Gloria

La Beriso's song 'Gloria' is a poignant and powerful commentary on social and political issues, wrapped in a deeply emotional narrative. The lyrics speak to the struggles and injustices faced by the common people, highlighting the disparity between the ruling class and the masses. The opening lines, 'Entre mil sueños y ausencias / voy descartando miserias,' set the tone for a journey through dreams and absences, where the protagonist discards miseries while being tied to a loved one, seeking solace in their presence.

The song criticizes the faceless flags that wave over lands, symbolizing the nameless and often forgotten struggles of the people. The line 'este mundo tan careta, no sabe cortar cabezas' suggests a world full of hypocrisy, unable to address the root causes of its problems. The plea for 'un segundo de gloria' (a second of glory) is a desperate cry for recognition and remembrance, a moment to honor those who have suffered and fought for change.

La Beriso also addresses the incoherence and corruption of those in power, 'Gobierna el que mas destella / luciendo tanta incoherencia,' pointing out the superficiality and inconsistency of leadership. The imagery of the people 'comiendo y lamiendo tanta mierda' (eating and licking so much shit) starkly portrays the degradation and subjugation of the masses. The song calls for a change in history, a break from the cycle of oppression perpetuated by 'gente asesina' (murderous people) who no longer wear uniforms but still wield power. 'Gloria' is a call to remember and honor the struggles of the past while seeking justice and change for the future.
