Recordar Para No Olvidar

Malón's song 'Recordar Para No Olvidar' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of resistance, memory, and identity. The lyrics are a call to remember the past to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The song opens with a scathing critique of corrupt authorities, specifically targeting the police and other figures of power who exploit and oppress the people. The phrase 'maldita policia' (damned police) sets a tone of defiance and anger, reflecting the band's frustration with systemic corruption and social injustice.

The chorus, 'Recordar para no olvidar' (Remember to not forget), serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of historical memory. It emphasizes the need to hold onto the values and identity that define a community, especially in the face of violent and oppressive times. The repetition of 'de tiempos violentos' (of violent times) underscores the urgency and gravity of the message, suggesting that the struggles of the past are still relevant today.

Malón also touches on the consequences of a society that has lost its way. Lines like 'La educación perdida, un pueblo sin pensar' (Lost education, a people without thought) highlight the detrimental effects of a failing educational system and a populace that has been deprived of critical thinking. The song calls for a collective awakening, urging people to reclaim their heritage and fight against the forces that seek to undermine their dignity and freedom. Through its raw and unfiltered lyrics, 'Recordar Para No Olvidar' becomes a rallying cry for social justice and a testament to the enduring power of memory.
