Hagámoslo

El Ultimo De La Fila's song "Hagámoslo" is a poignant narrative of unfulfilled love and longing. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman named Marifé, who he sees every afternoon by the river as she washes clothes. Despite his strong feelings for her, he is painfully aware of the barriers that stand between them: both are married, and she has children. This creates a sense of forbidden love, as societal norms and personal commitments prevent them from being together.

The song is rich with metaphors and cultural references. The river, a recurring motif, symbolizes the flow of life and the passage of time, as well as a place of routine and reflection. The act of washing clothes by the river is a traditional and communal activity, highlighting the simplicity and intimacy of rural life. The man's devotion is evident as he watches Marifé with 'ojitos en llamas' (eyes on fire), indicating his burning desire and admiration. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of resignation and melancholy, as he acknowledges the sadness and betrayal of life ('qué triste es la vida, triste y traicionera').

The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by the artist's musical style, which blends rock with flamenco influences, creating a sound that is both passionate and reflective. El Ultimo De La Fila, known for their poetic lyrics and evocative melodies, capture the essence of unspoken love and the pain of unattainable desires. The repeated plea for Marifé to give him a chance ('si usted me da su licencia') underscores the man's desperation and hope for a moment of connection, even if it is fleeting.
