Julieta Venegas Explosión song meaning and English lyrics explained

Julieta Venegas is a Mexican singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer. She was born in Long Beach, California, in 1970, but grew up in Tijuana, Mexico. She began playing instruments at age 8, and her parents encouraged her love of music. She studied classical piano, cello, and musical theory, and she also sang in a choir.

Julieta Venegas is a popular and respected artist in both Mexico and the United States. She has toured extensively, and she has performed at major festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza. She is also a vocal advocate for social justice, and she has worked with organizations such as UNICEF and Amnesty International

Explosión – “Explosion” is a song released in 2015. Explosión is a very important song by Julieta Venegas because the lyrics talk about the violence rate in her country Mexico. Through its poignant lyrics, the song weaves a narrative of countless unnamed victims who tragically lost their lives, transcending mere labels like José, Pedro, Flor, or María tearing families apart as authorities nonchalantly collect the deceased. The lyrics say people don’t understand what is justice for as no one apologizes to the dead.

Explosión is an easy song to learn Spanish, and I really enjoyed translating it, Julieta Venegas's songs are always a pleasure to hear because of the lyrics, the rhythm, and her voice. As I said, the song is really easy to translate the sentences are short and simple and there are basic simple verbs to practice such as “Levantar, despertar”.
