Song Meaning of “Animales – Animals” by Basho & Friends
‘Animales – Animals’ by Basho & Friends is a song that celebrates the joy of humanity’s connection to animals. The lyrics invoke a sense of reverence and awe for the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom. The music plays like a hymn, expressing the deeply spiritual connection we have with the creatures around us.
The beginning of the song starts off with an urgent reminder of how interconnected we all are, with humanity, nature, and the animal kingdom:
“We are animals, that’s what we are/Take care of us and of our friends/Take care of us and of our world.”
The song then shifts to a more positive, uplifting tone, chanting: “[T]ell me one by one/The stories of all beloved animal kingdoms”. The song is making a call for us to appreciate the similarities that tie together these different creatures – the uniqueness that fuel their stories and help us connect to them.
Through its powerful chorus of “Animales, animales/Islas de especies/Todos cada vez/Todos cada momento,” the song is expressing the idea that even though all animals seem so dissimilar we are still bound together in an eternal circle of life – and death.
