Adivinalo

Rosario Flores' song 'Adivinalo' is a poetic exploration of life's dualities and the unpredictable nature of human experiences. The lyrics are rich with metaphors, painting a vivid picture of the highs and lows that define our existence. The song opens with a melancholic tone, comparing life to a blues song, filled with both shadows and light. This duality is further emphasized through the imagery of a 'maldita historia' (damned story) and a 'trébol de cuatro hojas' (four-leaf clover), symbolizing misfortune and luck intertwined.

The chorus, 'Adivinalo,' which translates to 'Guess it,' invites listeners to ponder the unpredictable nature of life. Flores describes life as both the moon and the sun, cold and heat, and a mix of fun and poison. These contrasts highlight the complexity and unpredictability of our journey. The lyrics suggest that life can be a tragedy disguised as a comedy, where promises are broken, and chains bind us. The uncertainty of winning or losing is what makes life intriguing and worth living.

As the song progresses, it shifts to a more hopeful tone. The imagery of a new dawn, a mirror of water, and forgotten sorrows suggests renewal and the promise of a brighter future. The mention of an 'arco iris' (rainbow) within reach and dreams coming true evokes a sense of optimism and the magic of unexpected joy. The song concludes with the idea that understanding and connection can be found in the most surprising moments, encapsulated in the line 'es la mano que se encuentra cuando nada se esperaba' (it's the hand that is found when nothing was expected). 'Adivinalo' is a celebration of life's mysteries, urging us to embrace its unpredictability and find beauty in its contrasts.
