Sólo Le Pido a Dios (Con Mijares)

Yuri's rendition of 'Sólo Le Pido a Dios,' featuring Mijares, is a heartfelt plea for empathy, justice, and awareness in the face of the world's harsh realities. The song, originally written by Argentine singer-songwriter León Gieco, is a powerful anthem that resonates with universal themes of human suffering and the desire for a more compassionate world. Yuri's emotive delivery adds a layer of urgency and sincerity to the lyrics, making the message even more poignant.

The song opens with a plea to God, asking for the strength to remain sensitive to the horrors of war. The metaphor of war as a 'monstruo grande' (big monster) that crushes the innocence of people is striking, highlighting the devastating impact of conflict on the most vulnerable. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, which continues to explore various forms of human suffering and injustice.

Yuri also touches on the themes of pain, injustice, and betrayal. She asks for the strength to not become indifferent to pain and injustice, emphasizing the importance of taking action and not turning a blind eye. The line 'Que no me abofeteen la otra mejilla' (That they don't slap my other cheek) suggests a refusal to accept further harm after being wronged, advocating for resilience and resistance against injustice. The song also addresses the pain of betrayal and the importance of remembering and learning from such experiences.

Finally, the song speaks to the fear of an uncertain future and the plight of those forced to leave their homes and adapt to new cultures. This reflects a deep empathy for immigrants and refugees, highlighting the emotional and cultural challenges they face. Through these powerful lyrics, Yuri calls for a world where people remain compassionate and aware, refusing to become indifferent to the suffering around them.
