Acidal (tonada Para El Huerto En Re Menor)

Uaral's song "Acidal (tonada Para El Huerto En Re Menor)" is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of sorrow, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a poem that has died, symbolizing the loss of innocence, dreams, and joy. The recurring motif of a dead poem, described as "florecido de inviernos" (bloomed from winters), suggests a creation born out of hardship and coldness, only to be lost again. This imagery evokes a sense of cyclical suffering and the inevitability of loss.

The song delves deep into themes of melancholy and abandonment. The narrator speaks of finding the poem "bajo el llanto" (under the weeping) and walking through frost, indicating a journey through emotional and physical desolation. The use of natural elements like rain, frost, and wind serves as metaphors for the emotional states of the narrator. The wind, described as "desprovisto de fronteras" (devoid of borders), represents a force that moves freely, touching all corners where silence speaks, further emphasizing the pervasive nature of sorrow.

The lyrics also touch on the impact of familial loss and the lessons learned from funerals, as the narrator mentions learning to walk in mud and the enduring presence of childhood memories. The repeated questioning of "recuerdas?" (do you remember?) highlights the longing for a time when innocence was lost, and the subsequent realization of a dead poem born from these experiences. The song concludes with the bitter acknowledgment that the "llanto amargo de la lluvia" (bitter weeping of the rain) has killed the narrator's joy, encapsulating the profound sense of grief and resignation that permeates the entire piece.
