Buenos Tiempos

Adán Cruz's 'Buenos Tiempos' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia and the bittersweet memories of a past relationship. The song opens with the artist returning to a place filled with memories, a house that once witnessed the intensity of their love. This setting immediately evokes a sense of longing and reflection, as Cruz reminisces about the last time they shared a roof, emphasizing the intimacy and connection they once had.

The lyrics delve deeper into the moments of everyday life that the artist misses the most. Simple acts like lying in bed together and having dinner while watching TV become powerful symbols of their bond. These mundane activities, now cherished memories, highlight the depth of the relationship and the comfort they found in each other's presence. The repetition of 'me aferro tanto' (I hold on so much) underscores the difficulty of letting go, as the artist clings to these memories despite the pain it brings.

As the song progresses, Cruz acknowledges the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings. Both individuals have moved on with their lives, taking different paths, yet the artist is left wondering when exactly time 'ran them over.' This metaphor captures the sudden and often unnoticed way life can change, leaving one to grapple with the remnants of what once was. The chorus, with its repeated lament of 'qué buenos tiempos' (what good times), serves as a haunting reminder of the happiness that has slipped away, making 'Buenos Tiempos' a heartfelt ode to lost love and the enduring ache of nostalgia.
