Cepeda publishes “The old shirt”, a song in defense of sexual freedom and diversity


  • The Galician singer composes a new single to support the LGTBIQ+ collective


  • “It shouldn’t matter if the boys want Barbies and the girls want Action Man,” he says on the track.


  • 2022 is also a very productive year for Cepeda, as it releases a lot of great music.

Cepeda released this Wednesday “The Old Shirt”, a surprise song for his fans whose lyrics are in defense of sexual freedom and diversity. The Galician singer wanted to support the homosexual community and all those who want to love without fear of being rejected or marginalized because of their feelings. “This song is a hymn to freedom, freedom of expression, freedom of love and freedom of gender, human rights to exist that are often truncated by the most classist thought and care of people still living in the last century,” the singer posted on Twitter coinciding with the single’s release.

In the song there are lyrics like “Two men saw it pass / They went hand in hand, it can’t be tolerated / It’s not normal, it’s not traditional / Wearing an old shirt isn’t natural” or “Life takes many turns, it shouldn’t matter / That boys want Barbies and girls want Action Man.” With a waltz-like start that turns into a pop-rock song, Cepeda signs a message of commitment in favor of sexual diversity and clear and clear support for the LGTBIQ+ collective, much applauded on social networks.

“I’m proud to follow a guy who gets involved in politics, who not only sings about love, which is good too, but who sings about the important things that are happening and gives voice to what many of think of us. A brave and great song”, said one of his disciples. “I’m not a fan of Luis but I listen to him sometimes. And I love that he wrote a song with such important lyrics. I hope there will be a time when no one wonders who you are. hold hands or if a boy plays with barbies and a girl with a doer,” another said.

Cepeda is currently touring all over Spain with “Sempiterno”. He started in April in Madrid, where he sold all the Sala Cool tickets, and now he travels all over Spain.

Sempiterno is an adjective that also admits the feminine (sempiterna), which comes from the Latin sempiternus and which the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language defines as follows: “Which will last forever; which, having had a beginning, will have no end”. There is also another meaning that the RAE collects: “Wool fabric, coarse and very dense, which was used for dresses”; and there is a plant which receives this name Curiously, the sixth book published by Offreds also bears the same title.

2022 is also a very productive year for Cepeda, as it releases a lot of great music. The artist, in addition to releasing “Qué bonito”, began the year with the release of “Otro día más” and in June with “Nené”, dedicated to his mother.

Lyrics of “The Old Shirt” by Cepeda

This is the story of this boy who wanted to reign

In his house, the father reigns and his mother cooks

He was playing soldiers, he thought he was a general

The girls, to the dolls and to the boys, to fight

And, after a few years, two men saw

They went together, you can’t tolerate

It’s not normal, it’s not traditional

Wearing an old shirt is unnatural

Who closed the wings of the boy who sang in the sun?

Who painted his clothes green?

Who was so stupid to make her doubt love

Of two free souls, the color of another nation?

And history repeats itself and now he can be a daddy

Home a flag and they don’t want nothing else

He played soldiers and I don’t know what will happen

If life gives you a son that’s not traditional

This is not normal, the child is sick

With the new shirt, it will pass

Who closed the wings of the boy who sang in the sun?

Who painted his clothes green?

Who was so stupid to make her doubt love

Of two free souls, the color of another nation?

Who closed the wings of the boy who sang in the sun?

Who painted his clothes green?

Who was so stupid to make her doubt love

Of two free souls, the color of another nation?

It was the story of this boy who wanted to reign

In the end, mothers rule and fathers cook.

Life takes many turns, it shouldn’t matter

That boys want Barbies and girls, Action Man
