Poquito a Poquito

The song 'Poquito a Poquito' by Marta Santos is a heartfelt ballad that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The lyrics are presented as words of wisdom, possibly from a mother to her child, offering comfort and guidance through life's challenges. The opening lines encourage the listener not to fear the darkness, suggesting that it's never too late to turn things around and that sometimes, losing is a part of winning. This sets the tone for a message of hope and perseverance.

As the song progresses, the lyrics emphasize the importance of continuing to walk one's path, to love, and to learn from mistakes. The mention of 'no hay monstruos en tu cuarto' (there are no monsters in your room) is a metaphor for overcoming childhood fears and, by extension, the fears that follow us into adulthood. The recurring theme is that pain is temporary ('Lo que hoy duele, Se ira mañana'), and that even after the rain, the sun will shine again. This metaphor for weathering the storms of life and awaiting the return of good times is a universal message of optimism.

The song also touches on the value of emotional release ('a veces es bueno llorar'), building one's own fortune, and the power of forgiveness. The artist conveys that having a brave heart and remembering one's roots and loved ones are crucial for personal growth. The idea that life's hardships make us stronger ('Cada golpe que te da la vida te hace más fuerte') is a common theme in many cultures, and Marta Santos encapsulates this beautifully in her music. 'Poquito a Poquito' is not just about healing the soul gradually, but also about the support system that helps one through the journey ('Tu familia y amigos contigo estarán por siempre').
