Retrato de La Lluvia

Los de Siempre's song 'Retrato de La Lluvia' is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and solitude, painted through the metaphor of rain. The lyrics evoke a sense of melancholy as the rain falls gently on the flowers, symbolizing the tears and sorrow that the protagonist feels. The imagery of the rain on the forehead and the distant landscapes seen through absent eyes suggests a deep emotional distance and a yearning for connection that remains unfulfilled.

The song delves into the protagonist's attempts to find solace and love in the natural world, as they search for 'kisses fallen in the grass' and express a desire to illuminate the beloved's gardens with dreamed caresses. This longing is met with a sense of despair, as the protagonist feels close to the beloved yet remains emotionally distant, symbolized by the 'dream of cypress alone in the rain.' The cypress, often associated with mourning and solitude, underscores the depth of the protagonist's isolation and unrequited love.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist expresses a desire to fill the beloved's space with light and to understand and heal their past sorrows. The rain, which initially symbolizes sadness and separation, becomes a metaphor for the emotional barriers that the protagonist wishes to overcome. The song's melancholic tone and vivid imagery create a powerful narrative of love's complexities, the pain of unfulfilled desires, and the hope for emotional connection and healing.
