I wanna go

The song "I wanna go" by Tranzas delves into the complex emotions and cultural influences experienced by many individuals in Latin America who dream of moving to the United States. The lyrics are a conversation with a consul, where the protagonist expresses his desire to leave his home country and live in the USA. This desire is fueled by the pervasive influence of American culture, from food and music to fashion and language. The protagonist feels a strong connection to American culture, which he has been exposed to since birth, making him feel out of place in his own country.

The song highlights the protagonist's internal conflict and sense of identity. He loves his country but feels disconnected from it because of the cultural influences that have shaped his preferences and lifestyle. The repeated references to hamburgers, rock and roll, Madonna, and Stallone symbolize the allure of the American lifestyle, which he perceives as more aligned with his identity. The protagonist's frustration is palpable as he tries to convince the consul of his genuine desire to experience life in the USA, even though he promises to return.

Towards the end of the song, there is a moment of realization. The protagonist acknowledges that his expectations of the USA, shaped by television and media, may not align with reality. Despite this realization, the desire to return to the USA persists, indicating a deep-seated longing for the perceived opportunities and lifestyle that the country represents. This song captures the essence of cultural globalization and the impact of media on personal identity and aspirations, resonating with many who feel caught between two worlds.
