Tan Poco (feat. Mangus)

In 'Tan Poco,' Irepelusa, featuring Mangus, delves into the complexities of a love that is both intoxicating and fraught with challenges. The song opens with the acknowledgment of societal judgment, as the protagonists come from 'distintos mundos' or different worlds. Despite this, the narrator confesses to falling in love, even as they recognize the emotional baggage and scars their partner carries. This sets the stage for a relationship marked by mutual incompleteness and past wounds.

The chorus poignantly captures the essence of their connection: 'Hueles a peligro y yo amo ese perfume,' which translates to 'You smell like danger, and I love that perfume.' This metaphor highlights the allure of a risky relationship, one that is both thrilling and perilous. The repeated lines 'Di mucho y me dieron poco' ('I gave a lot and received little') underscore a sense of imbalance and unfulfilled expectations. Both partners are depicted as incomplete, having given much of themselves in past relationships only to receive little in return.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the pain of separation and the realization that they cannot 'salvarte sangrando' or save their partner while they themselves are bleeding. This metaphor speaks to the impossibility of healing someone else when one is still wounded. The song concludes with a somber acceptance of their mutual incompleteness and the recognition that neither could meet the other's expectations. 'Tan Poco' is a raw and honest exploration of love's imperfections, the scars we carry, and the bittersweet beauty of loving someone despite the broken pieces.
