Dando y Perdiendo (part. Rapsusklei)

The song 'Dando y Perdiendo (feat. Rapsusklei)' by Venezuelan hip-hop artist Canserbero, featuring Spanish rapper Rapsusklei, is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the human condition. The lyrics delve into the complexities of emotions and the struggles that come with deep affection and the pain of separation. Canserbero, known for his introspective and often philosophical lyrics, uses this track to express the turmoil of a love that cannot be fulfilled.

The song opens with a sense of suffocation from unspoken words and unrequited feelings. Canserbero references a 'great poet,' likely alluding to Pablo Neruda's famous line 'I could write the saddest verses tonight,' to convey the depth of his sorrow. The dance with 'Mrs. Loneliness' symbolizes the artist's acceptance of his solitary state, even as it causes him discomfort. The track is not just a lament of lost love but a testimony to a grand love that has turned sour, leading to a mix of love and hate for the inability to be together.

As the song progresses, Canserbero touches on themes beyond personal heartache, such as social issues like hunger and racism. He expresses a desire for a better world while acknowledging his limitations in effecting change. The repeated chorus 'Ando dando y perdiendo' (I go on giving and losing) encapsulates the essence of the song—continuing to live and give despite the losses and the pain. The lyrics are a blend of personal reflection and a broader commentary on life's challenges, showcasing Canserbero's skill as a lyricist and his ability to connect individual experiences with universal truths.
