Mis Abuelos

Pauã's song 'Mis Abuelos' is a heartfelt tribute to the wisdom and legacy passed down from ancestors. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the mission bestowed upon the singer by their grandparents, both grandfathers and grandmothers. This mission is to sing from the heart, transforming each song into a prayer. The repetition of the lines 'Mis abuelos e mis abuelas mi derraram una mission' underscores the importance and sacredness of this inherited duty. The act of singing is not just a performance but a spiritual practice that connects the singer to their roots and to the natural world.

The song also highlights the deep connection between music and nature. Phrases like 'que este canto se una com la madre naturaleza' and 'que este canto se funda con la vida em la tiera' suggest that the act of singing is a way to harmonize with Mother Nature and the life on Earth. This connection is further illustrated through the imagery of powerful animals, such as the 'poderoso aguar' (powerful jaguar) and the 'emplumado en negro el contor' (black-feathered condor). These animals symbolize strength, wisdom, and a deep bond with the natural world, reflecting the ancestral guidance that the singer receives.

The song's structure, with its repetitive and meditative lines, creates a sense of ritual and reverence. It is as if the singer is invoking the presence of their ancestors through the act of singing. The lyrics 'Es mi abuelos que chega a cantar, es mi abuelas que chegam a curar' suggest that the ancestors are not just a source of inspiration but also active participants in the healing process. Through this song, Pauã honors the enduring influence of their grandparents and the sacred mission of singing with heart and soul, blending the spiritual with the natural in a harmonious celebration of life and legacy.
