Lo Que Te Sobre

In 'Lo Que Te Sobre,' Son De Cali delves into the depths of unrequited love and longing. The song's protagonist is willing to accept even the smallest remnants of affection from their beloved. The lyrics are rich with metaphors, such as comparing himself to a piece of wood floating in the sea, yearning to become a table for his beloved. This imagery highlights his sense of insignificance and his desperate desire to be of use or value to the person he loves.

The chorus emphasizes the protagonist's willingness to take whatever is left over from the beloved's life, whether it's a fleeting kiss, a stray thought, or even a tear. The line 'Alguna noche que te sobre dámela' (Any night you have left over, give it to me) encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. The protagonist feels that even the smallest gesture from the beloved can bring immense happiness and meaning to his life. This sense of yearning is further amplified by the mention of the moon being envious of the beloved's radiance, suggesting that the beloved's presence is so powerful that it outshines even celestial bodies.

The song also touches on the idea of time and how it feels elongated in the absence of the beloved. The protagonist mentions that two hours without being able to touch the 'paradise' of the beloved's skin feels like an eternity. This hyperbolic expression underscores the intensity of his longing and the emotional toll it takes on him. The repeated plea for 'lo que sobre' (what's left over) serves as a poignant reminder of his unfulfilled desires and the lengths he is willing to go to feel even a fraction of the beloved's love.
