Man Recordings is happy to announce the release of the new single "La Mujer Dormida" by Daniel Haaksman which features Berlin based, Chilean singer MALAGÜERA on the microphone.
“La Mujer Dormida” (“The sleeping woman”) is inspired by a volcano in Mexico called Iztaccíhuatl, between the state of Mexico and Puebla. This volcano also received the name “The sleeping woman", because its form resembles the one of a woman lying on her back. In Aztec mythology, Iztaccíhuatl was a princess who died in grief waiting for her beloved and the gods turned her into a volcano covered in snow.
The song lyrics of “La Mujer Dormida” are also based on the poem "Volcán Osorno" by Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, in which she admires the Osorno volcano and its surrounding landscapes, near lake Llanquihue, in the very south of the huge Latin American continent. In the song lyrics, MALAGÜERA talks as if she was in love with the flame mountain, admiring and adoring it, getting intoxicated by its beauty, its landscape and powerful force.
This is the first single from the 4th album by Daniel Haaksman, "Sonido Lava", scheduled for a spring 2023 release on Man Recordings.
lyrics
Tierra mágica como ninguna
De una potencia que casi hiere,
que casi mata.
Ella me embriaga,
me arrebata,
y me purifica.
Puedo escuchar tu voz,
puedo sentir tu fuerza.
Mi vida corre despacio,
pasan los minutos, las horas.
Una visión sagrada,
en la madrugada estalla la lava.
La mujer yace dormida,
cubierta en su manto blanco.
Esperando su llegada,
solita se va quedando.
Es la tierra que tiembla,
el fuego que lleva dentro.
Es el canto de mi alma,
el grito que llevo dentro,
mi cuerpo en movimiento.
Que me hacen, que me llevan, que me matan...
Que me hacen despertar.
Me arrebata, me mata, me embriaga.
Los vientos, los soles, las aguas,
la hacen despertar.
Me purifica, me enciende, ilumina.
Me llena de vida.
Tierra de Fuego, Tierra de Vida.
