Ese Estúpido Que Llama

Pimpinela's 'Ese Estúpido Que Llama' is a dramatic and emotionally charged song that delves into themes of jealousy, trust, and deception within a relationship. The song is structured as a dialogue between two characters, Joaquín and Lucía, who are presumably in a romantic relationship. Joaquín accuses Lucía of being in contact with another man who calls her and confesses his love when Joaquín is not around. Lucía defends herself, insisting that the man is a stranger and that she has not been in touch with him.

As the song progresses, Joaquín's jealousy and paranoia become more evident. He describes the other man as a coward who hides and lacks the courage to confront him directly. Lucía, on the other hand, pleads with Joaquín to trust her, claiming that the man is trying to harm their relationship with lies. The tension builds until the dramatic twist at the end, where Joaquín reveals that he himself is the 'estúpido' who has been calling. This confession suggests that Joaquín's accusations were a test of Lucía's fidelity or perhaps a manifestation of his own insecurities.

The song, performed by the Argentine duo Pimpinela, is known for its theatrical style and storytelling through music. Their songs often feature dialogues that resemble scenes from a play, with strong emotional expressions and interpersonal conflicts. 'Ese Estúpido Que Llama' is a classic example of their unique approach to music, which resonates with audiences who appreciate the dramatic interplay of love and conflict.
