Lágrima

Lolabúm's song 'Lágrima' is a poignant exploration of emotional vulnerability and the complexities of human connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their emotions, symbolized by the recurring motif of tears ('lágrima'). The opening lines, 'Mi cabeza besa las piedras / Arrastro mis zapatos, pierden equilibrio,' suggest a sense of weariness and imbalance, as if the protagonist is physically and emotionally weighed down by their struggles. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist engages in 'tontas cosas' or 'silly things,' perhaps as a way to cope with their inner turmoil.

The song's chorus introduces a powerful metaphor: 'Tu boca se abre como un diccionario / Y tus labios sonríen y dicen palabras / Nunca antes dichas por un ser humano.' Here, the artist likens the beloved's mouth to a dictionary, filled with words that are both familiar and profoundly unique. This metaphor highlights the transformative power of love and communication, as the protagonist's own lips can only utter 'te amo'—a simple yet deeply meaningful expression of love. The repetition of 'y los míos te amo' underscores the sincerity and intensity of these feelings.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more introspective tone: 'Y he escuchado que andabas llorando / Y he escuchado una canción en forma de lágrima.' This suggests a shared experience of sorrow, as if the protagonist and their beloved are connected through their tears. The final lines, 'Todo lo que tengo lo dejo en tus manos / Apuntan al cielo con un gesto raro / Lluvias tropicales,' evoke a sense of surrender and hope. By leaving everything in the beloved's hands and pointing to the sky, the protagonist seems to find solace in the idea of tropical rains—perhaps a metaphor for cleansing and renewal.
