Permiso y Prometo

The song 'Permiso y Prometo' by Las Pastillas del Abuelo, an Argentine rock band known for their poetic lyrics and blend of rock, blues, and other genres, is a heartfelt ode to unconditional support and freedom in a relationship. The lyrics are structured around the dual themes of seeking permission ('permiso') and making promises ('prometo'), which together create a narrative of mutual respect and commitment.

The verses of the song are a series of pledges from the speaker to their partner, offering both guidance and the freedom to make their own choices. The repeated use of 'permiso' suggests a deep respect for the partner's autonomy, while 'prometo' indicates a commitment to be there for them, whether it's to share in their joys, support them through challenges, or allow them the space to grow and explore. The song emphasizes the balance between being a supportive partner and recognizing the other's need for independence.

The chorus reinforces this balance by promising a 'world uncontainable' and an 'endless game,' metaphors for a life filled with endless possibilities and the joy of shared experiences. The song's message is clear: true support in a relationship involves both the willingness to be there for someone and the understanding that love means letting the other person have the freedom to pursue their dreams and make their own mistakes. 'Permiso y Prometo' is a celebration of love that empowers and liberates, rather than confines.
