Bajan

The song 'Bajan' by Pescado Rabioso, a rock band from Argentina led by the influential musician Luis Alberto Spinetta, is a poetic exploration of time and existential reflection. The lyrics convey a sense of patience and the natural flow of life's cycles, suggesting that one should not rush through life but rather embrace each moment and its inherent changes.

The repeated lines 'Bajan, el día es vidrio sin Sol' and 'Bajan, la noche te oculta la voz' metaphorically describe how time lowers ('bajan' meaning 'they lower' in Spanish) the intensity of day and mutes the night, symbolizing how life's experiences can diminish vitality and silence one's inner voice. The song encourages the listener to find balance, like the Sun and the Moon, representing the duality of life's forces and the importance of finding one's own light in the darkness.

The imagery of the 'Viejo roble del camino' (old oak on the road) suggests wisdom and the passage of time, while the phrase 'Qué bien te ves' (how good you look) directed at a young woman, could imply a recognition of beauty and strength in the face of life's relentless march. Overall, 'Bajan' is a contemplative piece that invites listeners to slow down and find harmony within the ebb and flow of existence.
