The day after, same as the one before
I need a change
I speak to my generation, I write this song
So that it does some good
I'm not alone, I already know
Not even the sun melts my smile
I've got on my side that I'm from the north
There's no way that they take my dream from me
I'm not alone, I already know
Not even the sun melts my smile
I've got on my side that I'm from the north
There's no way that they take my dream from me
I never had anything, but always love
Though with a dose of pain, always under the sun
I know what it is to suffer, I saw Dad cry
And Mom fake it, uhm, yeah
I saw my sister trust blindly in me
My land has history, I'm part of it
I want to cross that bridge leaving my mark
I'm a man, not a star
There's something that can't be bought
Loyalty, values, good hearts
No posh kid will steal my future
I built it, it was hard
I grew up here, here I want to die
My land lives in me
For those who aren't here, for my family
So that the kids smile again
I'm not alone, I already know
Not even the sun melts my smile
I've got on my side that I'm from the north
There's no way that they take my dream from me
I'm not alone, I already know
Not even the sun melts my smile
I've got on my side that I'm from the north
There's no way that they take my dream from me
You're not alone
Your voice in the present
Is a great treasure
Today our voices unite
Like a golden thread
That shines in the siesta
My Santiago, I adore you

SONG MEANING

“Santiago” feels like a heartfelt postcard from northern Argentina. Rusherking and the legendary folklorist Onofre Paz trade verses that celebrate their roots in Santiago del Estero, a hot, sun-baked province where loyalty, family, and community shine brighter than any spotlight. Over a modern beat blended with folk flavors, they admit life can repeat itself “día posterior, igual al anterior,” yet their smiles refuse to melt even under the scorching sun. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of childhood scarcity, a father’s tears, a mother’s brave face, and a sister’s blind faith, all set against the backdrop of wide-open plains and siesta skies.

Despite hardship, the song bursts with pride and determination. Rusherking calls on his generation to build a fairer future, insisting that no wealthy outsider can steal the dreams he has hammered together “con cuota de dolor.” Being “del norte” is his superpower, and the chorus repeats the mantra that he is never alone—his family, his people, and his province sing with him. By the time Onofre Paz lovingly addresses “Mi Santiago, yo te adoro,” the track has become both a rallying cry and a warm embrace, urging listeners to honor their origins, protect their values, and chase their dreams with unbreakable northern grit.
