Frases Propias

Juan Bisso's 'Frases Propias' is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the pursuit of dreams. The song opens with the poignant line, 'Me rompiste el corazón y los pedacitos te siguen amando,' which translates to 'You broke my heart, and the pieces still love you.' This sets the tone for a narrative of enduring love despite heartbreak. The imagery of a shattered heart that continues to love its breaker is a powerful metaphor for the lingering emotions that often accompany a breakup. The line 'Rómpemelo de nuevo que me rompo la pera escabiando' suggests a cycle of pain and self-destruction, where the protagonist turns to alcohol to cope with their emotional turmoil.

As the song progresses, Bisso shifts from personal heartbreak to broader life advice. He contrasts the protagonist's lofty dreams with the more modest aspirations of their partner, encapsulated in the line 'Yo quería alto partido y vos? Un amistoso de barrio.' This highlights a fundamental mismatch in their relationship goals. The song then delves into the theme of dreams and aspirations, urging listeners to 'No sueñes tu vida mejor vive tus sueños,' or 'Don't dream your life, better live your dreams.' This call to action encourages taking risks and living life to the fullest, rather than being bogged down by overthinking and missed opportunities.

The song also touches on the pain of letting go and the futility of holding onto the impossible. 'Soltar duele, y sostener lo insostenible?' asks whether it's more painful to let go or to hold onto something unsustainable. Bisso advises against seeking fairy-tale endings, instead advocating for finding happiness in the present moment: 'Y no busquen tanto cuento con final feliz, busquen ser feliz sin tanto cuento.' This line, which translates to 'Don't look for a story with a happy ending, look to be happy without so much story,' encapsulates the song's core message of finding joy in reality rather than in idealized fantasies.
