It's Ok

Buenos Muchachos' song "It's Ok" delves into the complexities of human emotions and the journey of self-discovery. The lyrics, a mix of Spanish and English, create a rich tapestry of feelings and experiences. The phrase "It’s ok" serves as a comforting mantra, suggesting resilience and acceptance in the face of life's challenges. The song opens with a sense of mutual support, as the singer promises to provide for someone as long as they ask, indicating a deep bond and commitment.

The imagery of "tantas lunas sostenidas por el fuego" (so many moons held by fire) evokes a sense of enduring passion and mystery. This line suggests that even in the absence of full understanding or knowledge, there is a burning desire to keep going. The song touches on fear and vulnerability, with lines like "cuando miedo aprieta el filo" (when fear tightens the edge) and "podés ser la carnada sin abrigo" (you can be the bait without shelter). These metaphors highlight the raw and exposed nature of facing fears and uncertainties.

As the song progresses, it speaks to the harsh truths of life, such as the "mentira seca por los llantos del fracaso" (dry lie from the cries of failure). This line reflects the disillusionment that can come from unmet expectations and failures. However, the song also emphasizes learning and growth, with the repeated phrase "y aprender" (and learn). The journey culminates in a declaration of self-direction, "yo parto hacia mi y no hacia ti" (I depart towards myself and not towards you), signifying a powerful moment of self-realization and independence. The final exclamation, "Ahí voy!!" (Here I go!!), encapsulates the readiness to embrace one's path, no matter how uncertain it may be.
