Ra (Polloman) (Destripando La Historia)

Pascu y Rodri's song 'Ra (Polloman) (Destripando La Historia)' is a humorous and engaging retelling of the mythological story of Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god. The song begins by setting the stage in a primordial sea of darkness, from which Ra emerges, ready to create the world. He names everything, from gods to humans to walruses, establishing his dominion over creation. Ra's journey is depicted as a grand adventure, traveling in his yacht and saving himself from the chaos serpent Apophis. His benevolence towards humans leads him to become a pharaoh, ruling for thousands of years and bringing prosperity to Egypt.

As time passes, Ra ages and faces disrespect from humans. In response, he devises a plan to unleash a powerful and violent goddess to punish humanity. However, the situation spirals out of control, and the goddess's rampage can only be stopped by tricking her with alcohol. This part of the song highlights Ra's cunning and the lengths he goes to maintain order. Despite the chaos, Ra continues to govern Egypt, ensuring its survival and prosperity for another millennium.

The song takes a turn when Isis, another prominent deity, seeks Ra's secrets. She tricks him by using a serpent to poison him, forcing Ra to reveal his true name in exchange for a cure. This act symbolizes the transfer of power and knowledge, leading to Ra's retirement. He sails away, leaving Horus to take over his duties. The song concludes with a hopeful note, suggesting that Ra will always be there to save the day, even in his retirement. Through its playful lyrics and catchy tune, 'Ra (Polloman)' brings ancient mythology to life, blending humor with historical storytelling.
