Nana para adultos: gold satin and red hearts
This lullaby isn't for putting children to sleep. One look at the cover of Nana para adultos (Lullaby for Adults) is enough to understand that.
The scene is a bedroom of glorious excess: pink fur rugs and cushions, an old lamp switched on, plants, paintings and the warm light of the small hours. On top of it all, two guys lounging. One wears open gold satin pyjamas and glasses; the other, in front, black pyjamas printed with red hearts, also open, looking at the camera with a half smile. Above, the title in fuchsia neon letters, like the sign of a late-night bar.
I love the idea of turning a cradle song into something for grown-ups. Lullabies have always been there to soothe, to keep you company in that moment of drifting into sleep. Here the room invites you to do anything but sleep, and that contradiction is already half the joke.
What happens inside the song, I'd rather you hear for yourself. I'd put it on late, with the lights low and in no hurry at all to switch off the lamp.
