Faroles literally translates to "lanterns" or "streetlights." While it might seem like a simple word, its use in this context is quite evocative and less common in everyday song lyrics.
In the song, the line "No importan faroles" (Lanterns don't matter) suggests that external appearances or superficial displays are not important during this time of unity and peace. It encourages listeners to look beyond the decorative lights and focus on the true spirit of togetherness during the holidays.
"Llegó Navidad" ("Christmas Has Arrived") is Manuel Carrasco's holiday anthem about closing out one year and welcoming the next with hope. The song looks back at everything that happened and looks forward to a new year that brings something better.
Its message is simple: Christmas belongs to everyone, without discrimination, without fear, young and old alike, in every color. The chorus repeats "Feliz Navidad, Feliz Año Nuevo" ("Merry Christmas, Happy New Year") as a wish for peace and unity that reaches the whole world, one heart at a time.
