El sol no da de beber

Silvio Rodríguez wrote El sol no da de beber as part of the album Unicornio, released in 1982. The song stands out for its gentle rhythm and lyrics that speak of loneliness and the lack of hope. In the track, the singer describes a situation where there is nothing to offer, not even the sun. Rodriguez's voice feels more intimate, as if he were speaking directly to the listener. The song has little instrumental accompaniment, giving it a more personal feel. It is a piece that is often repeated, with over seven thousand plays on Last.fm, and remains one of the most listened-to songs in his repertoire.
