Para Lelos

Babasónicos' song 'Para Lelos' delves into the themes of innocence, familial ties, and the inevitable disillusionment that comes with growing up. The opening lines, 'no te olvides que vos sos un niño, tambien sos tu mama y tu papa,' remind the listener of their inherent innocence and the influence of their parents. This duality of being both a child and a reflection of one's parents sets the stage for a deeper exploration of identity and expectations.

The lyrics 'ya lo creo habias esperado tanto, dando vueltas sin saber que hay algo mas' suggest a sense of longing and confusion, a feeling of being lost while searching for something more meaningful. This resonates with the universal experience of growing up and realizing that life is more complex than it initially seemed. The protagonist's serious demeanor contrasts with the smiling observer, highlighting the tension between outward appearances and internal struggles.

As the song progresses, the line 'vivimos un destino para lelos' captures the essence of living a seemingly foolish or naive destiny. This phrase, coupled with the sentiment 'despues dicen que el mundo es un pañuelo,' reflects the smallness and interconnectedness of the world, which can be both comforting and overwhelming. The repeated refrain 'y a mi me vienen ganas de llorar, y no tengo consuelo' underscores a profound sense of sadness and lack of solace, emphasizing the emotional weight of these realizations. Babasónicos masterfully blends introspective lyrics with a melancholic tone, creating a poignant reflection on the complexities of life and the bittersweet journey of growing up.
