about
“Siento una Pena” (“I Feel Sorrow”) is the second single from Guajirando, the debut album from Mito y Comadre. It is a composition inspired by our hometown and the mother figure, an attempt to reconnect with the inner child and the paths that have led us to the present. This song symbolizes a refuge on days of insecurity, a search for a connection, staying grounded and a conversation with the soul.
Guillermo Lares recalls: “‘Siento una Pena’ was written one night, after leaving the recording studio in the village of Minca in Santa Marta, sitting by the river at daybreak, remembering the place where I was born and my mother.”
The video for “Siento una Pena” is an animation depicting the journey of a migrant through different scenes and a canoe trip through various places until he comes to the sea. He comes across spirits that keep him company on his travels. The use of photos of natural scenes from Venezuela transports us to real landscapes of great significance.
The video was directed by the Peruvian animation studio Tenis, which produced Novalima’s Ch’usay. It was made remotely during the pandemic. There is a great cultural affinity between different South American countries, so they understood perfectly the feelings that the song transmits.
lyrics
Siento una pena
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Ayer me dijo que cuando ella se va
Un minuto ‘e tambores va a sonar
Un pajarillo, con alas pa’ volar
Lo que vivimos, lo que vivimos será
Mamita linda
Mamita mi luna
Mamita mi río
Mamita no se olvida
Mamita mi tierra
Madre cielo
Madre Juana
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Mamita linda
Mamita mi luna
Mamita mi río
Mamita no se olvida
Mamita mi tierra
Madre cielo
Madre Juana
Mamita linda
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Porque por dentro siento esa pena mama
Mamita linda
Mamita mi luna
Mamita mi río
Mamita no se olvida
Mamita mi tierra
Madre cielo
Madre Juana

I Feel Sorrow
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Yesterday she said that when she leaves
A minute of drums will sound out
A little bird, with wings to fly
What we lived, what we lived will be
Beautiful mother
Mother my moon
Mother my river
Mom don’t forget
Mother my earth
Mother heaven
Mother Juana
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Beautiful mother
Mother my moon
Mother my river
Mom don’t forget
Mother my earth
Mother heaven
Mother Juana
Beautiful mother
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Why do I feel this sorrow inside, mom?
Beautiful mother
Mother my moon
Mother my river
Mom don’t forget
Mother my earth
Mother heaven
Mother Juana
