Mis Latidos

The song 'Mis Latidos' by Don Osvaldo is a poignant reflection on life, integrity, and the inevitability of change. The lyrics convey a deep sense of introspection and a commitment to living authentically, even in the face of life's uncertainties. Don Osvaldo, an Argentine rock band, is known for their heartfelt lyrics and rock melodies, often exploring themes of personal growth and existential contemplation.

The opening verses of 'Mis Latidos' set a scene of missed opportunities and the natural beauty that might go unappreciated ('ocasos', 'el mar', 'el sol'). However, the chorus pivots to a declaration of unwavering self-truth ('jamás habré negado mis latidos'), suggesting that despite what is missed or lost, the speaker remains true to their heartbeats, or inner convictions. The phrase 'en honor a la verdad' (in honor of the truth) reinforces the importance of living by one's principles.

As the song progresses, it acknowledges the challenges of aging ('me oxide la destreza'), the fear of loss ('temor a que no vuelvas'), and the possibility of facing adversity ('el infortunio'). Yet, the repeated chorus emphasizes that the speaker would never deny their true self or compromise their values for relief or convenience. The final lines suggest that facing life's hardships with integrity may come at a cost ('el precio de haber sido uno mismo'), but imply that this cost is worth paying for the sake of truth and principle. 'Mis Latidos' is a testament to the strength found in authenticity and the courage to live by one's own heartbeats.
