Berlín

Aitana's song 'Berlín' delves into the emotional turmoil of a long-distance relationship and the pain of waiting for a lover who may never return. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and the difficulty of maintaining a connection when physical presence is absent. The song's refrain, 'No sé qué pasará en Berlín, si esto va a ser el fin,' translates to 'I don't know what will happen in Berlin, if this is going to be the end,' highlighting the uncertainty and fear of a potential breakup. The city of Berlin here symbolizes the distance between the lovers, and possibly, a place where decisions about the relationship's future will be made.

The repeated lines 'Yo sé que fuiste tú / El que te fuiste, tú' ('I know it was you / The one who left, you') emphasize the singer's awareness that her partner chose to leave, leaving her alone in Madrid. This acknowledgment of abandonment is paired with a conflicting desire to still be close to the person, as expressed in the yearning to 'besarte, besarte y besarte' ('kiss you, kiss you, and kiss you'). The emotional complexity is further enhanced by the line 'Dicen que amor de lejos, felices los cuatro' ('They say that long-distance love, happy the four'), a Spanish saying that suggests long-distance relationships allow for infidelity, adding a layer of jealousy and insecurity to the singer's feelings.

Aitana, a Spanish singer who rose to fame on the reality show 'Operación Triunfo,' often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth in her music. 'Berlín' is a testament to her ability to convey the nuances of romantic relationships, capturing the listener's empathy through relatable experiences of love and loss. The song's melancholic tone and evocative lyrics resonate with anyone who has endured the challenges of loving someone from afar.
