avispas — wasps
Avispas literally translates to "wasps". It's an unexpected and vivid word in a song, especially when used metaphorically.
In this song, Juan Luis Guerra uses "avispas" in a playful yet powerful way. He sings about God sending "Mis avispas para que lo piquen" (My wasps so they sting him) to deal with the enemy. It's a unique and memorable image that adds a touch of Caribbean folklore and humor to the spiritual message of overcoming adversity.
