Esencial is Beret’s reminder that the most priceless treasures are often the simplest ones. With playful word-twists and an upbeat groove, he tells us he has time but not to waste, money but not to flaunt, and dreams but only if they feel real. The song paints life as a backpack filled with just the basics: the air we breathe, memories collected on the road, a friend to talk to, and laughter that slips out under the moon. By stripping away the clutter, Beret shouts that these tiny sparks are more than enough to keep us flying.
Instead of worrying about tomorrow, the lyrics urge us to seize the sunlight of today, improvise our own path, and ditch the fear of the unknown. Happiness is portrayed as something wonderfully low-maintenance: a lighter without a flint, the urge to dance, and a thousand reasons to toast. “Esencial” is both a carefree anthem and a philosophical note in your pocket, nudging you to value experiences over price tags, enjoy the ride, and trust that a clear sky is never too far away.
