La Promesa

The song 'La Promesa' by Sonido Mazter is a poignant narrative of personal resolve and emotional healing. The lyrics describe a person who has decided to confront their sorrows and fears, symbolically putting them to rest. The act of 'sending sorrow to sleep' and 'drinking with the fears of the soul' suggests a moment of introspection and a decision to face inner demons rather than avoid them.

The song continues with the metaphorical imagery of breaking chains and forgiving oneself, which signifies a release from past guilt and the beginning of reconciliation with one's own imperfections. The poetic gesture of 'combing depression' and adorning it with a flower represents a transformation of suffering into something that can be acknowledged and even beautified, indicating a shift in perspective towards one's emotional struggles.

Central to the song is the promise made by the narrator to themselves. This vow entails no longer crying over a past love and waiting for divine guidance towards true love. The lyrics reflect a deep faith in a higher power and the belief that patience and openness will eventually lead to a fulfilling relationship. The repeated phrase 'esa fue mi promesa' (that was my promise) underscores the commitment to this new path of hope, self-compassion, and the anticipation of a brighter future.
