Traductor (part. Lasso)

Big Soto's song 'Traductor,' featuring Lasso, delves into the complexities of communication within a romantic relationship. The lyrics highlight the frustration and confusion that arise when two people, despite speaking multiple languages, fail to understand each other on an emotional level. The repeated phrase 'Yo no te entiendo' (I don't understand you) underscores the central theme of miscommunication, suggesting that love has its own language that cannot be easily translated or understood through conventional means.

The song uses a mix of Spanish, French, and English to emphasize the idea that linguistic proficiency does not necessarily equate to emotional understanding. The lines 'Si me hablas en inglés, te entiendo / Si me hablas en francés, te entiendo / Si me hablas en español, te entiendo / Pero si hablas de amor' (If you speak to me in English, I understand you / If you speak to me in French, I understand you / If you speak to me in Spanish, I understand you / But if you speak of love) poignantly capture the disconnect between verbal communication and emotional comprehension. This metaphor extends to the idea that love is a unique language, one that requires more than just words to be truly understood.

Culturally, the song reflects the modern-day challenges of relationships, where misunderstandings and emotional disconnects are common despite the availability of multiple ways to communicate. The reference to 'escuela católica' (Catholic school) adds another layer, hinting at the traditional values and teachings that might contribute to the complexity of understanding each other's emotional needs. The song's catchy rhythm and relatable lyrics make it a poignant reflection on the universal struggle to connect with loved ones on a deeper level.
