Cincuenta Por Ciento

In 'Cincuenta Por Ciento,' Littus delves into the complexities of a one-sided relationship where love and effort are not equally reciprocated. The song's title, which translates to 'Fifty Percent,' sets the stage for a narrative about imbalance and dissatisfaction. The lyrics express the frustration of giving one's all in a relationship while receiving only half-hearted affection in return. Littus sings about the emotional toll this takes, highlighting the disparity between his full commitment and his partner's lukewarm response.

The chorus poignantly captures this sentiment: 'Tu no me das amor como yo quiero, yo te doy mi amor, tu me das calor, pero tu nunca llegas al cincuenta por ciento.' This translates to 'You don't give me love the way I want, I give you my love, you give me warmth, but you never reach fifty percent.' The use of 'calor' (warmth) instead of 'amor' (love) suggests that while there is some affection, it lacks the depth and intensity that Littus desires. This metaphor of warmth versus love underscores the emotional gap between the two partners.

Littus also touches on themes of self-worth and the importance of mutual respect in a relationship. He acknowledges that he has given his all ('Si mis noches enteras te di') and recognizes that his partner is self-centered ('Y tu solo piensas en ti'). The realization that he deserves more leads him to a point of no return, where he decides that he can no longer live this way ('Ya no puedo estar así, queda mucho por vivir, al cien por ciento'). This declaration of self-respect and the desire for a fully reciprocated love is a powerful message that resonates with anyone who has felt undervalued in a relationship.
