Hmmm?

I don’t get this one.   I think the translation of “Naufrago” from Spanish is “shipwrecked” but there must be some second meaning to refer to the stools and half-empty glasses of orange juice.   Anyone have any insights?

   haha. don’t waste your time trying to find a meaning. there is none – at least in the text. ‘náufrago’, indeed, it’s Crusoe. would she be waiting on a desert island? yikes!

   Thanks for your note! Maybe she’s just asking herself if the glass is 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?

   “Lamento naufrago” is a wonderful song, especially in Chucho Sanoja’s (Venezuela) interpretation. I’ve been after this song for a lifetime, I have it in other versions. Find info about it in Wikipedia, with a pic of the original cover. This pic doesn’t depict a shipwreck, but should it? What is shipwrecked –in the song– is the “love lament” (lamento naufrago) for a distant lover, sung from the beach, to -I imagine- a long gone sailor and lover. The lament shipwrecks, because no one hears it. How do you depict shipwrecked love? The three glasses, of course, suggest a shipwrecked menage -a -trois. Who knows?
