pudor — modesty / shame

Pudor translates to "modesty" or "shame", often implying a sense of reserve or inhibition, especially regarding one's body or actions.

In the song, the line "Hoy no tengo ningún pudor" (Today I have no modesty/shame) suggests a moment of liberation and vulnerability. The singer is shedding inhibitions and embracing a raw, unreserved connection, making it a compelling word that hints at a deeper emotional journey within the lyrics.

Bunbury's "Alaska" is a fantastic escape! It's all about wanting to run away to a made-up town in Alaska, somewhere "que no figure en los mapas, no haya sido registrado" [that doesn't appear on maps, hasn't been registered]. He dreams of a slow life there, with old songs on the radio and poems, surrounded by nature: "Rodeado de lagos, de bosques y montañas" [Surrounded by lakes, forests and mountains]. It feels like a fresh start, a place where logic doesn't matter and he can finally be himself, saying "Hoy no tengo ningún pudor" [Today I have no shame].

This song is a powerful declaration of freedom. Bunbury talks about leaving behind old burdens, like having "abandonado la muralla, Las armas he entregado" [abandoned the wall, I have surrendered the weapons]. He describes himself as an "animal que ruge brutal" [animal that roars brutally] that wants to "salir y volar" [go out and fly], full of renewed strength and fire in his eyes. It's a call to break free from expectations and embrace a wilder, more authentic self. It's like he's saying, 'I've paid my dues, and now it's time to live fully!'
