Cuenta

The song 'Cuenta' by Cielo Razzo delves into the complexities of love, personal struggles, and the pursuit of happiness. The lyrics open with a plea for validation and recognition of love, asking the listener to 'count' or acknowledge the depth of affection and the efforts made to change, such as giving up drinking. This sets the tone for a narrative that is both introspective and yearning.

The imagery of breaking the night into pieces and searching for a fragment suggests a restless quest for meaning or fulfillment. The protagonist's journey is marked by a sense of distance and effort, as they come from afar to be with their loved one. The crowded disco symbolizes the chaos and distractions of life, from which the protagonist tries to escape, only to promise a return, indicating a cyclical struggle.

The mention of 'moros' (a colloquial term for police or troublemakers) and the act of pulling out a 'faso' (slang for a joint) introduces elements of rebellion and coping mechanisms. The lyrics then shift to a more hopeful tone, suggesting that with time, things will improve, a sentiment echoed by a trusted voice. The protagonist's attire, a jacket and blues shoes, and the joy derived from their partner's pants, add a touch of personal and intimate detail, highlighting the small yet significant sources of happiness.

The song concludes with a powerful image of blood running through veins, symbolizing life and passion, and the long-awaited closeness of the beloved. This final moment of connection underscores the theme of perseverance and the ultimate reward of love and intimacy.
