The song is an anthem asking God to bless and protect the singer's family, future children, and close friends. It quickly became a hymn for peace through all of Latin America, particularly because of the line "
a Dios le pido que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre y se levante mi gente
," ? ("I ask God: may my country not shed so much blood and may my people rise up").
