Sueño (feat. Pablo Alborán)
Beret
The Tug of Love and Sacrifice in 'Sueño'
The song 'Sueño,' a collaboration between Beret and Pablo Alborán, delves into the complexities of a relationship where imbalance and sacrifice are central themes. The lyrics express a deep sense of introspection and the struggle of giving more to a partner than to oneself. The narrator acknowledges being unfaithful to his own principles for the sake of the relationship, indicating a loss of self in the process of trying to keep the bond alive.
The chorus, 'Vente conmigo, vente conmigo, ven,' which translates to 'Come with me, come with me, come,' is a plea for the partner to stay and work through their issues together. It reflects the desire to resolve the 'I want but I can't' dynamic that often plagues relationships. The song uses the metaphor of flying and dreaming to describe the creation of a kingdom with one's own hands—a kingdom where dreams are both the foundation and the escape. This imagery suggests a world built for the partner, yet it also hints at the weight and responsibility that comes with such a creation.
The song's emotional depth is further highlighted by the acknowledgment of the narrator's perceived role as the 'bad one' in the relationship. Despite this, there is a call for a narrative without villains or heroes, indicating a wish for a more nuanced understanding of their shared story. The repeated invitation to 'fly and dream' together, despite the burdens they carry, underscores the hope for a shared future that transcends their struggles.
