Cuanto Cuesta

La Beriso's song 'Cuanto Cuesta' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of enduring unspoken pain and the struggle to keep moving forward despite it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has shed countless tears in silence, whose nights are sleepless, and whose days are filled with the hope of seeing a loved one again. The recurring question, 'Cuanto mas, decime cuanto, decime cuanto mas,' reflects a desperate plea for an end to the suffering, highlighting the unbearable weight of the emotional burden they carry.

The song also touches on the theme of self-deception as a coping mechanism. The line 'Voy mintiéndome para poder vivir' suggests that the protagonist lies to themselves to survive the day-to-day pain. This is a powerful metaphor for the lengths people go to in order to manage their emotional distress. The mention of a star that 'no me para de seguir' symbolizes a constant reminder of their pain, something that follows them no matter where they go.

Furthermore, 'Cuanto Cuesta' resonates with a universal experience of shared suffering. The line 'Cuanta gente camina igual que yo' acknowledges that many people walk the same path of hidden pain, making the song relatable to a broad audience. The repeated question of 'Cuanto cuesta guardarme este dolor' underscores the high emotional cost of keeping such pain bottled up inside. La Beriso's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Cuanto Cuesta' a powerful exploration of human vulnerability and resilience in the face of enduring hardship.
