Dicen Que Dicen invites us into La Oreja de Van Gogh’s playful laboratory of optimism. It opens with the rallying cry “Caer está permitido, levantarse es una obligación” – falling is allowed, but rising is a must. From there, the lyrics bounce between vivid images: a light that flickers out after “zero,” a mirror that shows your past while your future stands right behind you, and a whimsical “peculiar vegetable” said to make you laugh at the dreaded bruja Avería just as an onion makes you cry. All these snapshots work together to remind us that setbacks, doubts, and even superstition lose their power when we choose to stand up, laugh, and look at life from a brighter angle.
The song’s second act turns everyday wonders into proof that the impossible is only temporary. Under the right light, anything looks better; a desert hides life-giving water; and the once unreachable moon can be conquered with a “simple escalera.” Wrapped in catchy pop melodies, these lines whisper a simple truth: hope is a habit, and imagination is its best friend. When the chorus tells us that every kiss, every flower, and every song is “sleeping in its drawer,” it is daring us to pull them out, dust them off, and dream louder. In short, “Dicen Que Dicen” is a sparkling reminder that resilience and curiosity can turn ordinary days into extraordinary adventures.
