Ando por la huella

SOLEDAD's song 'Ando por la huella' is a heartfelt ode to the past, filled with nostalgia and a deep connection to heritage. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist reminiscing about simpler times, evoking memories of a rural upbringing. The imagery of the 'patio de tierra' (dirt patio), 'carro arenero' (sand cart), and 'zaino viejo' (old horse) creates a rustic backdrop that speaks to a life closely tied to the land and traditional ways.

The song also pays homage to the people who were part of this past, mentioning names like the Saganías, Montenegros, Chileno Rojas, and loco Echezar. These names likely represent friends, family, or local figures who played significant roles in the artist's life. The mention of 'domingos' (Sundays) that 'ya no volverán' (will not return) underscores a sense of loss and longing for times that have passed, highlighting the irreplaceable nature of these memories.

In the chorus, the artist reflects on the lessons learned from life, symbolized by 'la caña de la realidad' (the cane of reality). The act of 'pialando recuerdos' (lassoing memories) with a guitar suggests that music serves as a means to capture and preserve these fleeting moments. The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of those who have passed away, like 'el viejito Herreras' and 'el Indio Lugones,' who are now free from earthly constraints, symbolized by the absence of 'tranqueras' (gates) in the afterlife. This final sentiment ties back to the theme of remembering and honoring one's roots through music.
