Fueron

The song 'Fueron' by No Te Va Gustar is a powerful anthem that speaks to the disillusionment and frustration of a generation. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and resignation, as the singer acknowledges that neither their destiny nor their path is within their control. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Mi destino no lo elijo yo y el camino tampoco,' which translate to 'I don't choose my destiny, nor the path.' The song suggests that people have learned to 'float' and live 'like crazy,' indicating a survival mode in a chaotic world.

A significant theme in 'Fueron' is the critique of political systems and leaders. The repeated phrase 'fueron ellos' ('it was them') serves as a pointed accusation towards those in power who have failed the people. The lyrics 'solo quieren tu voto' ('they only want your vote') and 'si te dicen que todo va a mejorar, ya no los mires' ('if they tell you everything will get better, don't look at them anymore') reflect a deep mistrust in political promises and a call to action for the listeners to stop believing in empty assurances.

Despite the bleak outlook, the song carries a message of hope and resilience. The lines 'esas ganas de no querernos callar y de juntarnos de a poco' ('the desire to not be silenced and to come together little by little') emphasize the power of unity and collective action. The song encourages people to keep singing, to keep fighting, and to celebrate the small victories, as indicated by 'que no paremos nunca más de cantar y que brindemos' ('let's never stop singing and let's toast'). 'Fueron' is not just a song; it's a rallying cry for change and a reminder that the power ultimately lies with the people.
