De Madrugada

Pedro Faura's song "De Madrugada" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the themes of resistance, unity, and the enduring spirit of humanity. The song opens with the imagery of dawn, a time when the sky is still red, symbolizing both the beginning of a new day and the potential for change. The narrator speaks of taking the love given to them and using it as a catalyst to awaken those who are still asleep, suggesting a call to action and awareness.

The lyrics emphasize the connection to the earth and the shared journey with those who have passed but remain alive in spirit. This connection is further highlighted by the mention of factories and wheat, representing both industrial and agricultural elements of society. The repeated assertion that "only by fighting together will we not be defeated" underscores the importance of solidarity in the face of oppression. The song suggests that even when life’s windows are closed, and burdens are heavy, the collective strength of the living and the dead stands against such forces.

Faura's lyrics also convey a sense of hope and reclamation. The promise of feeling the earth as one's own and the air reaching everyone again speaks to a vision of equality and freedom. The reflection on past identities and the ongoing struggle to define who we are today serves as a reminder of the continuous fight for justice and self-determination. "De Madrugada" is not just a song but a rallying cry for unity, resilience, and the enduring fight for a better world.
