rebélate — rebel
Rebélate is the imperative form of the verb rebelarse, meaning "to rebel" or "to revolt". It's a strong call to action, urging listeners to stand up against injustice.
In "El Sistema," Brray uses this word to directly challenge the established order, encouraging people to question authority and fight against a corrupt system. It's a powerful and politically charged term that encapsulates the song's core message of defiance and empowerment.
