Flor Lyrics in English by Los Rivera Destino, Benito Martínez

Siembra is the verb for "to sow" or "to plant" a seed. It's a word you'd typically hear in the context of farming or gardening, not a pop song.

In this tribute to fathers, the artists use siembra metaphorically to make a powerful point. They sing, "No es quien siembra una semilla / Es quien la conserva y la cuida" (It's not who plants a seed / It's who preserves and cares for it), suggesting that being a true parent is about the nurturing and love you provide, not just the biological act of creation. It's a beautiful use of the word that connects perfectly to the song's title, "Flor" (Flower).

This song is a beautiful and surprisingly funny thank you letter to fathers and father figures. Los Rivera Destino and Benito Martínez use the metaphor of a flower to talk about a father, calling him a “flor delicada que a veces se esconde” (a delicate flower that sometimes hides). The song makes it clear that being a father isn't just about biology. The most important line might be “No es quien siembra una semilla / Es quien la conserva y la cuida” (It’s not who plants a seed / It’s who keeps it and cares for it). It’s a celebration of the men who raise you, whether they are your biological dad, a stepfather, an uncle, or a grandfather.

What makes this song so special is its honesty and humor. It has modern lines like, “No existen tutoriales en YouTube / Donde enseñen a ser más como tú” (There are no YouTube tutorials / that teach how to be more like you). It also includes one of the most direct lyrics you'll ever hear about where babies come from: “Yo no soy más que una reacción / De una eyaculación que soltaste un día” (I am nothing more than a reaction / to an ejaculation you released one day). It’s a blunt but heartfelt way of saying, from one flower to another, thank you for life.
