Cuento de La Infancia

“Cuento de La Infancia” by Sudor Marika is a provocative exploration of non-monogamous relationships and the liberation from traditional romantic norms. The song begins with the protagonist experiencing an unexpected day off due to a protest, which leads to an early return home. This seemingly mundane event sets the stage for a life-altering discovery: the protagonist finds their partner in bed with another person. Rather than reacting with anger or betrayal, the protagonist is drawn into the scene, leading to a consensual and passionate encounter involving three people.

The lyrics delve into the protagonist's internal transformation as they embrace this new dynamic. The repeated phrase “La monogamia es puro cuento” (Monogamy is pure fiction) challenges the conventional belief in exclusive romantic relationships. The protagonist's initial shock gives way to excitement and acceptance, as they find pleasure in the shared experience. The song's narrative suggests that monogamy is a societal construct, a “tale of childhood,” and that true fulfillment can be found in more open and fluid forms of love and desire.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's perspective shifts from wanting to be the sole partner to embracing a more communal and inclusive approach to relationships. The lyrics invite others to join in, expanding the circle of intimacy and breaking down the barriers of traditional monogamy. This shift is not just about physical pleasure but also about emotional liberation and the joy of shared experiences. The song ultimately celebrates the freedom to explore one's desires without the constraints of societal expectations, advocating for a more open and accepting view of love and relationships.
