Fecundo translates to "fertile" or "fruitful." While often used in a biological sense, in this song, it takes on a beautiful metaphorical meaning.
The lyrics describe an "instante fecundo" (fruitful instant), referring to a moment filled with profound emotion and new beginnings. It suggests a moment ripe with potential and growth, making it a unique and evocative choice for expressing deep feelings.
Have you ever felt like you're experiencing something so profound it makes you feel young again? That's exactly what La Santa Cecilia, with Caña Brava and Caña Dulce, explore in "Volver A Los 17" [To Be Seventeen Again]. The song talks about how, after living a century, returning to seventeen is like deciphering signs without being a wise expert, or suddenly becoming as fragile as a second. It's about feeling deeply, like a child before God.
This feeling, which the singer describes as happening in a fertile instant, is like ivy tangling on a wall or moss sprouting on a stone. It's a love that changes everything, making the old young again and turning the bad pure and sincere. The lyrics say, "Lo que puede el sentimiento / No lo ha podido el saber" [What feeling can do / Knowledge hasn't been able to], suggesting that love has a power that logic and thought can't match. It's a beautiful idea about how love can open us up and make us innocent again, like a cherub turning years back to seventeen.
