Las Pequeñas Cosas

The song 'Las Pequeñas Cosas' by Las Chicas Del Can is a celebration of the simple, everyday moments that make up life. The lyrics transport us to an ordinary day, where the protagonist finds joy in small daily routines, such as waking up late and feeling the sunlight flooding every corner of her house. The sun, described as insolent, symbolizes the energy and vitality that fill her day, bringing a sense of renewal and gratitude for another day of life.

The narrative continues with the protagonist looking at herself in the mirror and recognizing her natural beauty, a moment of self-acceptance and self-love. The simplicity of opening the fridge and improvising a meal, or lighting a cigarette, is portrayed as everyday pleasures that, although small, bring satisfaction. Her relationship with her partner is described in a loving way, with a touch of humor in mentioning the 'infidelity' with the sun, a metaphor for the joy and warmth that the sun provides, almost like a lover.

The song highlights how these small everyday things are, in fact, the big things that give life meaning. Moments like a warm hug on a cold night, the sight of a full moon, or a kiss at the cinema, are cherished as experiences that make us live fully. Las Chicas Del Can, with their vibrant and joyful style, remind us that happiness lies in the small things, and that we should appreciate and celebrate them every day.

This version maintains the reflective and celebratory tone of the original, while conveying the essence of the song's message in English.
