Together they create images and musical atmospheres that produce universal sensations such as nostalgia and calm, like two foreign languages conversing on the same topic, like two brothers from different parents and music in common. They take their name from the movie "Pequeña Revancha" by the Venezuelan director Olegario Barreras. In this story, simple and authentic aspects of life with which the duet feels identified slip through. Up to now they have released the albums: Falsos Hermanos (2013) and Pasos Syncopados (2017)

La Pequeña Revancha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que me lleve lo oscuro
Y que rompa en pedazos
Sobre mí la eternidad

Que me arrastre la marea
Tengo los brazos abiertos
Hoy me entrego a naufragar

No hace falta más
Estos dedos te tocaron
Esta boca te besó
No hace falta más
Lo perfecto no se añora
Esta boca te besó

Sin mirar a ambos lados
Cruzo sin miedo la calle
Que ayer me llevó a ti

Y si hubiese que arrojarse
El vacío me sonríe
Yo lo vuelvo a saludar

No hace falta más
Estos dedos te tocaron
Esta boca te besó
No hace falta más

Lo perfecto no se añora
Esta boca te besó

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Que me lleve lo oscuro, y que rompa en pedazos, sobre mí la eternidad" can be interpreted as the singer feeling overwhelmed with life's complexities, and yearning to escape them by allowing darkness to consume them entirely. The line "que me arrastre la marea, tengo los brazos abiertos, hoy me entrego a naufragar" further portrays this sense of surrender as the singer declares their willingness to let the tide take them.

The chorus "No hace falta más, estos dedos te tocaron, esta boca te besó, no hace falta más, lo perfecto no se añora, esta boca te besó" emphasizes the significance of a particular romantic encounter to the singer. The song, in general, appears to be about surrendering to love, and the power of an intimate encounter that can make all of life's problems fade away. The lyrics describing crossing the street without fear and greeting emptiness with a smile further reinforce this theme of surrendering to the unknown in pursuit of love.

Line by Line Meaning

Que me lleve lo oscuro
I want the darkness to take me away

Y que rompa en pedazos
And for it to break me into pieces

Sobre mí la eternidad
So eternity can be upon me

Que me arrastre la marea
I want the tide to carry me away

Tengo los brazos abiertos
With my arms wide open

Hoy me entrego a naufragar
I surrender to the possibility of drowning

No hace falta más
There is no need for anything else

Estos dedos te tocaron
These fingers touched you

Esta boca te besó
This mouth kissed you

Lo perfecto no se añora
Perfection is not something to be longed for

Sin mirar a ambos lados
Without looking both ways
