Ser Misionero

The Passionate Call of a Missionary
Romina González Romanini's song "Ser Misionero" delves into the profound and passionate experience of being a missionary. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of purpose and dedication to spreading a message of love and faith. The song begins with a rhetorical question, "¿qué es ser misionero?" (What is it to be a missionary?), highlighting the challenge of explaining this calling to those who have not experienced it. The artist expresses that being a missionary is not just a role but a way of living, loving, and feeling with intense passion and commitment.
The chorus emphasizes the urgency and fervor of the missionary's mission. The repeated desire to "anunciar" (announce), "gritar" (shout), and "contar" (tell) underscores the transformative impact of the message they carry. The presence of a divine force within the missionary is described as a burning fire that compels them to continue their work. This fire symbolizes the intense spiritual drive and the unquenchable desire to share their faith with others.
The song also portrays the missionary as a versatile instrument of evangelization. They are depicted as a flame that can warm cold and dark lives, a word of encouragement, a bridge of peace and unity, and an extended hand offering strength and hope. These metaphors illustrate the multifaceted role of a missionary in bringing light, comfort, and support to those in need. The song's repetitive structure and passionate delivery reinforce the unwavering commitment and enthusiasm of the missionary's journey.
