Madurar

In 'Madurar,' Soy Rada And The Colibriquis explore the bittersweet journey of growing up and the realizations that come with it. The song opens with the disillusionment of childhood myths, such as discovering that the 'man of gifts' is a lie and that one's father isn't a superhero. These lines capture the moment when innocence begins to fade, and the reality of the world starts to set in. The mention of soup not being as good as people say and the joy of walking barefoot highlight the simple yet profound discoveries that shape our understanding of life.

The song continues with everyday experiences that mark the passage from childhood to adulthood. Encounters with unfriendly neighbors, breaking windows with a ball, and the concern of a grandmother about one's weight are all relatable moments that many experience. The reference to 'café con leche in the mornings' evokes a sense of routine and comfort, grounding the listener in the familiar aspects of growing up. These vignettes paint a picture of the small but significant events that contribute to our maturation.

The chorus emphasizes that maturing is about continuing to do the same things regardless of what others think. This message is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that true maturity involves staying true to oneself and one's actions, despite external judgments. The lyrics also touch on the first experiences with smoking and drinking, and the excitement of first kisses, symbolized by 'potent butterflies' that lift one off the planet. These experiences are rites of passage that many go through, marking the transition from adolescence to adulthood. 'Madurar' is a nostalgic yet empowering anthem that celebrates the journey of growing up and the importance of self-acceptance.
