“Juventud” is an upbeat cumbia that dives straight into the whirlwind of adolescence. The lyrics capture that classic I-know-it-all phase: the singer is growing fast, sure he is always right, and convinced he will stay young forever. Frustration bubbles over when older voices try to guide him, leaving him feeling so misunderstood that he even flirts with the dark idea of giving up, just to prove his point.
The mood shifts when the sky “lights up” and a honey-eyed angel appears in the garden. Through this mystical conversation, the young narrator starts to listen instead of rebel. Once he understands the lessons he had rejected, his outlook brightens and he decides to change his attitude toward everyone around him. In just a few verses, Los Ángeles Azules turn a story of teenage angst into a hopeful reminder that guidance can arrive in unexpected ways and that youth is about learning, not just knowing.
