Maite Zaitut
Mago de Oz · Finisterra [2000]
Para que el frío en ti no pueda entrar
Quiero ser la luz en tu camino
Sol en la noche, agua dulce en el mar
Ser la puerta que nunca deje pasar
A la luz, silencio y a la soledad
Ser distintos cuerpos con un mismo fin
Ser cariño mío, ser yo en ti
Y si he de romper cadenas que me aten
A la costumbre, yo las partiré
Y si he de mover montañas que en mi mente
No me dejen verte, mi amor las moveré
Pongo por testigo a Dios que no te fallaré
Yo seré consejo nena pero no tu juez
El tiempo me enseñó que el alimento del amor es la confianza, el respeto y un colchón

Mago de Oz's "Maite Zaitut" stands as a quintessential example of the artist's mastery within the Spanish folk metal genre. Recorded for the album *Finisterra* in 2000, the track exemplifies the band's signature fusion of traditional Spanish instrumentation with heavy, atmospheric metal production. The song reflects the broader themes often explored in Mago de Oz's discography, particularly the intersection of Celtic mythology and the rugged landscapes of the Basque Country. As part of the group's early work, the recording showcases the band's ability to blend acoustic guitar and mandolin with distorted guitars and powerful vocals, creating a soundscape that has become a staple in the European folk metal canon. The composition remains a defining piece of the artist's catalog, illustrating the evolution of their musical identity during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
