Sangue (part. Hard GZ)

The song 'Sangue' by Tanxugueiras, featuring Hard GZ, is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, longing, and the deep connection to one's homeland. The lyrics are a blend of Galician and Spanish, reflecting the cultural richness of Galicia, a region in Spain known for its unique language and traditions. The recurring imagery of 'salitre nas veas' (salt in the veins) and 'bágoas que son choiva' (tears that are rain) evokes a sense of being intrinsically tied to the sea and the land, suggesting that the essence of the singer's identity is deeply rooted in their homeland.

The song's chorus, 'Ai, terriña, terra, leva / Lévame a marea / Xunto aos que me viron medrar,' translates to 'Oh, little land, take me / Take me with the tide / To those who saw me grow up.' This refrain underscores the yearning to return to one's roots and the people who have been a part of one's upbringing. The sea, a powerful symbol in Galician culture, represents both a physical and emotional journey back to a place of comfort and familiarity.

Hard GZ's verses add a layer of contemporary struggle and disillusionment. He speaks of the harsh realities of life, the sacrifices made for success, and the emotional toll of being away from home. Lines like 'Tiempo que perdí que no puedo recuperar' (Time I lost that I can't recover) and 'Prostituir tu arte pa' pagarte una vivienda' (Prostitute your art to pay for a home) highlight the personal costs of pursuing dreams and the longing for a simpler, more genuine existence. The song ultimately paints a vivid picture of the push and pull between ambition and the deep-seated desire to return to one's origins.
