Garua (part. Alberto Podestá)

Pedro Laurenz's song 'Garua,' featuring Alberto Podestá, is a poignant exploration of loneliness and heartache, set against the backdrop of a cold, desolate night. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with weariness and cold, where the wind carries a strange lament. The night is described as a well of shadows, and the narrator walks slowly through these shadows, feeling the weight of his sorrow.

The term 'garua,' which refers to a light drizzle, is used metaphorically to describe the persistent and piercing sadness that the narrator feels. This drizzle accentuates the pain in his heart, making the night even colder and more personal. The narrator is trapped in his thoughts, constantly thinking about his abyss, which symbolizes his deep emotional turmoil. Despite his efforts to hate, discard, and forget the person who caused him pain, he finds himself remembering her even more.

The imagery of the heart walking alone and sad on the sidewalk, feeling the coldness of the drizzle, emphasizes the depth of the narrator's despair. The mention of a 'gotera' (leak) opened by the person's forgetfulness suggests that the narrator's heart is now vulnerable and exposed to the elements. The song concludes with the narrator feeling lost, like a goblin searching in the shadows, and the sky itself seems to cry in sadness. 'Garua' is a masterful portrayal of the enduring pain of lost love and the inescapable nature of loneliness.
