Dime Cuánto (feat. Delaossa)
Hard GZ (Lil GZ)
The Price of Dreams: A Journey Through Struggle and Aspiration
“Dime Cuánto” by Hard GZ (Lil GZ) featuring Delaossa is a poignant exploration of the struggles and aspirations of urban life. The song delves into the harsh realities of growing up in a challenging environment, where dreams are often forged from the concrete of the streets. The recurring question, “Dime cuánto” (Tell me how much), serves as a powerful metaphor for the cost of achieving one's dreams and finding happiness amidst adversity.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's past, filled with moments of hardship and reflection. Hard GZ reminisces about a time when he and his friends were “tira'os en el banco” (lying on the bench), symbolizing a period of aimlessness and struggle. The song also touches on themes of redemption and forgiveness, as the artist acknowledges his past mistakes and the ongoing consequences of his actions. The line “Y aún estoy pagando por mis actos” (And I’m still paying for my actions) highlights the lingering impact of past decisions.
Delaossa’s verse adds another layer to the narrative, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and hard work. He reflects on the dreams they had and the sacrifices made to pursue them, underscoring the necessity of resilience in the face of adversity. The imagery of “la coraza de piel” (the skin armor) and “pesadillas de hierro” (iron nightmares) conveys the emotional and psychological toll of their journey. The song also captures the fleeting nature of time and the urgency to make the most of it, as expressed in the line “Vivimos rápido y nos olvidan despacio” (We live fast and are forgotten slowly).
“Dime Cuánto” is a powerful anthem for anyone who has faced obstacles in the pursuit of their dreams. It speaks to the universal experience of striving for a better life, the sacrifices made along the way, and the hope for a brighter future. The song’s raw honesty and emotional depth resonate deeply, making it a compelling reflection on the human condition.
