Escandalo

The song 'Escandalo' by Pasteles Verdes delves into the tumultuous and passionate nature of a love that defies societal norms and expectations. The lyrics express the pain and joy of a relationship that is constantly under scrutiny and judgment from others. The phrase 'Por que tu amor es mi espina' (Because your love is my thorn) encapsulates the bittersweet nature of this love, where the joy of being together is marred by the constant gossip and criticism from the outside world. The repeated mention of 'escandalo' (scandal) highlights how their love is perceived as controversial and unacceptable by society.

Despite the societal backlash, the song encourages perseverance and resilience in love. The lines 'No hagas caso de la gente, sigue la corriente y quiereme mas' (Don't pay attention to people, go with the flow and love me more) suggest a defiant attitude towards societal norms. The song advocates for the idea that true love is worth fighting for, even if it means going against the grain and facing public condemnation. The lyrics emphasize that the real shame lies not in loving boldly, but in not knowing how to love at all.

The dream of escaping societal judgment is vividly portrayed in the verse 'Si yo pudiera algun dia, remontarme a las estrellas, conmigo te llevaria, a donde nadie nos viera' (If I could someday, fly to the stars, I would take you with me, where no one could see us). This imagery of escaping to a place where their love can exist without judgment underscores the desire for a pure, untainted love. The song ultimately conveys a powerful message about the strength and resilience required to maintain a love that is constantly under fire, and the importance of staying true to one's feelings despite external pressures.
