La Enemistad

La Tabaré's song 'La Enemistad' delves into the complexities and often painful realities of friendship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of disillusionment and betrayal, using metaphors and imagery that evoke a sense of loss and resignation. The opening lines set the stage with a scene behind bottles, hinting at a social setting where friendships are formed and tested. The mention of 'nuestra rubia mireya' suggests a shared experience or a common bond that is now in a corner, perhaps neglected or forgotten.

The song's narrative progresses through a series of metaphors that highlight the emotional toll of broken friendships. Phrases like 'patadas en los huevos' and 'besos que volaron' convey the physical and emotional pain of betrayal. The repeated theme of being 'presos de la resignación' underscores a sense of entrapment and helplessness, as the characters in the song grapple with the fallout of their relationships. The imagery of drinking 'el aguacero del perdón' and 'cavando el agujero del perdón' in January suggests a futile attempt at reconciliation, digging deeper into the cold, hard ground of their discontent.

As the song reflects on years of 'rock y desengaños,' it becomes clear that the protagonist has lost many friends due to self-absorption and neglect. The line 'mirándome el ombligo sin condón' is a stark admission of selfishness and vulnerability, leading to a summer of 'des-amor, desgano, desazón.' The final verses reveal a sense of clarity and acceptance, as the protagonist acknowledges that they no longer desire certain friendships. The mention of 'probos re-rockeros' and 'robos y rateros' suggests a disillusionment with the music scene and its players, who have taken a piece of the protagonist's heart.
