Straight talk, golden dreams – contradictions rule the day!
In “Hablando En Plata,” Melendi opens a suitcase full of opposites and shakes them out like confetti. The Spanish singer piles up everyday images – pirated CDs, street-corner roses, fairy tales – beside bigger-than-life snapshots such as “a funeral and four weddings.” By stringing these contrasts together, he paints life as a roller-coaster where the sad can laugh, the plain can dazzle, and truth can hide inside a lie told for love. The chorus’s repetitive chant is catchy but also revealing: while we may try to speak plainly (plata), our hopes always glitter in gold (oro), vaulting us sky-high one moment and dropping us into uncertainty the next.
In the verses, Melendi admits he’s lost track of time, logic, and even his own feelings: if something can go up and down, get wet and dry, how can he know what’s real? This fog clears only when he focuses on one clear point – “I only think about you.” The song becomes a witty, street-wise meditation on life’s ironies and the way love slices through the confusion. Expect a playful Spanish vocabulary lesson wrapped in a reminder that reality, like music, is mixed in unexpected keys.
