Triste Verano (part. Eladio Carrión)

Anuel AA's song 'Triste Verano,' featuring Eladio Carrión, delves into the emotional turmoil of a summer spent without a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man grappling with the pain of separation, using metaphors and cultural references to express his anguish. The recurring theme of a 'triste verano' (sad summer) underscores the contrast between the typically joyful season and the protagonist's inner sorrow. The use of 'bluntsote enrola'o' and 'diez gramo'' suggests that he turns to substances to numb his pain, highlighting a common coping mechanism for dealing with heartbreak.

The song's narrative revolves around the protagonist's struggle to move on from a past relationship. He laments the absence of his former lover, feeling lost and disconnected ('nos tratamo' como extraño''). The mention of 'otro verano sin ti' and 'odio San Valentín' emphasizes the cyclical nature of his suffering, as each passing season and holiday serves as a painful reminder of what he has lost. The reference to Boston's coldness metaphorically represents the emotional distance and chill he feels from his ex-partner.

Anuel AA's raw and candid lyrics reveal his vulnerability and desperation. He admits to using drugs and taking naps to escape his thoughts ('uso droga' y tomo siesta'), and his repeated calls that go unanswered ('llamo y llamo con cojone' y tú no contesta'') illustrate his longing for reconnection. The song also touches on the idea of pretending to be unaffected ('fingiendo que daño no has causa'o'), a facade many can relate to when dealing with heartache. Ultimately, 'Triste Verano' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the struggle to heal in the face of enduring emotional pain.
