Falta Envido

La Farsa Del Dr. Berretin's song "Falta Envido" delves into the theme of repeated mistakes and the feeling of living in an upside-down world. The lyrics are rich with metaphors, particularly drawn from the game of Truco, a popular card game in Argentina. The phrase "falta envido" is a term from this game, representing a high-stakes bet. The singer reflects on how many times he has made errors, likening his life to making a bold bet without the right cards to win. This metaphor extends to the broader theme of taking risks and facing the consequences of those risks, often leading to disappointment and failure.

The song's narrative continues with the singer expressing a sense of frustration and resignation. He describes moments of silence and missed opportunities, where he had the right cards but still ended up losing. This can be interpreted as a broader commentary on life's unpredictability and the feeling of being out of control. The repetition of the phrase "del revés" (upside-down) emphasizes the disorientation and confusion that comes with these experiences. The singer's journey is marked by a series of missteps and the constant hope that things will eventually turn around.

In the final verses, the singer resolves to stop leaving his fate to chance. He decides to take the first train to the "mundo del revés" (upside-down world), a place where he hopes to understand and perhaps change his luck. This decision signifies a turning point, a determination to confront the chaos and find a way to navigate through it. The song ends on a note of cautious optimism, with the singer promising to share his experiences if his luck changes, highlighting a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil.
