Ecos translates to "echoes". It's a beautiful and poetic word that you won't find in every song.
In "Soñar", Carla Morrison sings about "borrar los ecos que me dan / que dicen que no puedo" (erasing the echoes that tell me / that I can't). She uses ecos metaphorically to represent the persistent, negative voices of others who doubt her dreams. It’s a powerful image about silencing criticism to chase your ambitions.
Carla Morrison's "Soñar" is a beautiful and powerful song about chasing your dreams, no matter what anyone else says. She starts by declaring, "Yo tengo un sueño / Lo quiero alcanzar" (I have a dream / I want to reach it), even though others tell her she can't. It's a feeling many of us know well, but she finds strength in her mother's words: "Las alas, te di yo / Para que pudieras volar" (I gave you wings / So you could fly).
This isn't just about ignoring haters; it's an active fight. She acknowledges that people will judge her for everything from what she wears to her personal truths ("mi bandera o mi verdad"). Some people are even betting she'll fail. But she decides their words don't matter: "Que lo que digan, va y viene" (What they say, comes and goes). Instead, she promises to "insistir" (insist) and "luchar" (fight) to erase the echoes telling her she can't dream.
