“Dos Oruguitas” by Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra wraps a tender love story inside the gentle flutter of two little caterpillars. These oruguitas cling to each other through nights, dawns, and a world that keeps shifting under their tiny feet. Their embrace feels eternal, yet nature quietly nudges them toward change: to spin separate cocoons, to trust the unknown, and to bloom into something brighter. The song’s sweet melody mirrors this bittersweet moment, reminding us that sometimes the bravest act of love is letting go so both souls can grow.
Halfway through, the lyrics weave into the world of Encanto, revealing family wounds, heartfelt apologies, and the power of forgiveness. The caterpillars’ metamorphosis becomes a mirror for the Madrigal family’s journey: miracles appear, chrysalis walls break, and new wings unfold when each person faces change with courage and hope. In just a few verses, “Dos Oruguitas” transforms from a simple nature tale into a soaring anthem about growth, resilience, and the magical future that awaits when we allow ourselves to fly.
