Alas Cortadas

In 'Alas Cortadas,' TK paints a poignant picture of a person sitting alone by the sea, observing birds in flight. The imagery of the birds symbolizes freedom, a stark contrast to the confinement and lack of liberty the person feels in their urban environment. The sea, often a symbol of vast possibilities and escape, serves as a backdrop to this introspective moment, highlighting the individual's deep yearning for a sense of freedom and happiness that seems elusive in their current life.

The lyrics express a plea for happiness and a desire to see the person, presumably a child, enjoy their youth. The lines 'Dale a él / dale un poco de felicidad' (Give him / give him a little happiness) and 'Juega con él / disfruta de su niñez' (Play with him / enjoy his childhood) suggest a longing for innocence and joy, emphasizing the importance of cherishing and nurturing the child's formative years. This plea underscores a universal desire for a better, more fulfilling life for the next generation.

The song also touches on the theme of potential and future discovery. The lines 'Busca en él / la voz de aquél / que algún día / conoceré' (Look in him / for the voice of the one / that someday / I will know) reflect a hope and belief in the child's future potential. It suggests that within the child lies the promise of someone significant, someone who will eventually find their voice and place in the world. This forward-looking perspective adds a layer of optimism to the song, balancing the initial sense of melancholy with a hopeful outlook for what is to come.
