Todo A Pulmón
A. Lerner Lyrics

The song "Todo A Pulmón" by A. Lerner talks about the struggles of pursuing one's dreams and staying true to oneself in the face of external and internal pressure. The first stanza reflects the uncertainty and confusion that come with embarking on a journey with no clear destination or direction. The singer questions whether they are going forward or backward, if they are on the right path, and if returning is a form of arriving. The metaphorical "furgón" suggests a vehicle that may or may not take the singer to where they want to go. The heavy "equipaje" or baggage the singer carries further emphasizes the weight of their doubts, fears, and expectations. The reality outside of the singer is described as "tirana" or tyrannical, laughing at the singer's struggle to find what they are looking for. The line "porque espera que me canse de buscar" implies that the challenges are not there to defeat the singer but to test their resilience and determination. The repetition of the phrase "que difícil se me hace" conveys the emotional intensity of the situation and the desperation to overcome it.

The second stanza expresses the need to stay true to one's values, beliefs, and identity, despite the temptations and compromises that may arise along the way. The singer uses the slang term "transa" to refer to illegal or dishonest schemes, and "prostitución" to refer to selling oneself for material gain. The fact that the singer wants to stay "lejos" or far from these activities indicates a moral stance against them. The singer acknowledges that their ideology may not be perfect or universally shared, but it is their own and defines their humanity. The reference to "la contradicción" suggests that the singer is aware of the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in human nature and experience, and accepts them as part of their own development.

The chorus of the song, "Todo a pulmón", means "all out, at full volume," or "with all my might." The song is a tribute to the power of self-determination and the human spirit to persevere through challenges and adversity. The use of musical terms such as "nota", "estrofa", and "canción" highlights the role of music as both a personal and a universal form of expression. The mention of postponed dates, departure, arrival, and breathing reinforces the idea of a journey with ups and downs, stops and gos, and the need to take care of oneself along the way. The repeated phrase "todo a pulmón" suggests that the singer is putting their heart, soul, and breath into everything they do, regardless of the outcome.
