Song Meaning of “Puerto de la Paz” by Jose “Papo” Rivera
Puerto de la Paz, written by Jose “Papo” Rivera, paints a vivid image of his journey of resilience and healing after dealing with the tragedy of his father’s passing. The song encapsulates a place of peace, understanding and healing for Papo as he begins the difficult process of putting his life back together.
The verses illustrate the journey that Papo had to go on to find peace. He yearns for this place of peace and eventually finds it, when he realizes that his father is with him in spirit. No matter the distance, Papo finds solace in the idea of his father always being with him.
The chorus of the song is a declaration that despite all the pain and tragedy that can be endured in life, there is always hope at the end of the dark tunnel. Puerto de la Paz is an anthemic invitation to continue on the journey to better days, with the belief that a place of healing and redemption can be (and will be) found.
