VERDADERO

Natalia Lacunza's song 'VERDADERO' is a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and authenticity. The lyrics convey a powerful message about embracing one's true self and the journey of understanding and accepting one's own identity. The song begins with a sense of disillusionment, as the narrator wishes for others to see through illusions and understand her true nature. She expresses a sense of resignation, having stopped trying to make others understand her, and instead, she focuses on being true to herself.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the authenticity of her feelings, describing them as 'verdadero' (true) and 'duro como el hierro' (hard as iron). These metaphors highlight the strength and permanence of her emotions, suggesting that they are unyielding and genuine. The imagery of her feelings flying like a bird and traveling with the wind evokes a sense of freedom and liberation, as if embracing her true self has allowed her to soar and move freely. The repetition of 'And I just can't hide it' underscores the inevitability and transparency of her authenticity.

In the second verse, Lacunza reflects on past mistakes and regrets, asking for forgiveness for not recognizing the right moment to shine and for hiding her true self. She describes a transformation where her once bitter experiences now taste sweet like honey, symbolizing a newfound appreciation for her journey and growth. The golden desires and the sacredness of her true self further emphasize the value and purity of her authenticity. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of her genuine feelings and the impossibility of hiding them any longer, celebrating the beauty and strength of being true to oneself.
