Al Sur Del Cielo

Renacer's song 'Al Sur Del Cielo' is a poignant tribute to a nation located 'south of the sky,' which can be interpreted as a reference to Argentina, given the geographical and cultural clues in the lyrics. The song paints a vivid picture of a land blessed with natural beauty, from its cities and mountains to its rivers, glaciers, deserts, and seas. The imagery of the sun as the father, the moon as the mother, and the wind as a witness to the nation's growth evokes a deep connection to nature and a sense of timelessness.

However, beneath this celebration of natural splendor lies a narrative of pain and loss. The repeated refrain, 'Grande es la herida' (Great is the wound), speaks to the nation's suffering. The lyrics suggest that the essence of this land is being stolen, and its children are abandoning it, leading to a deep, internal bleeding. This metaphorical language highlights the socio-political issues and the sense of betrayal felt by the people. The call to 'defiende su honor' (defend its honor) is a rallying cry for the nation's inhabitants to stand up and protect their homeland.

The song also touches on themes of solitude and resilience. The 'soledad de siete lagos' (solitude of seven lakes) and 'largos caminos andar' (long roads to walk) symbolize the isolation and the arduous journey the nation has endured. Despite the 'rotas cadenas' (broken chains) and 'crudos inviernos' (harsh winters), the land has witnessed life passing by and has learned to forgive. This resilience is a testament to the enduring spirit of the nation and its people, who are urged not to abandon their homeland but to cherish and defend it.
