Ruego

“Ruego” by Santo Remedio is a poignant and heartfelt song that delves into the struggles and suffering of various individuals in society. The lyrics are a series of prayers for those who are experiencing profound pain and hardship. The song opens with a plea for those who cry without consolation, who have faced more hell than heaven, and who are plagued by fear and depression. This sets the tone for a song that is deeply empathetic and concerned with the well-being of the marginalized and suffering.

The song continues to highlight the plight of those who are abandoned, abused, and neglected. It speaks of children born without parents, those abandoned by their mothers, and those who suffer violence even before birth. The lyrics also touch on the struggles of individuals trapped in addiction, those who have lost their families and friends for fleeting moments of pleasure, and the brokenness of marriages that leave children in anguish. Each verse is a prayer for healing and redemption, emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding.

In the chorus, the song calls out to Jesus, expressing the belief that He is the only true source of hope and healing. The lyrics underscore the idea that many people, despite being alive, do not truly know what it means to live. The song also addresses the plight of women and children forced into prostitution, the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the suffering of the sick and imprisoned. The final verse is a call to action for those who know Jesus to extend their compassion and aid to those in need, covering the naked, feeding the hungry, and even praying for the government. “Ruego” is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and the transformative power of faith.
