Del pulmón

Rosendo's song 'Del pulmón' delves into the complexities of a relationship marked by imbalance and sacrifice. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are entangled in a dynamic where one person is giving more than they receive. The opening lines, 'Con poco más de lo que tienes y algo que te ponga yo,' suggest a transactional nature to their interactions, where the speaker is constantly providing for the other person, only to be repaid in a manner that feels insufficient and unbalanced.

The metaphor of 'bailas al son que te conviene' highlights the self-serving nature of the other person, who dances to the tune that suits them best, without regard for the speaker's well-being. This is juxtaposed with the speaker's deteriorating health, symbolized by 'yo enfermo del pulmón,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the emotional and physical toll the relationship is taking on them. The imagery of smoking a carton while the other person comes and goes further emphasizes the speaker's sense of neglect and sacrifice.

The concluding lines, 'Que desastre somos dos, uno quiere y otro no,' encapsulate the essence of the song. It speaks to the fundamental disconnect between the two individuals, where one is invested and the other is indifferent. This line poignantly captures the heartache and frustration of loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings, making 'Del pulmón' a powerful exploration of unbalanced relationships and the personal cost of unrequited love.
