De Un Verano a Otro

AIRBAG's song 'De Un Verano a Otro' captures the poignant and universal experience of lost love and the passage of time. The lyrics tell the story of a recurring summer romance that ultimately fades away, leaving the protagonist grappling with the changes that come with each passing year. The song begins with the anticipation of a summer reunion, a ritual that has become a comforting constant. However, this year is different; the arrival of the loved one is marked by the presence of another person, hinting at a shift in the relationship dynamics.

The imagery of the 'Samsonite de ruedas' and the 'chico alto y delgado' walking alongside the protagonist's love interest serves as a metaphor for the baggage and new relationships that come with time. The protagonist's hope that the new companion is merely a brother underscores the denial and desperation to hold onto the past. As the song progresses, the realization sets in that the winter has turned everything around, and the once-cherished summer love has been lost to another.

The chorus, repeating 'Y de un verano a otro te perdí,' emphasizes the cyclical nature of time and the inevitability of change. The protagonist's memories of shared moments—laughing in bars, enjoying ice creams, and drinking beers—are now tainted by the presence of the new lover. This song beautifully encapsulates the melancholy of seeing someone you once loved move on, and the painful acceptance that comes with it. AIRBAG's emotive delivery and relatable lyrics make 'De Un Verano a Otro' a touching reflection on love, loss, and the passage of time.
