Los Sueños

Green Valley's song 'Los Sueños' is a poignant reflection on the nature of dreams and the fleetingness of life. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, convey a deep sense of longing and a desire to cherish every moment. The recurring line 'Sueño por la noche, sueño por el día' which translates to 'I dream at night, I dream by day,' emphasizes the constant presence of dreams in the narrator's life, whether they are asleep or awake. The dreams range from the simple pleasures of life, like feeling the sun or the desire to see a loved one, to more profound aspirations such as freedom and peace.

The song also touches on the importance of appreciating the small moments that make life vibrant. The advice to 'walk calmly but without hurry' and to 'learn to value and enjoy what does not warn' suggests a philosophy of mindfulness and living in the present. This is further reinforced by the acknowledgment that life is finite, as expressed in the line 'Los sueños sueños son y la vida se termina' ('Dreams are dreams, and life ends').

Moreover, 'Los Sueños' delves into the universal longing for peace and the pain of global issues, such as war and hunger, as mentioned with references to Baghdad and Iraq. The artist's dreams of peace contrast with the harsh reality of the world, creating a powerful message about the disparity between our hopes and the world we live in. The repetition of 'sueño' (I dream) throughout the song serves as a mantra, reinforcing the idea that while we may not be able to control the world around us, we can still hope and dream for a better future.
