Todo a Cien

Fito & Fitipaldis' song 'Todo a Cien' delves into the complexities of love, life, and self-worth with a blend of humor and raw honesty. The opening lines, 'Puedes pedirme la luna, ¡qué locura! / Fijo que te traigo un queso,' set the tone for the song's playful yet poignant exploration of expectations versus reality. The artist humorously suggests that while grand gestures like bringing the moon are impossible, he can offer something more modest, like cheese. This metaphor highlights the disparity between idealized love and the practical, often mundane, realities of relationships.

The lyrics continue to explore the theme of love with a touch of cynicism, 'Puedes pedirme amor, ¡hay qué dolor! / Al precio que esta la carne, me conformo con un beso.' Here, the high cost of 'carne' (meat) symbolizes the high emotional cost of love, suggesting that a simple kiss is a more attainable and less painful form of affection. The artist further dismantles fairy tale notions of romance by stating, 'Ni tu eres la princesa de este cuento / Ni a besos vas a convertirme en rana,' emphasizing that neither partner fits the idealized roles often portrayed in stories.

The chorus, 'Es poco lo que tengo / El oro de mi tiempo / La flor de mis neuronas / Y por supuesto la luna,' reflects a sense of self-awareness and acceptance. The artist acknowledges that he has little to offer materially but values his time, intellect, and dreams. This sentiment is reinforced by the lines, 'Y hace tiempo que sé que el mundo no es mío ni mi hogar / Paso por la vida de alquiler / De turismo sexual,' which convey a sense of detachment and transient existence. The final line, 'Y si la vida es una orgia, yo voy a de paja mental,' uses a vivid metaphor to express the artist's preference for mental and emotional engagement over physical indulgence, encapsulating the song's introspective and philosophical nature.
