Cosas Dulces

Marilina Bertoldi's song 'Cosas Dulces' delves into the intricate dynamics of a romantic relationship, exploring themes of control, opposition, and the desire for connection. The opening lines, 'Si amarte es pesado / Y hablarte es peor,' suggest that loving and communicating with the partner is burdensome, hinting at a relationship fraught with challenges. Despite these difficulties, the speaker questions the need to rush into control, indicating a struggle between the desire for stability and the natural chaos of love.

The metaphor of 'Tus trenes me llaman / Se van y yo estoy' paints a vivid picture of opportunities and moments passing by, with the speaker feeling left behind or out of sync. This imagery captures the essence of trying to make things work, whether together or apart, highlighting the uncertainty and effort involved in maintaining the relationship. The line 'Tratando de hacerlo / Con vos o sin vos' underscores this ambivalence, reflecting the internal conflict of whether to continue the relationship or move on independently.

The phrase 'La mala costumbre / De ser como sos' points to the habitual nature of the partner's behavior, which, despite being problematic, draws them closer in a paradoxical way. The song culminates in an invitation, 'Si querés te invito a verme / Acercate que yo sólo tengo / Cosas dulces para hacerte,' offering a moment of tenderness and sweetness amidst the turmoil. This closing sentiment suggests a longing for intimacy and a desire to bridge the gap, proposing that despite the complexities, there is still room for affection and connection.
