Si Sentís

Las Pelotas' song 'Si Sentís' delves into the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the duplicity and superficiality that often characterize social interactions. The opening lines, 'Si te quieren de golpe / No te quieren más,' suggest a fleeting and insincere affection, highlighting how quickly admiration can turn into disdain. This theme of hypocrisy is further explored with lines like 'Si te abrazan, te odian, sin disimular,' where the act of embracing is juxtaposed with underlying hatred, emphasizing the falsehoods people often hide behind smiles and gestures of affection.

The song also touches on the idea of maintaining one's authenticity in the face of societal pressures. The repeated advice to 'Bajale la gorrita no lo dudés más' can be interpreted as a call to drop the facade and be true to oneself. The lyrics 'Si te importa una goma lo que va a pasar' suggest a carefree attitude towards the future, advocating for living in the moment and not being bogged down by others' opinions. This is reinforced by the chorus, which repeatedly urges the listener to 'Dale, dale, dale,' a phrase that can be seen as an encouragement to keep pushing forward despite the challenges.

Cultural references to neighborhood gossip and societal norms are evident in lines like 'Si las trolas de barrio se ponen a hablar / Olvidá el comentario por que vas atrás.' Here, the song advises ignoring the trivial and often malicious chatter that can derail one's path. The imagery of wearing a 'Camiseta del disfrás' and 'No salís sin antifaz' underscores the idea that people often hide their true selves behind masks and costumes, whether out of fear or societal pressure. Las Pelotas uses these metaphors to critique the superficiality and encourage a more genuine way of living.
