La Increíble Historia Del Cartón Que Quería Ser Cometa

Bambikina's song "La Increíble Historia Del Cartón Que Quería Ser Cometa" tells a whimsical yet profound story about a piece of cardboard that dreams of becoming a kite. The narrative begins in the Retiro Park, where the crumpled paper, surrounded by swings, yearns to soar high above the clouds. This metaphor of the cardboard represents unfulfilled dreams and the desire for transformation and freedom.

The story takes a turn when a child discovers the cardboard while playing with squirrels. The child takes it home and, with the help of some craft supplies, transforms the old cardboard into a kite. This part of the song highlights the innocence and creativity of childhood, where even the simplest objects can be turned into something magical. The kite's first flight is a moment of triumph, but it also brings a bittersweet twist as the kite escapes the child's grasp, symbolizing the fleeting nature of dreams and the inevitability of change.

As the song progresses, the child grows up, losing the ability to dream and becoming consumed by the mundane aspects of adult life. The once-aspiring cardboard kite now appears as a ghostly reminder of the past, carrying the memories of childhood and lost dreams. This haunting image serves as a poignant reflection on how the pressures and responsibilities of adulthood can stifle our imagination and aspirations. Bambikina uses this story to evoke a sense of nostalgia and to remind listeners of the importance of holding onto their dreams, no matter how unattainable they may seem.
