QUEBRANTO (feat. Lasso)
Leo Rizzi
The Heartache of Longing and Loss
Leo Rizzi's song "QUEBRANTO," featuring Lasso, delves into the emotional turmoil of longing and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of temptation and regret, with the opening lines suggesting a struggle between desire and restraint. The mention of "religion" and "sins" casts a shadow over the heart, indicating a moral or emotional conflict that the protagonist grapples with. This internal battle is further emphasized by the heart's tendency to err, suggesting a recurring pattern of mistakes or misjudgments in matters of love.
The chorus captures the essence of pain and longing, with the repeated phrase "Duele, cómo duele" ("It hurts, how it hurts") underscoring the depth of the protagonist's emotional suffering. The imagery of a "quebranto" (a break or fracture) burning the heart conveys a sense of irreversible damage, a wound that refuses to heal. The protagonist's desire to leave, expressed through the repeated "Me voy" ("I'm leaving"), highlights a need to escape the source of pain, yet there's an underlying sense of inevitability, as if the cycle of hurt is inescapable.
The song also touches on themes of distance and isolation, with the passage of time and the protagonist's growing detachment from "home" serving as metaphors for emotional estrangement. The longing for warmth and light, symbolized by the sun that refuses to shine through the window, reflects a yearning for hope and healing. The plea "No me olvides" ("Don't forget me") at the end of the song suggests a fear of being left behind or erased from memory, adding another layer of vulnerability to the narrative.
