LILI ZETINA - "LA LUNA DE MI RANCHO"
SPECIAL FEATURE. Now that the arrival of September is just a few hours away, there is no better way to begin the week and Mexico’s patriotic month than with phrases that speak to or evoke Mexican pride from a modern and contemporary perspective. Under this criterion, we must mention one of the most powerful lines from “La luna de mi rancho” by regional Mexican music star Lili Zetina. The phrase is: “No’mas por gusto no somos ausentes,” something that reaches the deepest part of the heart of anyone who has been forced to leave their homeland in search of a better future.
Appealing to an experience that touches so directly on a social situation as delicate and full of nuances is one of the greatest achievements of the single Lili Zetina released in 2025; a song that arrived at a moment when many factors contributed to sowing fear among those who had to relocate to find a path that would give them a new opportunity.
With her fiery temperament and her natural, spontaneous singing, Lili Zetina connects powerfully with audiences. Her personality—simple yet authentic—makes her the perfect figure to interpret songs of this nature. But beyond any other element that adds value to Abraham Brito’s composition, the highlight of “La luna de mi rancho” lies in the force, rawness, and sharpness of its verses. Each line evokes images that awaken nostalgia because they speak from experience, breathing the same air as those who left their families and even had to cross borders to reach their goals, face challenges, and confront obstacles life placed before them without warning. Within this, the atmosphere of the song unfolds, allowing Lili to showcase her talent beyond corridos and regional bravo.
“No’mas por gusto no somos ausentes” strikes the sensitivity, reaches directly into the heart, and hooks onto memories that may hurt but also provide enough reasons to keep fighting, to continue a project that—against all odds—must result in something positive and fulfilling. In other words, the sacrifice of leaving everything that matters must be worth it.
A phrase that leads us to reflect on a situation familiar to all; an experience that any family may face. After all, phenomena such as migration and displacement are social realities that affect us equally.
