'The idea was to make a song that sounded like it had been around for 100 years, being sung on street corners,' says Lin_Manuel

Photo: Disney Arriving onscreen in the third act of Disney’s Encanto, the acoustic guitar ballad “Dos Oruguitas” plays over a tragic flashback. Alma Madrigal, a.k.a. Abuela — the stern matriarch of a magical family, each member of which has been mysteriously drained of their superhuman powers — relives the romance and sacrifice tied to the Madrigal clan’s foundational myth, helping explain the action up until that point in the film.

I was inspired by some of the visuals coming out of the animation department. The way they had depicted the miracle that begins the movie’s whole journey: this candle flame that turns into a butterfly.

Then the goal becomes, How do you write a song that feels like it’s always existed? One, create a strong nature metaphor because those survive any kind of current cultural references. And two, I really just had my Spanish-language thesaurus next to me. A lot of what limits me is just vocabulary — the right word for the right moment. I just chipped away at it bit by bit.

What’s wonderful about working with Disney is the visuals are so incredible, I felt confident the visuals would get us across the divide. The song doesn’t have to do all the work in a very real sense. So you don’t need a literal translation of what’s happening to understand the story. I think of that opening sequence in Pixar’s Up. You see an entire marriage and life in about nine minutes. There are no lyrics underlining that.
