La Valeriana - LA PRADERA DE HIERVASVUENAS

Intro: Michael Parenti
One of the laws of Capitalist motion and development is this inexorable expansion, and that means expansion into and expropriation of the Third World—a process that's been going on for about 400 years—perpetrated by the Portuguese, the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Belgians, the French, the English, and most recently, most successfully, most impressively, by the Americans–that is, by the ruling classes of these countries, not by the ordinary people. The ordinary people simply sent their sons off to die–

Verse: La Valeriana
No sé si quiero despertar
Si puedo mejorar
Si me queda por amar

No sé si volvería alguna vez
Si jugaría a tu ajedrez
Si perdonaría tu mal querer

Song Description:

edit soundcloud
La Valeriana's song "La Pradera de Hierbas Buenas" delves into the complexities of capitalist expansion and the exploitation of the Third World. The haunting intro by Michael Parenti sets the stage for a reflection on the centuries-long history of imperialism and colonization by European powers and, more recently, by the Americans.

The lyrics of the song express a sense of uncertainty and introspection, with La Valeriana questioning whether she wants to wake up, if she can improve herself, and if there is still love left to give. She ponders whether she would ever return, play a game of chess with her lover, or forgive their past wrongdoings.

The haunting melody and poignant lyrics of "La Pradera de Hierbas Buenas" create a somber yet thought-provoking atmosphere, inviting listeners to contemplate the impact of capitalist expansion and the enduring effects of colonialism on individuals and societies.
