Voy a Rugir

“Voy a Rugir” by Hitomi Flor is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and personal transformation. The song narrates the journey of someone who has long been silent and invisible, suppressing their feelings and voice to avoid causing disturbance. This silence is depicted as a form of self-neglect, where the protagonist's emotions and thoughts were consistently overlooked, both by themselves and those around them.

The turning point in the song comes with the realization that their voice matters. The lyrics, “Porque aprendí que soy así / También importo, lo entendí,” highlight a newfound understanding and acceptance of their own worth. This marks the beginning of a transformation from invisibility to visibility, from silence to expression. The protagonist decides to break free from their self-imposed silence, embracing their right to speak out and be heard.

The recurring metaphor of the tiger’s strength and the roar symbolizes this newfound power and confidence. The lines, “Tengo la fuerza del tigre / Guerrera, no hay quien me detenga,” emphasize an inner strength that is fierce and unstoppable. The roar represents the protagonist’s voice, now loud and assertive, demanding to be heard. This transformation is not just about speaking out but also about recognizing oneself as a champion, a warrior who has overcome internal battles to stand strong and proud.

“Voy a Rugir” is a celebration of self-empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their inner strength and assert their presence in the world. It’s a call to break free from the chains of silence and invisibility, to roar with confidence and pride, and to recognize and celebrate one’s own worth and power.
