Traguito

In 'Traguito,' iLe delves into the complex emotions of heartbreak, self-assertion, and liberation. The song's protagonist adopts the persona of a woman who is unapologetically herself, even if it means being perceived as difficult or venomous. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who is deeply hurt, yet refuses to be subdued by her pain. Instead, she embraces it, using alcohol as a metaphorical balm for her emotional wounds. The imagery of 'salpico alcohol en la herida' (I splash alcohol on the wound) suggests a raw, almost ritualistic attempt to cleanse and heal herself, even if it stings.

The chorus, 'Dice que yo no soy fácil, y qué aburrido sería,' (He says I'm not easy, and how boring that would be) underscores a defiant stance against societal expectations. iLe's character is not difficult for the sake of being difficult; she is simply true to herself. This authenticity is both her strength and her curse, as it leads her to moments of vulnerability and self-reflection. The repeated request for 'otro traguito' (another little drink) symbolizes a cyclical pattern of seeking temporary solace while grappling with deeper emotional truths.

Towards the end, the song takes on a more empowering tone. The lines 'Salud mis amores, que beber es un placer, como también es un derecho' (Cheers my loves, drinking is a pleasure, as well as a right) celebrate the act of drinking not just as a means of escape, but as a form of self-expression and liberation. iLe suggests that just as one knows how to love, one must also learn to forget. This duality of love and forgetfulness encapsulates the essence of 'Traguito,' making it a poignant anthem for anyone who has ever struggled with the complexities of love and self-identity.
