Suañaba Yo

Los Berrones, a band known for their unique blend of rock and traditional Asturian music, bring a whimsical and poignant touch to their song 'Suañaba Yo.' The lyrics explore the theme of dreams and aspirations, often juxtaposing the impossible with the mundane. The song opens with vivid imagery of a blind man dreaming of seeing the stars and a lame man dreaming of running. These metaphors highlight the human tendency to yearn for what seems unattainable.

The chorus, 'Suañaba yo contigo por suañar,' translates to 'I dreamed of you just to dream.' This line encapsulates the essence of the song, suggesting that sometimes the act of dreaming itself is more important than the dream's content. The song continues with more fantastical scenarios: a stuttering man dreaming of being Frank Sinatra, a deaf man hearing 'La Traviata,' and a scrawny man imagining himself as Arnold Schwarzenegger. These dreams are not just about personal desires but also reflect societal ideals and the longing to transcend one's limitations.

The recurring imagery of the two lovers 'en pelota, en porretu los dos enriba'l colchón' (naked, the two of us on the mattress) adds a layer of intimacy and vulnerability. It suggests that in the realm of dreams, we are stripped of our pretenses and are our most authentic selves. The song concludes with a pragmatic note, reminding listeners that while dreams are free and limitless, achieving them often requires effort and action. This blend of fantasy and reality makes 'Suañaba Yo' a relatable and thought-provoking piece that resonates with anyone who has ever dared to dream.
