Pájaros

Amaral's song "Pájaros" is a poetic exploration of life, existence, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The lyrics begin by listing various birds, such as larks, sparrows, and nightingales, which serve as metaphors for the messages of life that often go unheard. These birds symbolize the natural world and its inherent wisdom, suggesting that nature communicates truths about existence, even if people choose to ignore them.

The song delves into the complexity of life, acknowledging its dual nature of cruelty and beauty. Amaral reflects on the enigmatic nature of existence, emphasizing that while life is difficult to fully comprehend, it follows a cyclical pattern. This cycle is a reminder of the transient nature of life, where one moment we are alive and the next, we may cease to exist. The repetition of "Estamos aquí" ("We are here") underscores the importance of being present and appreciating the fleeting moments of life.

Amaral also highlights the miraculous balance and connection between all living things. The lyrics suggest that everything on Earth is part of a grand, meaningful mechanism, akin to the eternal movement of the universe's clock. This perspective encourages listeners to recognize their place within this vast, interconnected system and to find meaning in the shared experience of life. The song's imagery of golden orioles singing from the singer's throat further emphasizes the idea of unity and the shared voice of nature and humanity.
