Como Un Niño (Tanguillos)

Potito's song 'Como Un Niño (Tanguillos)' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is consumed by sadness and bitterness, unable to escape the haunting memories of a past relationship. The repetition of the phrase 'Lloro como un niño cada vez que la recuerdo' (I cry like a child every time I remember her) underscores the depth of his sorrow and the innocence of his pain, likening his emotional state to that of a child who has lost something precious.

The song is rich with metaphors that convey the protagonist's despair. He describes his former lover as his 'vi'a' (life) and now as his 'tormento' (torment), highlighting the drastic shift from happiness to suffering. The imagery of her eyes illuminating his soul and her being his guiding star in the sky suggests that she was once a source of light and direction in his life. Now, he is lost and searching for her, unable to find solace or clarity.

In his solitude, the protagonist turns to the night and the moon for comfort. He speaks to the moon, sharing his sorrows and suffering, which indicates his deep sense of loneliness and need for an outlet. The dreams he once had, filled with color and life, are now a source of pain as he reminisces about the kisses and moments they shared. The cyclical nature of the lyrics, repeating the same lines about his grief and suffering, emphasizes the inescapable loop of his heartache.

'Como Un Niño (Tanguillos)' is a poignant exploration of the lingering pain of lost love, capturing the essence of heartache and the struggle to move on. Potito's emotive delivery and the traditional flamenco style add layers of depth to the song, making it a powerful expression of human emotion.
