Dueños Del Ritmo (feat. Gustavo Cordera)

“Dueños Del Ritmo” by Cruzando El Charco, featuring Gustavo Cordera, is a poetic exploration of friendship, freedom, and the shared human experience. The song opens with an invitation to join a journey, symbolized by the act of removing shoes to feel the earth and witness the sunset. This imagery sets the tone for a deeper connection with nature and each other, emphasizing simplicity and presence in the moment.

The lyrics continue to weave a narrative of mutual support and companionship. The lines about following each other to places where flowers bloom suggest a desire to alleviate sadness and share in the beauty of life. This mutual following and leading highlight the reciprocal nature of true friendship, where both parties are willing to support and be supported.

The chorus, “Somos almas danzando al borde del abismo, bailando mano a mano, somos dueños del ritmo,” translates to “We are souls dancing on the edge of the abyss, dancing hand in hand, we are masters of the rhythm.” This powerful metaphor speaks to the precariousness of life and the strength found in unity. Dancing on the edge of the abyss suggests living life fully despite its uncertainties, and being “masters of the rhythm” implies a sense of control and harmony achieved through togetherness.

The recurring theme of crossing the river symbolizes transitions and the search for a place where one feels more vibrant and alive. The river can be seen as a metaphor for life's challenges and the journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of friendship and the shared journey, encapsulating the essence of camaraderie and the joy of shared experiences.
