Blu (Lo Que Sueño)

Zucchero's song 'Blu (Lo Que Sueño)' is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and the fragility of dreams. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply in love, yet acutely aware of the delicate nature of their emotions. The recurring imagery of being 'Cristal' (crystal) and a 'viento sin movimiento' (wind without movement) underscores the vulnerability and stillness that comes with unfulfilled desires and dreams. The metaphor of being like 'un mar de agua sin sal' (a sea without salt) further emphasizes a sense of emptiness and lack of vitality without the presence of the loved one.

The song's narrative is built around the act of dreaming and the painful realization that these dreams may not come to fruition. The line 'todo lo que sueño se hace al despertar' (everything I dream of happens when I wake up) suggests a bittersweet awakening where dreams and reality collide, often leading to heartache. The imagery of 'hojas en el viento' (leaves in the wind) symbolizes the fleeting and transient nature of these dreams, easily scattered and lost without the grounding presence of the beloved.

Zucchero's musical style, known for blending rock, blues, and Italian pop, adds a rich emotional layer to the song. The melancholic melody and soulful delivery enhance the lyrical themes of longing and fragility. The repetition of 'Soy Cristal' (I am crystal) and 'Mi corazón se romperá' (My heart will break) throughout the song serves as a haunting reminder of the emotional stakes involved in love and the inevitable pain that comes with it. 'Blu (Lo Que Sueño)' is a testament to the power of dreams and the heartache of unfulfilled love, capturing the essence of human vulnerability in a beautifully crafted musical piece.
