about

The repeated ostinato figure and fiery vocals from Sissy go far in creating the moody atmosphere of “El Reto”. Jorge wrote “El Reto” during a particularly challenging portion of his life. Themes of isolation, despair, and hope intersect. At the beginning, the lyrics evoke the fear of a challenge, perceived as insurmountable. But as the song progresses, lies hope and the conviction that everything passes. “Your belly announces the dawn” is a metaphor for rebirth.The chorus, a powerhouse of courage and hope, carries the message that we are not alone. When we trust the process and embrace others’ loving support, we can get through the toughest times.

lyrics

“El Reto”
Letra y música: Jorge Perez-Albela

Hoy anochece
Y siento temor
una luz tenue
en mi ser

Yo se
El tiempo
Me sanara

Tu vientre
Anuncia
El amanecer

Y así no hay reto
....

Pasan los días
Y vienes a mi
Tu mano al hombro
Y un “si"

Yo se
Que el tiempo me sanara

Tu vientre
Anuncia
El amanecer

Y así no hay reto

Coro:

Se que el tiempo pasará
Y pronto sanarás
Tu dulce corazón
vive este tu dolor
Que yo contigo estoy
Te ofrezco mi canción

Take this dark and lonely pain
Believe, you’re not alone
In feeling this despair
Know, the sun will rise again
And sooner than you think
Your heart will heal this pain
