Review
Juan Luis Guerra Las Avispas lyrics meaning
Las Avispas is a song by the Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra and it was released on August 31, 2004. The song belongs to the album Para ti . Las Avispas is considerate one of the most iconic Christian songs and Latin songs of all time. The album Para ti won 2 Latin Grammys as the best Christian album and best tropical song.
There isn’t a clear reason why Juan Luis Guerra composed this song but we know do know that he is Christian and has dedicated many of his songs to worship God in his lyrics. Las Avispas contains within its lyrics many references to biblical quotes like “Por su gracia yo soy hombre nuevo” – “By his grace I’m a new man” or “De su imagen yo soy un reflejo” – “Of His Image I’m a reflection”.
The main theme of the song, Las Avispas is referring to the biblical passage in Deuteronomy 7 20 where it says “Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished”.
The song has a catchy beat and the lyrics are sung with joy and happiness to transmit to the listener a relaxing and calming experience. The lyrics start singing “I have a God admired in the heavens”, “Of his image I’m a reflection” and similar worships. The chorus says: Jesus told me to laugh if the enemy tempts me in the race, but that I shouldn’t mortify because He will send his wasp to stung the enemy.
If you are Christian this song is a must-hear because the song exalts God with its lyrics, if you aren’t Christian, you can also enjoy the song because of its catchy and tropical beat, the song is funny and contagious. Now if you are learning Spanish this song could result in a little difficult to understand as many sentences are difficult to translate, we would rate this song as hard to translate, if you use an automatized translator, you will receive a bad and poorly made translation, luckily you can find above the full lyrics translated for Las Avispas.
