Sales

Bahiano's song 'Sales' delves into the themes of judgment, liberation, and the quest for inner peace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been subjected to societal scrutiny and condemnation, as symbolized by the 'tribunal' that passes judgment. This tribunal represents the collective voice of society, which often labels and condemns individuals based on superficial assessments. The repeated phrase 'Dio sentencia el tribunal' underscores the weight of this judgment and the emotional toll it takes on the individual.

The song also explores the idea of words as pollutants, suggesting that negative speech and gossip can contaminate one's mind and spirit. The line 'Digan lo que digan las palabras contaminan' highlights how harmful words can be, especially when they stem from malice or misunderstanding. Despite this, the protagonist is on a journey to heal and find peace, as indicated by the lines 'hace tiempo que estás, queriendo sanar' and 'el deseo de paz que tarde en llegar.' This quest for peace is a central theme, reflecting a deep desire to rise above the negativity and find a sense of tranquility.

' Sales' is also a call to action, urging the listener to break free from the chains of societal judgment and to follow their own path. The repeated exhortation 'Sales' serves as both a command and a declaration of independence. It encourages the listener to not be swayed by what others say ('que te importe el que dirán') and to focus on their own journey ('cada cual a su camino'). The song's message is one of empowerment, resilience, and the importance of self-acceptance in the face of external criticism.
