Mi viejo dijo a mi vieja

The Weight of Expectations and Legacy

Walls' song "Mi viejo dijo a mi vieja" delves into the complex emotions surrounding familial expectations, personal growth, and the pursuit of legacy. The lyrics open with a poignant observation from the artist's father, noting the increasing distance between him and his eldest son. This distance is not just physical but emotional, as the father learns about his son's life through the impersonal lens of the internet. The artist reflects on missing significant family events, like the annual fair, highlighting the sacrifices made in pursuit of personal dreams and ambitions.

The song also explores the artist's journey of self-discovery and acceptance. From early rejections at the age of five to realizing at ten that he wouldn't become a soccer star, Walls narrates his path to finding his true calling. By fifteen, he was recognized for his unique talent, suggesting a shift from societal expectations to embracing his individuality. This journey is marked by a sense of resilience and determination, as the artist acknowledges the mental toll of striving for greatness and the importance of leaving a meaningful legacy.

Throughout the song, Walls emphasizes the value of personal principles and memories over material wealth. He contrasts the fleeting nature of life with the enduring impact of one's legacy, suggesting that true richness lies in how one transcends beyond their physical existence. The repeated refrain of "me agota la paciencia" underscores the artist's frustration with societal pretensions and the pressure to conform. Ultimately, the song is a powerful reflection on the importance of staying true to oneself and the lasting impact of one's actions and memories.
