Soylazoila

The song 'Soylazoila' by Árbol is a humorous and poignant narrative that explores themes of love, betrayal, and self-discovery. The lyrics tell the story of a man who, after years of dating, marries his beloved and settles into a routine life. They buy furniture, enjoy Sunday meals at his mother's house, and listen to football games on the radio. This idyllic life is abruptly shattered when his wife leaves him for another man, a gaucho, who is described in vivid and somewhat exaggerated terms.

The protagonist's heartbreak is palpable as he recounts how his wife left him to buy cigarettes and never returned. The gaucho, with his rustic charm and dangerous demeanor, becomes the object of the protagonist's jealousy and anger. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when the protagonist confronts the gaucho in a bar, leading to a knife fight. However, in a surprising twist, the protagonist finds himself falling in love with the gaucho during the confrontation, captivated by his honey-colored eyes and the romantic imagery of the countryside.

The song concludes with the protagonist embracing a new identity as a transgender person, traveling from town to town and showcasing their new self. This transformation is both literal and metaphorical, symbolizing a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. The humorous tone of the song, combined with its unexpected twists, makes 'Soylazoila' a unique and thought-provoking piece that challenges traditional notions of love and identity. Árbol's distinctive musical style, blending rock with folk elements, adds depth to the storytelling, making the song a memorable and impactful experience.
