Somos Muchos Más Que Vos

El Cuarteto de Nos, a renowned Uruguayan rock band known for their satirical and often poignant lyrics, delves deep into the themes of betrayal and emotional turmoil in their song 'Somos Muchos Más Que Vos.' The song's narrative is a heartfelt lament from the perspective of someone who has been deceived by a lover. The opening lines set a sorrowful tone, with the protagonist crying and feeling the weight of their sadness, as their eyes are described as 'tristes y están rojos' (sad and red) from the tears shed.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's emotional state, highlighting the uncertainty and pain caused by the lover's infidelity. The line 'se llora porque se llora y uno no se desengaña' (one cries because one cries and one does not become disillusioned) suggests a sense of inevitability and helplessness in the face of betrayal. The protagonist's realization that they are not the only one being deceived is encapsulated in the line 'si supiera tu marido que con el ya somos tres' (if your husband knew that with him, we are already three), indicating a complex web of deceit involving multiple parties.

The chorus, 'Somos muchos más que vos' (We are many more than you), underscores the extent of the lover's betrayal, suggesting that there are numerous others who have been similarly deceived. The protagonist's anguish is further compounded by the realization that the lover's affections are not genuine, as expressed in the lines 'si entre los tres tus caricias como dadivas repartes' (if among the three of us, you distribute your caresses like gifts). The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the lover's lack of a true heart, encapsulating the protagonist's sense of betrayal and the futility of their love.

El Cuarteto de Nos masterfully uses metaphors and vivid imagery to convey the deep emotional pain of betrayal, making 'Somos Muchos Más Que Vos' a powerful exploration of love, deceit, and the human condition.
