Sarna con Gusto

Pimpinela's song 'Sarna con Gusto' delves into the complexities and resilience of a deep, enduring love. The lyrics, performed as a duet by Lucía and Joaquín, explore the trials and tribulations that the couple has faced together. They acknowledge the numerous challenges and near-breakups they have endured, yet they remain united, suggesting that their bond is divinely ordained and unbreakable. The phrase 'Sarna con gusto no pica' (which translates to 'Itch with pleasure doesn't itch') serves as a metaphor for the idea that the difficulties they face are bearable because they are endured out of love and mutual commitment.

The song emphasizes the strength of sincere love, which, according to the lyrics, 'does not die.' This sentiment is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that true love can withstand any obstacle. The couple admits to their flaws and the selfishness that has sometimes characterized their relationship, yet they also highlight their ability to forgive each other. This mutual forgiveness and understanding are portrayed as the foundation of their enduring relationship.

'Sarna con Gusto' also touches on the theme of interdependence. Lucía and Joaquín repeatedly state that 'alone we are nothing, together nothing can stop us,' underscoring the idea that their strength lies in their unity. This message is particularly powerful, suggesting that despite individual weaknesses, their combined efforts and love make them invincible. The song is a testament to the power of love to overcome adversity and the importance of partnership in navigating life's challenges.
