Las Siete Palabras

The song 'Las Siete Palabras' by Daniel Poli is a deeply religious piece that reflects on the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The title itself, which translates to 'The Seven Words,' refers to the last seven phrases that Jesus spoke while being crucified, as recorded in the Christian Gospels. These phrases are considered to be of profound theological significance and have been the subject of meditation and reflection in Christian tradition for centuries.

Daniel Poli's rendition of these events is both a narrative and a prayer, as evidenced by the recurring line 'Corazón amigo, Corazón herido, Corazón de Cristo Jesús, Yo confío en Vos!' which translates to 'Friendly heart, wounded heart, heart of Christ Jesus, I trust in You!' This refrain is a declaration of faith and trust in Jesus, acknowledging his sacrifice and expressing a personal connection to his divine suffering. The lyrics also mention the interaction between Jesus and his mother, Mary, as well as the promise of paradise to the repentant thief crucified alongside him.

The song's structure and content are designed to evoke empathy and reflection on the part of the listener. By recounting the final moments of Jesus' life and his ultimate sacrifice, Poli invites the audience to contemplate the themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the fulfillment of divine will. The mention of water and blood flowing from Jesus' side is a reference to the belief in the sacraments of the Church, symbolizing the birth of the Church from the side of Christ. 'Las Siete Palabras' is not just a retelling of a biblical event; it is a spiritual meditation meant to inspire faith and devotion.
