavering spirit, battling against all odds, and the sense of brotherhood that defines their 'nation.' The protagonist has long since let go of the helm, drifting with a bottle of rum, yet still driven by the pursuit of a million, embodying the relentless and anarchic essence of pirate life.
