Siete Mares

Pedro Fernández Pedro Fernández

The Melancholic Journey of a Seafaring Heart

Pedro Fernández's song "Siete Mares" paints a vivid picture of a mariner's life, filled with both adventure and sorrow. The protagonist is a sailor who roams the seven seas, constantly facing the challenges and dangers that come with a life at sea. The lyrics convey a sense of restlessness and a life lived in perpetual motion, where the sailor's existence is defined by the tempestuous nature of the ocean. This constant movement and the inherent risks of his profession are metaphors for the unpredictability and hardships of life itself.

Amidst the chaos of the sea, the sailor finds moments of tranquility under the starry sky, where he reflects on his lost love. The sea becomes a confidant, responding to his laments with a stoic reminder to not cry. This interaction highlights the sailor's deep sense of loneliness and longing. The repeated phrase "Me dicen el siete mares" (They call me the seven seas) underscores his identity as a wanderer, carrying with him a love that is nearly dead. His desire to stay with his beloved is thwarted by his destiny to navigate the seas, illustrating the conflict between duty and personal desire.

The song also touches on the sailor's hope and despair as he seeks news about his love from the stars and the waves. The imagery of high waves dragging him away and his plea for calm when anchoring in Tampico reflect his inner turmoil and yearning for stability. Yet, he acknowledges that his life is bound to the sea, and his destiny is to keep moving. "Siete Mares" is a poignant exploration of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of one's calling, the pain of unfulfilled love, and the eternal quest for peace and belonging.
