Aprendiendo a Soñar

Los Secretos' song "Aprendiendo a Soñar" delves into the complexities of life's journey, marked by moments of failure, fear, and the struggle to find hope. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of facing one's destiny head-on, encountering obstacles and setbacks that make it challenging to move forward. The line "De la mano del fracaso y del miedo es tan difícil olvidar" (Hand in hand with failure and fear, it's so hard to forget) encapsulates the emotional weight of past disappointments and the difficulty of overcoming them.

The song also touches on the theme of unrequited love and the pain of unexpressed emotions. The protagonist writes a love song that will never be heard, symbolizing the futility and frustration of trying to connect in a world that often survives on lies. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the imagery of waiting for the sun to rise, a metaphor for hope and new beginnings. The repeated phrase "aprendiendo a soñar" (learning to dream) suggests a continuous effort to find optimism and start anew despite the hardships.

Moreover, the lyrics explore the duality of life's experiences, represented by the contrast between summer and winter, warmth and cold, joy and sorrow. The line "Cada paso que conduce al infierno es tan difícil de olvidar" (Every step that leads to hell is so hard to forget) highlights the enduring impact of negative experiences. Yet, the song also carries a message of resilience, as the protagonist strives to laugh instead of cry and to keep moving forward. This resilience is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to learn, adapt, and dream even in the face of adversity.
