Un Sufrido

The song 'Un Sufrido' by Treintisiete is a raw and gritty portrayal of street life, relationships, and the struggles of maintaining a certain lifestyle. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply entangled in a life of excess and hedonism, marked by drug use, partying, and infidelity. The artist uses vivid imagery and street slang to convey a sense of authenticity and to connect with listeners who may be familiar with similar experiences.

The narrative of the song revolves around the artist's tumultuous relationship with a woman and the complications that arise from his lifestyle choices. References to luxury brands and possessions, such as Gucci shoes and a Honda Civic, juxtapose the desire for material success with the reality of not having reached the pinnacle of wealth, as indicated by not owning a Ferrari. The repeated apologies for infidelity ('baby, I'm sorry') suggest a cycle of remorse and repeated mistakes, highlighting the difficulty of change.

The song also touches on themes of loyalty and street credibility. The protagonist is ready to confront anyone he sees with his girl, emphasizing a possessive and potentially violent aspect of his character. The mention of wearing masks and gloves to avoid witnesses during confrontations adds a layer of darkness to the song, suggesting criminal activities. The use of drugs like marijuana ('mari') and MDMA ('molly') is portrayed as both a coping mechanism and a cause of loss of control, further complicating the protagonist's life and relationships.
