Mujer Del Bosque
PorSuiGieco
The Enigmatic Serenity of the Forest Woman
PorSuiGieco's song 'Mujer Del Bosque' is a poetic and evocative piece that delves into the life and essence of a woman deeply connected to nature. The lyrics paint a serene and mystical picture of a 'woman of the forest,' who embodies the tranquility and timelessness of the natural world. The repeated call for her to 'descansa' (rest) and 'despedir al Sol' (say goodbye to the Sun) suggests a cyclical, almost ritualistic connection to the rhythms of nature, emphasizing rest and renewal as the day ends.
The song's imagery of the 'casa' (house) awaiting and the search for another dawn speaks to a sense of belonging and continuity. It implies that the woman’s life is intertwined with the forest, her home, and the natural cycles that govern it. This connection is further deepened by the line 'Es la tierra mansa que vistió tus ojos de agua' (It is the gentle earth that dressed your eyes with water), which poetically suggests that her very being is shaped and nurtured by the land.
PorSuiGieco, a supergroup of Argentine folk and rock musicians, often infuses their music with rich cultural and natural imagery, reflecting the landscapes and stories of their homeland. 'Mujer Del Bosque' is no exception, offering a meditative and reverent tribute to the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own connections to the earth and the cycles of life, urging a harmonious coexistence with the natural world.
