y que en el aire aveces las compongo
si te dijera que puedo bajarte
alguna estrella si me lo propongo
si te dijera que puedo llevarte
por todo el mundo en uno de mis yates
si te dijera que puedo llenarte
todos los dedos de puros diamantes
si te dijera que soy amigo del stallone
si te dijera que soy el dueño de Nueva York
pero lo cierto es que no tengo nada
aunque trabaje toda la semana
pero lo cierto es que no escribo nada
y si conosco un barco es de la armada
yo no conosco a stallone
y mucho menos New York
tengo por mesa un cajón
duermo en un viejo sillón
yo solo tengo un montón de sueños para los dos
yo solo tengo este amor
dime si quieres tomar el riesgo...
si te dijera que soy un artista
y que aparesco en todas las revistas
si te dijera que con mi fortuna
compre una casa en medio de la luna
si te dijera que soy amigo del stallone
si te dijera que soy el dueño Disney World
pero lo cierto es que no tengo nada
aunque trabaje toda la semana
pero lo cierto es que no escribo nada
y si conosco un barco es de la armada
yo no conosco a stallone
y mucho menos New York
tengo por mesa un cajón
duermo en un viejo sillón
yo solo tengo un monton de sueños para los dos
yo solo tengo este amor
dime si quieres tomar el riesgo
yo no conosco a stallone
y mucho menos New York
tengo por mesa un cajón
duermo en un viejo sillón
yo solo tengo un monton de sueños para los dos
yo solo tengo este amor
dime si quieres tomar el riesgo
In Raúl Ornelas's song "El Riesgo," the lyrics explore the idea of presenting a grand image of oneself to a loved one, filled with wealth, fame, and success. The singer imagines himself as a poet who can compose songs in the air, as someone who can bring down stars from the sky, and as a person who can travel the world on luxurious yachts. He paints a picture where he is friends with Stallone and owns New York City. However, in contrast to these grand claims, he admits the truth: he has nothing, even though he works hard all week. He reveals that he doesn't write anything and the only boat he knows is from the navy. He acknowledges that he doesn't know Stallone or own New York City, and instead, he lives with a drawer as his table and sleeps on an old armchair.
Despite lacking material possessions, he tells his loved one that he has a multitude of dreams for both of them and that he only has love to offer. He asks if she is willing to take the risk with him, indicating that while he may not have much in the way of material wealth or worldly success, he has love and dreams to share.
Overall, "El Riesgo" explores the theme of honesty and the dichotomy between presenting an image of grandeur and admitting personal shortcomings. It emphasizes the importance of love and dreams in a relationship, suggesting that taking a risk on love is worthwhile, regardless of material possessions.
