Bichito (Carta Abierta a Adrián)

The song 'Bichito (Carta Abierta a Adrián)' by Rupatrupa is a poignant reflection on the world a newborn enters, filled with both beauty and strife. The lyrics paint a picture of a planet 'repleto de monstruos y de gente buena,' suggesting a dichotomy of good and evil that exists in our society. The artist acknowledges the ongoing battles and wars symbolized by 'sus banderas,' indicating the conflicts and divisions that are a part of human history.

The song takes a more personal turn as it addresses the child directly, offering wisdom and guidance for navigating life. The mention of 'la diosa fortuna' implies that the child is fortunate in some ways, perhaps born into a safer or more privileged environment, yet the song doesn't shy away from the inherent difficulties of life. The artist advises the child to be their own ally and warns of the challenges in discerning what brings true happiness. The recurring theme of freedom, 'Y la libertad, no la olvides,' serves as a reminder to cherish and protect one's autonomy.

The latter part of the song delves into societal issues, such as the allure of money and the mistreatment of women. Rupatrupa encourages the child to love freely, to be aware of the world's injustices, and to listen to the wisdom of their mother. The song is both a celebration of new life and a cautionary tale, urging the child to appreciate their existence while remaining vigilant about the values they hold dear.
