"Rehén" narra la lucha de estar atrapado en la pena e indecisión por decirle a alguien lo que sientes, musicalmente tiene influencias en el son jarocho y ritmos latinos tradicionales, usando también instrumentos eléctricos que generan una frescura interesante.

Rehén

Las flores que crecen en mi alma
No son más que símbolos de
La esperanza

He envuelto destellos de emociones
Como trenzas de luz
Atravesando mis canciones
Mientras te veía crecer
Lejos de la tierra que te vio nacer

Supimos fragmentar el aire
Para así, no dejarnos colgados
Lado a lado a los sentimientos
No cauterizados
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber

Respira hondo
Que ahora podemos
Duérmete una noche entera
Que el mañana no existe
Leonardo

Ya voy ya voy
Y te salvo
Si pudiera
En este mismo momento
Iría ya de un salto

TRANSLATION:

The flowers that grow within my soul
Are nothing but symbols of hope

I’ve wrapped glints of emotions
Like braids of light
Through my songs
While I saw you grow 
Far from the land
That saw you be born

We knew to fragment the air
So as to not leave us hanging
Side by side to feelings
Not cauterized
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing

Breathe deeply
Because now we can
Sleep an entire night
Because tomorrow does not exist

Leonardo
Leonardo

I’ll go, I’ll go
And I’ll save you
If I could
In this very moment
I’d take a leap and be there

One of Latin music’s most compelling voices, Silvana Estrada makes music that feels timeless, unmoored from genre yet deeply rooted in heritage. In this exclusive commentary, the Mexican singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist breaks down the tracks from her self-produced album, ‘Vendrán Suaves Lluvias.’ Of “Como un Pájaro,” she says, “I was struggling with insomnia, lonely and sad, sleeping through the day and singing at night, contemplating my own existence.” On “Milagro y Desastre” she contemplates the risk of falling in love as “that moment when you’re about to jump into the unknown, maybe it’s going to be a miracle or maybe it’s going to be a disaster.” Tracks like “Qué Problema” and “Ser de Ti” were born while on tour in Spain, “playing them live, trying something different and getting to understand the real spirit of the songs.” Listen as Silvana Estrada delves into these tracks and others, only on SoundCloud.
