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)

Temporal
La Pequeña Revancha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Incandescencia, tácita luz
De las pasiones, la mejor virtud
Mi transparencia, sin publicar
Llegas a casa, nada que declarar

Ven a gotear en el techo
Súbele a esa canción
óyete en mis escalones

Y hagámonos superstición (BIS)

Gesto silente, contento de ser
Me mezo en la cima
Y nadie me ve
Efervescencia, sin efervescer
Corro despacio y te vuelvo a ver

Ven a gotear en el techo
Súbele a esa canción

óyete en mis escalones
Y hagámonos superstición (BIS)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of La Pequeña Revancha's song Temporal are both mysterious and poetic, painting a picture of a person with an internal world of passions and emotions that they keep hidden from public view. The lines "Incandescencia, tácita luz/De las pasiones, la mejor virtud" speak to the idea that it's our internal passions that truly make us shine, even if we don't always feel comfortable sharing them with others. The singer also references their "transparency" that they keep "sin publicar" (unpublished), suggesting that they have a lot below the surface that they're not ready or willing to reveal.

The chorus speaks to the desire to let loose and be free, with lines like "Ven a gotear en el techo/Súbele a esa canción" suggesting a playful and passionate invitation to someone else. The final line, "Y hagámonos superstición," is a bit cryptic, but could be interpreted as a desire to create a ritual or belief system around the experience of letting go and embracing one's hidden passions.

Overall, Temporal seems to be a song about the power of personal passions and emotions, and the idea that sometimes it takes a bit of secrecy or playfulness to fully tap into those things.
