The Ideal Partner: A Dream of Perfection in 'Serás' by Pedrina y Rio
In 'Serás,' Pedrina y Rio paint a vivid picture of an ideal partner, blending humor, hope, and a touch of realism. The song's protagonist envisions a perfect companion who embodies a mix of traditional and modern virtues. The lyrics describe a man who is not only kind and chivalrous but also talented and handsome. This ideal partner is expected to be persistent in his pursuit, as the protagonist has learned from past experiences and is not easily swayed. The mention of 'kissing fat and lanky toads' humorously alludes to the fairy tale trope of kissing frogs to find a prince, highlighting the protagonist's past disappointments in love.
The song continues to outline the qualities of this perfect partner, emphasizing education, domestic skills, and fidelity. The protagonist desires a man who is well-mannered and educated, though not necessarily holding a postgraduate degree. The emphasis on being good at home and faithful 'like a pet' underscores the importance of trust and reliability in the relationship. The protagonist's heart has been broken before, and she sees this ideal partner as the one who can mend it, making him 'perfect for reconstruction.'
Humor and light-heartedness permeate the song, especially in lines about wanting a partner who can make her laugh both 'inside and outside the bed.' This blend of humor and earnestness makes 'Serás' a relatable and endearing anthem for anyone who has ever dreamed of finding their perfect match. The repeated refrain 'Serás, serás, lo que yo quiero que tú seas, tú serás' reinforces the idea of molding a partner to fit one's desires, while also acknowledging the fantasy aspect of such perfection.
