Amutuy-soledad

In 'Amutuy-soledad,' Soledad delivers a poignant and powerful message about the historical and ongoing injustices faced by indigenous people. The song's lyrics reflect a deep sense of loss and betrayal, as the singer recounts how their culture, language, and way of life were forcibly taken from them. The opening lines, 'Ahí están festejando / La conquista de ayer,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the bitter irony of celebrating a conquest that brought so much suffering and displacement to the indigenous population.

The lyrics go on to describe the various ways in which the indigenous people were oppressed, from the use of Remington rifles to enforce submission to the imposition of foreign laws and culture. The line 'Lo que no me impusieron / Fue el color de la piel' underscores the resilience of the indigenous identity, despite the many attempts to erase it. This theme of resistance is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer calls for solidarity and a refusal to beg for mercy: 'Amutuy, soledad / Que mi hermano me / Arrincona, sin piedad / Vámonos que el alambre / Y el fiscal / Pueden más, amutuy / Sin mendigar.'

The song also critiques the hypocrisy of those who justified their actions in the name of religion and civilization. The lines 'Sometiendo a mi raza / En el nombre de Dios' and 'Con qué ley me juzgaron / Por culpable de qué' question the moral and legal grounds on which these injustices were committed. By asking 'Qué conquista festejan / Que no puedo entender,' the singer challenges the narrative of conquest and victory, urging listeners to reconsider the true cost of these historical events. Through 'Amutuy-soledad,' Soledad not only mourns the past but also calls for a reawakening of cultural pride and justice for indigenous communities.
