El Hit
Emmanuel Horvilleur Lyrics

The lyrics to Emmanuel Horvilleur's song "El Hit" are about the pursuit of fame and success in the music industry. Horvilleur begins by describing himself alone in his room, feeling a bit detached from reality as he contemplates how to communicate something to someone, likely a lover. He then goes on to acknowledge the existence of those who actively chase after fame and success – the "searchers for gold," the "distributors of lead," the "fighters in the mud," and the "lambs who become wolves."

Amidst all this, Horvilleur declares that he himself never chased after a "hit" – that is, he never sought to create a song that would rocket to the top of the charts or become wildly popular. Instead, he explains that he was only ever trying to make music that would appeal to this one particular person ("gustarte a ti"). He emphasizes this point throughout the song, repeating that phrase several times and asserting that everything that he has done has not been in vain because they still have "a thousand summers" ahead of them.

The overall message of this song seems to be that there are different ways to approach success in music, and that one of those ways is to focus on creating music that speaks to an individual rather than trying to make something that will be universally popular. At the same time, Horvilleur acknowledges the pressure that exists to create something that will be a "hit" and the fact that there are those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that kind of success.
