Qué Cosas Tiene La Vida

Roberto Lambertucci's song "Qué Cosas Tiene La Vida" delves deep into the emotional turmoil and heartache that often accompany love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the most bitter and terrible hours of their life, feeling utterly devoid of consolation. The protagonist is so consumed by their pain that they have lost the will to continue living, feeling mocked by the love that once brought them joy. This intense emotional struggle is a testament to the power of love and its ability to both uplift and devastate.

The chorus, "Qué cosas tiene la vida, qué distintos son los sueños," reflects on the unpredictable nature of life and how dreams and passions can change over time. What was once a source of passion has now become a song of futile effort, a black tear that poisons and a hammer blow that shatters hopes. The imagery of a gentle rain from the eyes flooding the heart with sadness is particularly poignant, capturing the depth of the protagonist's sorrow. The song speaks to the universal experience of having one's dreams and expectations upended by the harsh realities of life.

In the final verses, the protagonist is engulfed in a night of tremendous bitterness and horror, where memories pass slowly and painfully. The loss of illusion and hope that their loved one might return to erase the pain of their love is palpable. The repetition of the phrase "he perdido el corazón" underscores the depth of their despair, as they feel they have lost not just their love, but their very heart. Lambertucci's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make "Qué Cosas Tiene La Vida" a powerful exploration of the complexities and ironies of life and love.
