Oracion Del Remanso

“Oracion Del Remanso” by SOLEDAD is a heartfelt ode to the life and struggles of the people living by the Paraná River. The song paints a vivid picture of the singer's connection to the river, describing himself as a part of its very essence. The lyrics reflect the dual nature of the river—its calm, serene beauty and its turbulent, dangerous depths. This duality mirrors the lives of the people who depend on the river for their livelihood, highlighting their resilience and the challenges they face.

The song is imbued with a deep sense of spirituality and a plea for divine intervention. The repeated invocation of “Cristo de las redes” (Christ of the nets) underscores the reliance on faith amidst hardship. The fishermen's prayers for blessings and protection reveal their vulnerability and the precariousness of their existence. The river, while a source of life and sustenance, also represents the uncertainties and dangers that come with it. The plea for the river to carry away their song symbolizes a desire for relief and a better future.

The emotional core of the song is further enriched by the personal reflections of the singer. He dreams of reuniting with his loved one, expressing a longing that is both poignant and universal. The imagery of navigating the river and the stars conveys a sense of journey and hope, despite the weariness and challenges faced. The song captures the essence of a community bound by the river, their faith, and their dreams, making it a powerful narrative of human endurance and hope.
